Leviticus 23:26-32

The Pulpit Commentary on Leviticus 23:26-32

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The Feast of Expiation.

This great occasion, the ceremonies of which are more particularly described in , was to be—

I. A HOLY CONVOCATION, IN WHICH THE PEOPLE WERE TO AFFLICT THEIR SOULS. Learn hence:

1. That sin must be mourned.

2. The mourning must be thorough.

3. The soul is to be afflicted because of the atonement.

II. THIS HOLY CONVOCATION WAS ON THE TENTH DAY OF THE SEVENTH MONTH.

1. This was to suggest the riches of redemption.

2. The association of the tenth day with the seventh month also is suggestive.
