Day of Atonement
Seventh month Tishri (Ethanim)
October 10 (at evening, October 9 until evening, October 10)
October 10 (at evening, October 9 a righteous convocation)
An annual fast day of the Israelites. Ordained by YHWH in the torah instructions as a day to humble oneself and repentance of transgressions. A person abstains from food and drink from evening til evening.
Atonement for idolatry and disobedience against YHWH spans both Testaments, pointing to the substitutionary sacrifice of animals and then ultimately YHWH the Son offering his body in place of the wrath of YHWH.
