Page 4: Day of Atonement

WaYiqra 23:27

YaHuWaH spoke to Moshah, saying, “However on the tenth day of this

seventh month is Yom Kippur: it shall be a Set-apart convocation to you, and

you shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to

YaHuWaH.

On this high holiday alone is the same level of strictness of the sabbath

observed, and even more so. Humble yourselves: often translated "afflict your

souls", which is taken to mean a complete fast. It could just as well read

"suppress your appetites", so this is a legitimate interpretation, especially in

light of

Yesh./Isa. 58:3.

Why have we fasted,’ say they, ‘and you don’t see? Why have we afflicted our

being, and You take no knowledge?’ „Behold, in the day of your fast you find

pleasure, and exact all your laborers.

This is why "no work at all", not even preparation of food, is allowed.

Traditionally, one also does not bathe or anoint one's body with fragrances.

When YaHuWShuWaH said to do these things while fasting, he was referring to

a personal fast, which is more than is required, but this one is a corporate fast

required of everyone in the community, so no one has to humbly hide the fact

that he is fasting. It could also mean "be busy about your soul" (considering

what motivates us and wherein we have failed and need to repent), not with

things of the body, which is why all of these are set aside and left unattended--

so there can be complete concentration on repentance. At the end of Yom

Kippur, we are to bring an offering to YHWH, but first YaHuWShuWaH tells us

to get things right with our brothers, and leave the offering until then.

(Matt. 5:24)

Leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to

your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

Page 5: Day of Atonement

By Jewish tradition, He will not forgive us on this day if the human victims of

our sins have not already forgiven us. Doors are opened on this day in the

heavenlies to give us the power to overcome our sins,

You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is Yom Kippur, to make

atonement for you before YaHuWaH your Aluahiym. For whoever is who shall

not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off from his people.

Humbled: On this day it is especially honorable to confess our sins, to establish

the fact that this is always honorable. Confession is done with the mouth, but

repentance can only be proven by our actions. But again, the term also means

"busy", so here the "Boss" is saying, "Get busy or you'll get fired!" (See v. 27.)

Whoever it is who does any manner of work in that same day, that person I will

destroy from among his people.

You shall do no manner of work:

"Particular": Heb., etzem, which means "selfsame/essence/substance", but

more commonly "bone", "body member", or "binding together". So this is a day

for bringing Yoseyf's bones back to the Land

Ber. 50:25; Y'chezqel/Ezekiel 37)

after they have been dead to their identity and separated individually to

themselves. When they become unselfish and are reunited with Yehudah, they

will form one body who is a bride for YaHuWaH (37:20; v. 27 above). Banish:

cause to stray away, or destroy. He is like the one who comes to the wedding

feast without the proper garment and is cast into the "outer darkness", away

from where all the joy is. Matt. 22:13

it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It shall

be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves.

Page 6: Day of Atonement

Working on this day is an abomination, because at this point it is too late to

change the sentence for this year. If we have not repented by now, additional

efforts will be futile, and we must "lie in the bed we have made"--or rest in the

fact that our sins are covered because of what YaHuWShuWaH has done,

because this day foreshadows the final Day of Judgment. On this day alone is it

possible for willful sins to be forgiven, and on this day alone does the high

priest make atonement in the holiest place for the entire community as a

whole unit. How does it bind us together? See Yeshayahu/Isaiah 58.

in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall

keep your Sabbath.”

When people read the above they become confused, for it says on the 10th day

you will keep the Day of Atonement, and you shall deny yourselves in the 9th

day of the month from evening to evening

This is the only festival actually called a "sabbath" rather than a Shabbaton

("high sabbath"). Evening to evening : that is, sunset to sunset on the ninth: the

day begins at evening, in darkness, just as we begin our lives in the dark womb,

and the Day of YaHuWaH will begin with wrath and great terror on the earth.

Days overlap in Hebraic thought, so if we do not begin as it is still the ninth, we

will miss the beginning of the actual Day. Yoseyf's dream tells us that the moon

symbolizes a woman (his mother), and thus it represents the bride of YaHuWaH

as well. A bare sliver of moon is visible on the Day of Trumpets. By the evening

of the 9th, the moon is 2/3 full, yet still needs to be further clothed until we

reach the fullness of joy at the next festival, Sukkoth, on the 15th. These

Page 7: Day of Atonement

festivals include the opening of gates, so symbolically we are entering gate

after gate, progressing higher and higher through the various courts, getting

closer to the Temple itself, which we finally reach at Sukkoth, when there is

total revelation. But the number 10 symbolizes a complete congregation, so on

the 10th we should be putting our own selves away, thus enabling our joy to be

made complete.

