Atonement Day - Leviticus 16 Poem

More about Atonement Day - Leviticus 16 Poem

In Leviticus, a day of great weight,
A solemn time to expiate,
Atonement Day, with rituals grand,
For sins of Israel, a sacred stand.
A chosen goat, the scapegoat's role,
To carry sins, a burdened soul,
Released to wander, far and wide,
Symbolic act, to set sins aside.
The high priest, with blood and smoke,
Enters the holiest, a sacred evoke,
To cleanse the altar, the ark, and all,
Atoning for sins, both great and small.
A day of fasting, a day of awe,
In Leviticus, God's righteous law,
A chance to seek forgiveness true,
A fresh start, for the chosen few.
So, let us learn from Leviticus' lore,
Atonement Day, a lesson to explore,
To seek forgiveness, with contrite heart,
And from our sins, let us depart.
