Offerings for the Day of Atonement
“And ye shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy convocation; and ye shall afflict your souls: ye shall not do any work therein:”
Numbers 29:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Numbers 29:7
The Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) required afflicting souls (Hebrew 'anah nephesh'), understood as fasting and repentance. This tenth day of the seventh month was Israel's most solemn day - the only fast commanded by Mosaic law. On this day alone, the high priest entered the Holy of Holies with atoning blood (Lev 16). This foreshadows Christ's once-for-all entrance into heaven's sanctuary with His own blood (Heb 9:12, 24-26). The 'afflicting' of souls represents the broken and contrite heart God desires (Ps 51:17), acknowledging sinfulness and desperate need for divine atonement.
