Commentary on Leviticus 16:30

Theological / Devotional

That ye may be clean. This day being the Day of Atonement, it was necessary for each soul to cooperate in the work of cleansing. The priest could make atonement only as Israel confessed their sins and called upon God for help. The sins for which the high priest made atonement were the confessed sins only, the sins for which the penitent had brought offerings during the year. This day provided the annual opportunity, in type, to have sins blotted out forever; it was the accepted time.