Here is proof of The True Calendar of YaHuWaH, each year the Day of

Atonement lands on the weekly Sabbath, which is a joy to behold; it’s not a

day of affliction, further notice

“you shall keep your Sabbath.”

and

in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening,

it’s a DAY of YOUR affliction from evening to evening

it’s the ninth day

knowing you can set his calendar days by knowing which day is the day of

atonement, means worshipping our creator and not creation

This particular Sabbath is called your Sabbath, for the weekly Sabbath is oft

called the Sabbath of YaHuWaH.

“The fast”

Act_27:9

When much time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, because the

Fast had now already gone by, Sha'ul admonished them,

and the only one commanded in the law of Moses.

The mode of its observance is described in

Lev 16:3-10;

“Herewith shall Aharon come into the Sanctuary: with a young bull for a sin

offering and a ram for a burnt offering? He shall put on the Set-apart linen coat,

Page 9: Day of Atonement

and he shall have the linen breeches on his body, and shall put on the linen

sash, and he shall be dressed with the linen turban. They are the Set-apart

garments. He shall bathe his body in water, and put them on. He shall take

from the congregation of the children of YISCHRaEL two male goats for a sin

offering and one ram for a burnt offering. “Aharon shall offer the bull of the sin

offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his

house. He shall take the two goats, and set them before YaHuWaH at the door

of the Tent of Meeting. Aharon shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot for

YaHuWaH, and the other lot for the scapegoat. Aharon shall present the goat

on which the lot fell for YaHuWaH, and offer him for a sin offering. But the

goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before

YaHuWaH, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat

into the wilderness.

Lev_23:26-32;

YaHuWaH spoke to Moshah, saying, “However on the tenth day of this seventh

month is Yom Kippur: it shall be a Set-apart convocation to you, and you shall

afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to YaHuWaH.

You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is Yom Kippur, to make

atonement for you before YaHuWaH your Aluahiym. Whoever it is who shall

not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off from his people. Whoever it

is who does any manner of work in that same day, that person I will destroy

from among his people. You shall do no manner of work: it is a statute forever

throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It shall be a Sabbath of

solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the

month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”

Num_29:7-11.

“‘On the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a set-apart

convocation; and you shall afflict your souls: you shall do no manner of work;

but you shall offer a burnt offering to YaHuWaH for a pleasant aroma: one

young bull, one ram, seven male lambs a year old; they shall be to you without

blemish; and their meal offering, fine flour mixed with oil, three tenth parts for

the bull, two tenth parts for the one ram, a tenth part for every lamb of the

Page 10: Day of Atonement

seven lambs: one male goat for a sin offering; besides the sin offering of

atonement, and the continual burnt offering, and the meal offering of it, and

their drink offerings.

It was kept on the tenth day of the month Tisri, i.e.,

five days before the feast of Tabernacles, and lasted from sunset to sunset.

Atone

A. Verb.

kapar

(H3722),

"to cover over, atone, propitiate, pacify."

This root is found in the Hebrew language at all periods of its history, and

perhaps is best known from the term Yom Kippur, "Day of Atonement." Its

verbal forms occur approximately 100 times in the Hebrew Bible. Kapar is first

found in

Ber 6:14,

Make an ark of gopher wood. You shall make rooms in the ark, and shall cover

it inside and outside with pitch.

Ark: a box or chest that can float. The only other place the term is used in

Scripture is in reference to the box used to keep Moshah afloat on the Nile.

Ex. 2:3

When she could no longer hide him, she took a papyrus basket for him, and

coated it with tar and with pitch. She put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds

by the river’s bank.

"Cover" is the same as the word translated elsewhere as "atone", “redeem”, or

“ransom”.

Ex. 21:30; 30:2;

Page 11: Day of Atonement

If a ransom is laid on him, then he shall give for the redemption of his life

whatever is laid on him. Its length shall be a cubit, and its breadth a cubit. It

shall be square, and its height shall be two cubits. Its horns shall be of one

piece with it.

Num. 35:31

“‘Moreover you shall take no ransom for the life of a murderer who is guilty of

death; but he shall surely be put to death.

Prov. 21:18

The wicked is a ransom for the righteous; the treacherous for the upright.

YashaYahuw 43:3

For I am YaHuWaH your Aluahiym, the Qodesh-One of YISCHRaEL, your Savior.

