Strong's Lexicon kippur: Atonement Original Word: כִּפּוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּפַר (kaphar), meaning "to cover," "to atone," or "to make reconciliation." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2433 ἱλάσκομαι (hilaskomai) – to be propitious, to make reconciliation - G2643 καταλλαγή (katallagē) – reconciliation, restoration to favor Usage: The term "kippur" primarily refers to the act of atonement, which involves the covering or cleansing of sin. It is most commonly associated with the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur, a significant and solemn day in the Jewish calendar dedicated to repentance, fasting, and seeking forgiveness from God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the Day of Atonement was the most sacred day of the year, as described in Leviticus 16. It was a time when the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies to offer sacrifices for the sins of the people. The rituals performed on this day symbolized the purification and reconciliation between God and His people. The concept of atonement is central to the sacrificial system established in the Torah, highlighting the need for a mediator and the shedding of blood for the forgiveness of sins.
