It occurs on the tenth day of the seventh month, Tishri, and is a day of fasting, prayer, and repentance. This day is set apart by God for the purpose of atonement and reconciliation between Him and His people.<p><b>atonement will be made for you</b><br>Atonement involves the covering or removal of sin, allowing for reconciliation with God. In the Old Testament, this was achieved through the sacrificial system, particularly the offering of a goat as a sin offering. The high priest would enter the Holy of Holies to sprinkle the blood on the mercy seat, symbolizing the people's sins being covered. This foreshadows the ultimate atonement made by Jesus Christ, whose sacrifice on the cross provides permanent atonement for sin.<p><b>to cleanse you</b><br>The cleansing here is both ceremonial and spiritual. It signifies the removal of impurity and sin, allowing the Israelites to stand pure before God. This cleansing is a precursor to the New Testament concept of being washed clean by the blood of Christ, as seen in 1 <a href="/john/1-7.htm">John 1:7</a>, where believers are cleansed from all sin.<p><b>and you will be clean from all your sins</b><br>This phrase emphasizes the completeness of the atonement provided on this day. It is a comprehensive cleansing, covering all sins, not just specific transgressions. This anticipates the New Covenant promise where believers are made clean through faith in Christ, as stated in <a href="/hebrews/10-22.htm">Hebrews 10:22</a>, which speaks of having hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience.<p><b>before the LORD</b><br>The phrase underscores the importance of being in right standing with God. The Day of Atonement rituals were performed in the presence of the LORD, highlighting His holiness and the necessity of approaching Him with reverence and purity. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to draw near to God with a sincere heart and full assurance of faith, as seen in <a href="/hebrews/10-19.htm">Hebrews 10:19-22</a>.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who establishes the Day of Atonement as a means for His people to be cleansed from their sins.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The prophet and leader of Israel who receives the laws and instructions from God, including those concerning the Day of Atonement.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron.htm">Aaron</a></b><br>The first high priest of Israel, who performs the rituals of atonement as prescribed by God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, who are the recipients of the atonement and cleansing from their sins.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_day_of_atonement.htm">The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur)</a></b><br>A significant annual event in the Jewish calendar, established by God as a day for the atonement and purification of the people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_necessity_of_atonement.htm">The Necessity of Atonement</a></b><br>Atonement is essential for reconciliation with God.
