YOM KIPPUR: THE DAY OF ATONEMENT

The Hebrew word for atonement, “Kippur” is the Strong’s number <3725>. The Hebrew word “Kippur” comes from the Hebrew root word “Kaphar” (Strong’s number <3722>) which means, “to cover, purge, make atonement, make reconciliation, forgive, appease, pacify, or pardon.”

Yom Kippur is the designated day in the Bible for the God of Israel to forgive His people from their sins.