[Anointed/Mashiyach] I have given Mitsrayim as your ransom, Kuwsh and Seba

in your place.

i.e., the price of a life, sometimes described in terms of YaHuWaH sacrificing

the wicked to preserve the righteous, which is exactly what He did here. The

sealant outside the ark kept the wrath of Aluahiym from touching those inside

it, just as the Mashiyach's shed blood "seals us for the Day of Redemption",

Ephesians 4:30

And do not grieve YaHuWaH Ruwach haQadosh by which you were sealed unto

the Day of Ransoming.

inside and outside with pitch. Has with his Ruwach inside and out

where it is used in its primary sense of "to cover over." Here YaHuWaH gives

Noah instructions concerning the ark, including, "Cover it inside and out with

pitch" (RSV).

(The KJV translates, "Pitch it within and without with pitch.")

Most uses of the word, however, involve the theological meaning of "covering

over," often with the blood of a sacrifice, in order to atone for some sin. It is

Page 12: Day of Atonement

not clear whether this means that the "covering over" hides the sin from

YaHuWaH sight or implies that the sin is wiped away in this process.

As might be expected, this word occurs more frequently in the Book of

Leviticus than in any other book, since Leviticus deals with the ritual sacrifices

that were made to atone for sin. For example,

Lev_4:13-21

“‘If the whole congregation of YISCHRaEL sins, and the thing is hidden from the

eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which YaHuWaH

has commanded not to be done, and are guilty; when the sin in which they

have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin

offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting. The elders of the

congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before YaHuWaH;

and the bull shall be killed before YaHuWaH. The anointed priest shall bring of

the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting: and the priest shall dip his finger

in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before YaHuWaH, before the veil. He

shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before YaHuWaH

that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the

base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar. Thus shall he do with

the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and

the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be released. He shall

carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It

is the sin offering for the assembly.

Gives instructions for bringing a young bull to the tent of meeting for a sin

offering. After the elders laid their hands on the bull (to transfer the people's

sin to the bull), the bull was killed. The priest then brought some of the blood

of the bull into the tent of meeting and sprinkled it seven times before the veil.

Some of the blood was put on the horns of the altar and the rest of the blood

was poured at the base of the altar of burnt offering. The fat of the bull was

then burned on the altar. The bull itself was to be burned outside the camp. By

means of this ritual,

Lev_4:20

Page 13: Day of Atonement

"the priest shall make an atonement [kapar] for them, and it shall be forgiven

them"

The term "atonement" is found at least 16 times in Leviticus 16, the great

chapter concerning the Day of Atonement. Before anything else, the high priest

had to "make atonement" for himself and his house by offering a bull as a sin

offering. After lots were cast upon the two goats, one was sent away into the

wilderness as an atonement

Lev_16:10

But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive

before YaHuWaH, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the

scapegoat into the wilderness.

while the other was sacrificed and its blood sprinkled on the mercy seat as an

atonement for the people

Lev_16:15-20

“Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring

his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the

bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat: and he shall

make atonement for the Set-apart Place, because of the uncleanness of the

children of YISCHRaEL, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins;

and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst

of their uncleanness. There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting when he

enters to make atonement in the Set-apart Place, until he comes out, and has

made atonement for himself and for his household, and for all the assembly of

YISCHRaEL. “He shall go out to the altar that is before YaHuWaH and make

atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull’s blood, and some of the

goat’s blood, and put it around on the horns of the altar. He shall sprinkle some

of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it Set-

apart from the uncleanness of the children of YISCHRaEL.

“When he has made an end of atoning for the Set-apart Place, the Tent of

Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

Page 14: Day of Atonement

The Day of Atonement was celebrated only once a year. Only on this day could

the high priest enter the Sacred of Sacredness of the tabernacle or temple on

behalf of the people of Israel and make atonement for them.

Sometimes atonement for sin was made apart from or without blood offerings.

During his vision-call experience, Isaiah's lips were touched with a coal of fire

taken from the altar by one of the seraphim. With that, he was told,

"Thy sin is purged [kapar]"

Isa_6:7

He touched my mouth with it, and said, “Behold, this has touched your lips; so

your guilt is averted, and a covering has been effected over your sin."

The English versions translate the word variously as "purged" (KJV, JB);

"forgiven" (RSV, NASB, TEV); and "wiped away" (NEB). In another passage,

Scripture says that the guilt or iniquity of Israel would be "purged" (KJV, NEB)

by the destruction of the implements of idolatrous worship

Isa_27:9

Therefore, this is how the crookedness of Ya'aqob shall be covered, and this is

all the fruit of taking away his sin: when he makes all the stones of the altar as

chalk stones that are beaten to dust -- the ashërâh and the sun-pillars shall rise

no more.

In this case, the RSV renders kapar as "expiated," while the NASB and TEV

translate it as

"forgiven."

B. Noun.

kapporet

(H3727),

"mercy seat; throne of mercy."

