“And he shall make an atonement for the holy 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.”
And make atonement for the Most Holy Place, for the tent of meeting and the altar, and for the priests and all the members of the community. The comprehensive coverage of the Day of Atonement is stated in its final summary: the Most Holy Place, the tent of meeting, the altar, the priests, and all the members of the community. Every person and every sacred space is included in the Day of Atonement's scope. No part of the covenant community's life and worship is left outside the annual comprehensive atonement. The sweep of the coverage communicates the comprehensiveness of the sin problem and the comprehensiveness of God's provision for addressing it.
