Earthly Sanctuary System Day of Atonement (Judgment Phase)Atonement Process

“And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest’s, as a meat offering.”

But if he be not able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense thereon: for it is a sin offering.

Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial thereof, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the Lord: it is a sin offering.

And the priest shall make an atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest’s, as a meat offering.

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

If a soul commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the Lord; then he shall bring for his trespass unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:

Day of Atonement (Judgment Phase)

This verse describes a general atonement for an individual's sin, with the priest receiving a portion of the offering, which is a common feature of various sin offerings throughout Leviticus. It does not mention Yom Kippur, a unique annual ceremony, sanctuary cleansing, or the scapegoat ritual, which are all central to the defined theme.

Atonement Process