This noun form of kapar has been variously interpreted by the English versions

as "mercy seat" (KJV, RSV); "cover" (NEB); "lid" (TEV); "throne of mercy" (JB);

and "throne" (Knox). It refers to a slab of gold that rested on top of the

Page 15: Day of Atonement

Ark of the Covenant.

Images of two cherubim’s stood on this slab, facing each other. This slab of

gold represented the throne of YaHuWaH and symbolized His real presence in

the worship shrine. On the Day of Atonement, the high priest sprinkled the

blood of the sin offering on it, apparently symbolizing the blood's reception by

YaHuWaH. Thus the kapporet was the central point at which Israel, through its

high priest, could come into the presence of YaHuWaH.

This is further seen in the fact that the temple proper was distinguished from

its porches and other accompanying structures by the name

"place of the mercy seat

(kapporet)"

1Ch_28:11

Then Dawiyd gave to Shelomoh his son the pattern of the porch of the temple,

and of its houses, and of its treasuries, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the

inner chambers of it, and of the place of the mercy seat;

The Septuagint refers to the mercy seat as a "propitiary" (hilasteirion).

Atonement

katallage

(G2643)

, translated "

atonement"

in the KJV of

Rom 5:11,

signifies, not "atonement," but "reconciliation," as in the RV.

Page 16: Day of Atonement

Rom 11:15;

2Co 5:18-19.

So with the corresponding verb katallasso, see under RECONCILE. "Atonement"

(the explanation of this English word as being "at-onement" is entirely fanciful)

is frequently found in the OT. See, for instance, Leviticus, chapters 16 and 17.

The corresponding NT words are

hilasmos,

"propitiation,"

1 Jo 2:2;

And He Himself is the propitiation (Compensator) for our sins, and not for ours

only, but also for the whole world.

1 Jo 4:10,

In this is love, not that we loved YaHuWaH, but that He loved us, and sent His

Son a propitiation [Compensation] for our sin

And

hilasterion,

Rom_3:25;

Whom YaHuWaH set forth as an atonement, for an evident sign of His

deliverance through belief in His blood, thereby Passing-Over the sins that had

taken place beforehand, and in YaHuWaH’s forbearance

Heb_9:5

They serve in a place of worship that is only a copy, a shadow of the real one in

heaven. For when Moshah was getting ready to build the Tabernacle,

YaHuWaH gave him this warning: "Be sure that you make everything according

to the pattern I have shown you here on the mountain."

mercy-seat,"

the covering of the ark of the covenant.

Page 17: Day of Atonement

These describe the means (in and through the person and work of the Lord

Jesus Christ, in His death on the cross by the shedding of His blood in His

vicarious sacrifice for sin) by which YaHuWaH shows mercy to sinners.

Propitiation

A. Verb.

Hilaskomai

(G2433)

was used amongst the Greeks with the significance "to make the YaHuWaHs

propitious, to appease, propitiate," inasmuch as their good will was not

conceived as their natural attitude, but something to be earned first. This use

of the word is foreign to the Greek Bible, with respect to YaHuWaH whether in

the Sept. or in the NT. It is never used of any act whereby man brings YaHuWaH

into a favorable attitude or gracious disposition. It is YaHuWaH who is

"propitiated" by the vindication of His holy and righteous character, whereby

through the provision He has made in the vicarious and expiatory sacrifice of

Christ, He has so dealt with sin that He can show mercy to the believing sinner

in the removal of his guilt and the remission of his sins.

Luk 18:13

it signifies "to be propitious" or "merciful to" (with the person as the object of

the verb), and in

Heb 2:17

"to expiate, to make propitiation for" (the object of the verb being sins); here

the RV,"to make propitiation" is an important correction of the KJV "to make

reconciliation." Through the "propitiatory" sacrifice of Christ, he who believes

upon Him is by YaHuWaH's own act delivered from justly deserved wrath, and

comes under the covenant of grace. Never is YaHuWaH said to be reconciled, a

fact itself indicative that the enmity exists on man's part alone, and that it is

man who needs to be reconciled to YaHuWaH, and not YaHuWaH to man.

YaHuWaH is always the same and, since He is Himself immutable, His relative

attitude does change towards those who change. He can act differently

Page 18: Day of Atonement

towards those who come to Him by faith, and solely on the ground of the

"propitiatory" sacrifice of Christ, not because He has changed, but because He

ever acts according to His unchanging righteousness.

The expiatory work of the Cross is therefore the means whereby the barrier

which sin interposes between YaHuWaH and man is broken down. By the giving

up of His sinless life sacrificially,YaHuWShuWaHannuls the power of sin to

separate between YaHuWaH and the believer.

