Day of AtonementThis was a Jewish festival that took place somewhere between September and October. The High Priest would offer sacrifice to atone for the nation's sin. The word atone can be described as reconciliation, penitence, compensation, making amends, recompense; the removal or forgiveness of sin through a sacrifice, resulting in our acceptance before God (Ex 30:10; Lev 23:26-31; Num 29:7-11). The Jewish people call this day "Yom Kippur".
