A one day observation that the Bible commands of the children of the nation of Israel. A fast, no food and no water. Also no servile work is to be done on this day. Shalawam.
Holy Day of Atonement
Purpose:
A day of self examination. A day to atone for our sins. Ancient Israel would make sacrifices to the Most High of unblemished rams, bullocks and lambs.
Leviticus 23:26-32
- 26 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
- 27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
- 28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
- 29 For Whatsoever Soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
- 30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
- 31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
- 32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
How to observe it:
It is a holy worldwide convocation. No food and no water – a fast. Also no servile work.
How Christ fulfilled this day:
We are no longer required to make an animal sacrifice on this day because Christ blood was shed for us when he was crucified. He entered the heavenly tabernacle in order to complete the offering.
