Atonement

An atonement is thought to be the reparation for an offense or injury : satisfaction.

In the Bible we see the Hebrew word for atonement is Kaphar (כָּפַר).^[1] ‎The same letters also produce the word village (כָּפַר).^[2] and the word ransom kopher (כָּפַר).^[3]

Understanding the social welfare role of the priest including the Levites is essential in understanding the purpose nature of the sacrifices of the people.

Exodus 30:16 "And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an atonement for your souls."
