Some Explaining

Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur

And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness. And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy place, and shall leave them there: And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people. And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar. And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp. And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp. And this shall be a statute for ever unto you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you: For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.-Leviticus 16:21-33***Aaron and his brother Moses were Israelites from the tribe of Levi, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. When Moses was 80 years old and living in Midian, and the Israelites were enslaved in Egypt, the Lord God spoke to Moses and told Moses to lead the Israelites, with Aaron, away from Egypt to Canaan, the land of milk and honey that the Lord God promised to give to Abraham (Abram the Hebrew), and to Abraham's son Isaac, and to Isaac's youngest fraternal twin son Jacob (Israel), and to their descendants. Months after leaving Egypt, and crossing the divinely parted Red Sea, and entering the desert wilderness of Shur, Moses, Aaron, their fellow Israelites, and those with them, were in the desert wilderness of Sinai in the region of Mount Sinai. The Israelites heard the voice of Lord God proclaim the Ten Commandments to them, and the Lord God began giving Moses judgments, statutes and laws for the Israelites. When Moses was with the Lord God upon Mount Sinai for 40 days and nights, the Lord God told Moses that only Aaron and Aaron's sons and the sons born to their descendants were to serve the Lord God as priests. After the Israelites brought their offerings and made the tabernacle and sacred items according to the commands that the Lord God described and showed to Moses, and before the Israelites left the region of Mount Sinai, the Lord God gave Moses commands for the Day of Atonement. The Lord God specified the 10th day of the 7th month, according to the Hebrew calendar, to be the Day of Atonement. The high priest was to bathe and then dress himself in holy linen garments. Next, the priest was to follow procedures that involved 1 young bull, 2 rams, and 2 he-goats. One of the goats, the scapegoat, was to be slaughtered for the sin offering and the other goat was to be sent, accompanied by an Israelite man, into the desert wilderness after the sins of the Israelites had been put upon the goat's head. During the 40th year of their journey to Canaan, the Promised Land, Aaron died and was buried upon Mount Hor, and Moses went upon Mount Nebo. The Lord God showed Moses the Promised Land, and Moses died and was divinely buried. Joshua, Moses' successor, led the Israelites across the divinely parted Jordan River and onto the Promised Land. Over 1,300 years after Joshua died and was buried in his tribe's portion of the Promised Land, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin. Less than 33 1/2 years after Jesus was born to Joseph and Mary, Jesus was betrayed, arrested, crucified, buried in a tomb, resurrected, seen by many people, and returned to heaven. Several years thereafter, the apostle Paul (Saul) was divinely inspired to write of the atonement received through Jesus the Christ.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Leviticus 1:1-10:20, 16:1-23:44, Numbers 3:1-51, 8:1-26, 20:1-29, 27:12-23, 29:7-11, Deuteronomy 31:1-30, 32:44-52, 34:1-12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 1 Chronicles 1:1-34, 2:1-17, 3:1-24, 6:1-81, 7:20-29, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26, 6:1-84, 9:1-31, 11:19-28:31, Romans 5:1-21, Hebrews 8:1-10:39

Reference Scriptures:
And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon of shittim wood shalt thou make it.-Exodus 30:1...And Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonements: once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the LORD.-Exodus 30:10
