The Day of Atonement and the Cross Why Yom Kippur Was the Shadow of Calvary

On the tenth day of Tishrei, in ancient Israel, one man performed a ritual that no one else was permitted to do and the entire nation depended on his return alive. This is Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, described in Leviticus 16. And to early Christian readers including the author of the Epistle of Barnabas writing around 100 AD it was the most detailed shadow of the cross in the entire Old Testament. Hebrew and Greek vocabulary covered: Yom Kippur (יוֹם כִּפֻּר), kapporet (כַּפֹּרֶת), parokhet (פָּרֹכֶת), Azazel (עֲזָאזֵל), hilastērion (ἱλαστήριον), ephapax (ἐφάπαξ), tetelestai.
