month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a

all your sins before YAHUAH.

his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, even the set-apart
garments: 33 And he shall make an atonement for the set-apart sanctuary, and he shall make an
atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for
the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.

2 Chronicles 6:
36 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry
with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives
unto a land far off or near;37 Yet if they bethink themselves in the land whither they are
carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We
have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
38 If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their
captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which
thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward
the house which I have built for thy name:
39 Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and
their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have
sinned against thee.
40 Now, my Alahym, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent
unto the prayer that is made in this place.6:41 Now therefore arise, O YAHUAH Alahym,
into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O YAHUAH
Alahym, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.6:42 O
YAHUAH Alahym, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of
David thy servant.

Why did killing an animal make atonement for the forgiveness of our
sins?
Read Lev. 27:10-14, Yahuah gave the blood of clean animals (which he does specify for certain
sins) as a substitute for our blood because if you sin certain sins (excluding murder, adultery
etc…) blood must be shed. In place of your blood is the blood of an animal. This is why Yahuah
commanded the Israelites not to eat blood.