In the OT the Hebrew verb kaphar is connected with kopher, "a covering" (see

MERCY SEAT), and is used in connection with the burnt offering, e.g.

the guilt offering, e.g.,

the sin offering, e.g.,

the sin offering and burnt offering together, e.g.,

the meal offering and peace offering, e.g.,

as well as in other respects. It is used of the ram offered at the consecration of

the high priest,

Exo_29:33,

and of the blood which YaHuWaH gave upon the altar to make "propitiation"

for the souls of the people, and that because "the life of the flesh is in the

blood,

" Lev_17:11,

and "it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life" (RV). Man has

forfeited his life on account of sin and YaHuWaH has provided the one and only

way whereby eternal life could be bestowed, namely, by the voluntary laying

down of His life by His Son, under divine retribution. Of this the former

sacrifices appointed by YaHuWaH were foreshadowings.

Elsewhere in the NT it occurs in Rom_3:25,

where it is used of YaHuWShuWaH Himself; the RV text and punctuation in this

verse are important: "whom YaHuWaH set forth to be a propitiation, through

Page 19: Day of Atonement

faith, by His blood." The phrase "by His blood" is to be taken in immediate

connection with "propitiation." YaHuWShuWaH, through His expiatory death, is

the personal means by whom YaHuWaH shows the mercy of His justifying grace

to the sinner who believes. His "blood" stands for the voluntary giving up of His

life, by the shedding of His blood in expiatory sacrifice under divine judgment

righteously due to us as sinners, faith being the sole condition on man's part.

Note: "By metonymy, 'blood' is sometimes put for 'death,' inasmuch as, blood

being essential to life,

Lev_17:11

, when the blood is shed life is given up, that is, death takes place. The

fundamental principle on which YaHuWaH deals with sinners is expressed in

the words 'apart from shedding of blood,' i.e., unless a death takes place, 'there

is no remission' of sins,

Heb_9:22.

"But whereas the essential of the type lay in the fact that blood was shed, the

essential of the antitype lies in this, that the blood shed was that of

YaHuWShuWaHHence, in connection with Jewish sacrifices, 'the blood' is

mentioned without reference to the victim from which it flowed, but in

connection with the great antitypical sacrifice of the NT the words 'the blood'

never stand alone; the One Who shed the blood is invariably specified, for it is

the Person that gives value to the work; the saving efficacy of the Death

depends entirely upon the fact that He Who died was the Son of YaHuWaH."*

* From Notes on Thessalonians by Hogg and Vine, p. 168.

Hilasmos

(G2434),

akin to hileos ("merciful, propitious"), signifies "an expiation, a means whereby

sin is covered and remitted." It is used in the NT of YaHuWShuWaH Himself as

"the propitiation,"

1Jo_2:2 and 1Jo_4:10,

Page 20: Day of Atonement

signifying that He Himself, through the expiatory sacrifice of His death, is the

personal means by whom YaHuWaH shows mercy to the sinner who believes

onYaHuWShuWaHas the One thus provided. In the former passage He is

described as "the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for

the whole world." The italicized addition in the KJV, "the sins of," gives a wrong

interpretation. What is indicated is that provision is made for the whole world,

so that no one is, by divine predetermination, excluded from the scope of

YaHuWaH's mercy; the efficacy of the "propitiation," however, is made actual

for those who believe. In 1Jo_4:10,

the fact that YaHuWaH "sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins," is

shown to be the great expression of YaHuWaH's love toward man, and the

reason why Nätzräya should love one another.

'YHWH be with you.' and they answered him, 'YHWH bless you.' "

Be not blind to the truth

And, hinnei, two blind men sitting by the way side, when they heard that

YaHuWSCHuA passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O YHWH,

[thou] Ben David. An YaHuWSCHuA stood still, and called them, and said,

what will ye that I shall do unto you They say unto Him, YHWH, that our eyes

may be opened. So YaHuWSCHuA had compassion [on them], and touched

their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.

Remember me and pray for me that YaHuWaH will be gracious unto me and be

merciful unto my sins which I have sinned against him. Peace be to them that

read and that hear these things and to their servants:

Amein and Amein

Freely ye have received, freely give

A rule necessary, and of great extent. A servant in the Gospel Vineyard, though

worthy of his Comfortable support while in the work. Should never preach for

hire, or make a secular traffic of the Ruwach (spiritual work): what a scandal is

it for a man to traffic with gifts which he pretends, at least, to have received

from the Ruwach HaQodesh, of which he is not the master, but the dispenser. He

who preaches to get a living, or make a fortune, is guilty of the most infamous

sacrilege
