| Leviticus 23:26-32 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying: 27 Mark, the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of Atonement. It shall be a sacred occasion for you: you shall practice self denial, and you shall bring an offering by fire to the LORD; 28 you shall do no work throughout the day. For it is a Day of Atonement, on which expiation is made on your behalf before the Lord your God. 29 Indeed, any person who does not practice self - denial throughout that day shall be cut off from his kin. 30 and whosoever does any work throughout that day, I will cause that person to perish from among his people. 31 Do no work whatever; it is a law for all time, throughout the ages in all your settlements. 32 It shall be a sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall practice self - denial; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall observe this your sabbath. |

Said Rabbi Eliezer:
"Repent one day
before your death."
His disciples asked
him, "Does a person
then know which day
he will die?" Said he
to them, "How much
more so should he
repent today..."
Talmud, Shabbat 153a

of Liadi..A common
misconception is that
teshuvah
("repentance") is
simply an antidote to
sin, and thus applies
only to sinners and
lowly people. In truth,
teshuvah is the soul's
return to and
restoration of its
original purity, and
applies to every soul
that has descended
into the human state..

Atonement or repentance first took on its biblical meaning when Moses plead
forgiveness to God at Sinai. Moses descended Sinai for the first time having being given the
Torah by God to find the golden calf being worshiped by the Israelites ( Ex 32: 1-20 ). The next
day Moses plead with the Lord to forgive them. He then went back up Sinai to have the
second set of tablets inscribed by God and returned 40 days and nights later. When he
returned for the ' second ' time it was on the 10 Tishrei, Yom Kippur the day of atonement.
The eternal day of forgiveness for our sins. Also a day of fasting. The 40 days prior to this
when moses was being taught the Torah before he descended, has now become a period of
" Teshuvah " or repentance as we approach Yom Kippur
When the Temple stood, the special service performed was by the Kohen Gadol. This is
when the High Priest would enter the Holy of Holies at certain times to carry out sacrificial
duties. Although this is the final day of repentance it is the day that Yeshua HaMashiach, the
Jewish Messiah will return some future year
This is known as the day of redemption. The scriptures or Torah identify this day, Yom Kippur
or the Day of Atonement as the day when the Shofar is sounded. However it seems to
specifically sounded as part of the fiftieth year Jubilee celebrations. Being Holy, as well as
keeping the Mo'eds (appointed times), morality eating and Torah study, also involves
cultivating and keeping the land as commanded in the scriptures
Self denial or fasting is not to punish but rather to elevate oneself to a higher heavenly realm.
The heavenly court or angels who are in a state constance, reside with God and do not have
the need for either food or drink. Fasting or denial on the appointed days such as this mean
that we deny ourselves in order to limit our normal bodily functions in order to bring oneself
closer to God. The passage above states that their is punishment of being cut off from his
people for not fasting. The punishment for working on that day is to be destroyed. Though not
death, being destroyed could mean different things
The priestly service and ordinances surrounding the Day of Atonement are read in the Torah

directly from the fields.
