Because God commanded it (Leviticus ch.16). It was an act of atonement (ibid).
The high priest could only enter the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement.
There hasn't been a temple in Jerusalem for 1932 years. When it did exist and was the central focus of the Jewish religion and culture, the single individual to ever enter the Holy of Holies was the Kohen Gadol ("high priest"), and he did so exactly one time in the year ... as a part of the service on Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement).
Solomon's Temple contained the Ark of the Covenant and its contents in the Holy of holies. The high Priest only entered the place once a year on the Day of Atonement.
When not officiating the High Priest wore a coat, breeches, girdle, and a cap. When officiating he wore a breastplate, the ephod, the girdle (this one bound the ephod to the body), the miter (this replaced the cap, underneath these he wore his breeches and coat).
Are you asking what is the ritual of the Ancient Temple for Day of Atonement and what does this achieve for the individual Israelite? The new Encyclopedia Judaica has the following description of the High Priest on YK: The ritual in the Temple on the Day of Atonement was based on Leviticus 16, and is described in detail in Mishnah Yoma (chs. 1--7) and in the Talmudic tractate of that name.
When He died on the cross, He offered himself to the Father in atonement for all the sins of mankind.
Originally a reference to the Most Holy Place of the Jewish Temple where was the immediate presence of God. Only the High Priest cd enter, one time a year on the day of atonement after elaborate cleansing rituals
Yes
from the beginning God has required a blood sacrifice for atonement. Leviticus 17:11 clearly states, for the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul. Our new life is found only in the blood of Jesus, which was poured out for us. when we believed in the atoning work of calvary, we receive a transfusion of the life of Jesus Christ.---- by 123Answer:It hasn't been accomplished, yet.If you read about the Day of Atonement described in Leviticus 16... you'll notice that following the sacrifice of the lamb [which pictures Christ's sacrifice]... the high priest [who now represents the "risen Christ"] goes into the Most Holy Place in the Tabernacle with that blood, where the Ark of the Covenant was [which pictures the risen Christ, our High Priest - Heb.4:14; who has GONE TO HEAVEN to the throne of the Father to intercede on our behalf for our sins].THEN -- the high priest COMES BACK out from the Most Holy Place [picturing Jesus returning to the earth and the people of the earth].THEN -- the high priest lays his hands on the head of the "azazel" goat [scapegoat, as some say]... and confesses all the sins of the people upon its head. And the "azazel" goat is removed from the presence of the people.THIS is the completion of the "atonement."Jesus Christ, our High Priest who has ascended to the Father's throne in heaven has not yet returned to "complete the atonement."The annual Holy Day, the Day of Atonement, is a prophecy, like the rest of God's annual Sabbaths that picture to us His plan.This prophecy reveals Jesus returning to earth with the Kingdom of God, and laying all the sins of the world [that He has borne for us] upon the head of he whose sins they truly are -- SATAN THE DEVIL.Notice, the 19th chapter of Revelation, which pictures Jesus' return from heaven [the Most Holy Place]. At the beginning of the 20th chapter, Satan [pictured by the "azazel" goat] is bound and removed for a thousand years from influencing the nations of the world [as pictured by the Day of Atonement proceedings].THIS will be the final atonement... when Jesus rids Himself of the sins of the world that He has borne for us, and PLACES THEM ON SATAN'S HEAD where they truly belong.Until then... Jesus has not yet returned... Satan is still running free... and this Satan-guided world and the deceived nations on it are still wallowing in the sins of its god.
A vestment worn by ancient Hebrew priests.It is something the Jewish High Priest wore when going into the Holy of Holies in the Temple of the Lord.There is an occasion that the High Priest was wearing the Ephod to inquire of the Lord for King David.
they would tie a rope around his wast so if he dies in the Temple they can pull him out In the Second Temple period, some people who were unfit took the position of High Priest. When they entered the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur, they died, since they lacked the ability to handle the spiritual power of that place. The other priests had to devise a plan to pull the dead body out, since no one other than the High Priest was allowed to enter in the Holy of Holies. So they tied a golden rope to the High Priest's leg when he entered the Holy of Holies on Yom Kippur. Those waiting outside the Holy of Holies would listen for the bells on the bottom of the High Priest's robe, to see if he was still alive.
