It is a day set apart from ordinary activities, highlighting the importance of rest and reflection. The prohibition against work underscores the need for the Israelites to focus entirely on spiritual matters, setting aside daily labor to engage in repentance and reconciliation with God. This mirrors the Sabbath principle, where rest is a form of worship and trust in God's provision.for it is the Day of Atonement The Day of Atonement is the most sacred day in the Jewish calendar, a time for national and individual repentance. It is a day when the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies to make atonement for the sins of the people. This day foreshadows the ultimate atonement made by Jesus Christ, who, as the High Priest, entered the heavenly sanctuary once for all, offering His own blood for the redemption of humanity (<a href="/hebrews/9-11.htm">Hebrews 9:11-12</a>).when atonement is made for you Atonement involves the covering or removal of sin, allowing for reconciliation between God and His people. In the Old Testament, this was achieved through the sacrificial system, where the blood of animals symbolically cleansed the people from their sins. This anticipates the New Testament fulfillment in Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross provides true and lasting atonement for sin (<a href="/romans/3-25.htm">Romans 3:25</a>).before the LORD your God The phrase "before the LORD" signifies the presence of God and the seriousness of the occasion. The Day of Atonement is not merely a ritual but a divine appointment where the Israelites stand in the presence of their holy God. It is a reminder of God's holiness and the need for His people to be purified to maintain fellowship with Him.
