Usage: The term "kippur" primarily refers to the act of atonement, which involves the covering or cleansing of sin.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the Day of Atonement was the most sacred day of the year, as described in Leviticus 16. It was a time when the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies to offer sacrifices for the sins of the people. The rituals performed on this day symbolized the purification and reconciliation between God and His people. The concept of atonement is central to the sacrificial system established in the Torah, highlighting the need for a mediator and the shedding of blood for the forgiveness of sins.
