The irony - yes it is - the ALLEGED 'DAY' - of - Atonement. But 'DAY' - of - Atonement is not what is written.
Here in Leviticus 23 where ‘etsem yom’ occurs 3 times, the KJV simply translates it ‘the same day’ / ‘that same day’, the same as the Septuagint in all 17 cases of ‘etsem yom’. WHY? Because “the tenth day of the Seventh Month” was an ordinary, ‘day-of-the-week’ scheduled for HUMAN WORK, even appointed for the extraordinary and utter SOUL’S effort at atonement and peace. But the Effort, instead of being called “Your-Cessation-at-Atonement” (three times!), the Day was wrongly called ‘The Day-of-Atonement’-‘Yom Kippur’.

This is the standard, self-created, but in every respect irrelevant and ethereal 'argument' to understand, or to prove, or to describe, <what is needed when reading the Bible...> SO THAT <the feasts of Yahweh being Passover, Unleavened bread (the 1st and last day of this week), Shavuot (Feast of Weeks) also known as Pentecost, Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah), Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) and the Sukkot (The Feast of Tabernacles) which has 3 Sabbaths being the 1st day the 8th day and because of the 8 day period there will be the weekly Sabbath within that 8 day period...> so that <...(t)hese feasts of Yahweh (not Jewish) read Lev 23:2 are Sabbaths and Lev 23 points this out by saying that these days are Sabbaths not meaning the weekly Sabbath but again could fall on the same day as the weekly sabbath but they don't more often than not.>One must realize that our Bibles were written on a different calendar than our modern Gregorian calendar bought in by Pope Gregory with it being only around 300 yrs old. Before that was the Julian calendar then the Hebrew calendar. The Hebrew calendar is what is needed when reading the Bible.
it - the first day of the seventh month - is also known as the fast as they afflicted themselves on that day by fasting. This is referred to by Paul in Acts 27:9.
A joke in bad taste! Yom Kippur is about nothing but EATING AND DRINKING! Just check the internet.known as the fast as they afflicted themselves on that day by fasting. This is referred to by Paul in Acts 27:9.
Basic mistake: It is NOT <assumed in the original posts that the first day of the seventh month was the weekly Sabbath>, it is unambiguously INSTRUCTED BY THE ORIGINATOR OF THE SCRIPTURE.It is assumed in the original posts that the first day of the seventh month was the weekly Sabbath.
The feast of Yahweh in Leviticus 23 are known as High Sabbath days.
What do you mean by <atonement>? Because the "at-one-ment" attempted on the 10th day of the Seventh Month was SPIRITUAL NOT SACRIFICIAL "affliction of SOUL" NOT of blood, and attempted for "making / working / attaining RECONCILIATION" between the ORDERLY TO TRIBE ASSEMBLED TOGETHER CHILDREN OF ISRAEL tribe by tribe, for exactly 24 hours duration "from sunsetting the 9th to sunsetting the 10th day of the Seventh Month". A matter of LITERALLY SOCIOLOGICAL AND PSYCOLOGICAL NATIONAL interaction and relation, most strenuous human effort, fruitless and useless for the purpose of forgiveness of sin and sinfulness against or in relation to the Almighty GOD personally. That's why the 10th day in the Seventh Month always fell on the Second Day of the week so that it never could be confused with the Sabbath or Sabbaths of Yahweh the Seventh Day of the week. But the Jews knew better than the LORD of the Sabbath of course.Yom Kippurim (Day of Atonements) as there were more than one atonement taking place.
The OT Holy Books only contain <the Hebrew Calendar> which is "ruled" not according to the years or seasons or months or days but according to GOD through his creating and eternal 'salvific calendar' "through the Son in these last days". The vista one gets through the Bible over whole the creation and history, begins at and stretches from the Most Holy Presence of God in Full Fellowship of Father, Son and Holy Spirit in the temple of Christ's Resurrection grave.Known as the holiest day in the Hebrew Calendar
Called a Sabbath Sabaton, no work is to be done.
Lev. 23:28-32 NKJ
28 "And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 "For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people.
30 "And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.
31 "You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 "It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath."
When is no work done? On Sabbath days both weekly and Yahweh's feast days.
