Leviticus 16:17

And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.
15

Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:

16

And he shall make an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

17

And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.

18

And he shall go out unto the altar that is before the Lord, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about.

19

And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Earthly Sanctuary System

The verse describes a specific ritual performed by a single individual, and while it mentions a "tabernacle" and "holy place," it doesn't explicitly detail the broader structure of the sanctuary system, the sacrificial system, or the Levitical priesthood.

Atonement Process

This verse primarily describes a procedural requirement for the high priest's solitude during a specific ritual, rather than detailing the mechanics of atonement itself.

Day of Atonement (Judgment Phase)

The verse describes a specific ritual within the tabernacle and does not explicitly mention "Yom Kippur," "judgment," or "final removal of sin," which are components of the theme definition.
