## Resource

In Part 5 of Atonement Explained, we ask what “atonement” actually means in Scripture. Most people hear the word and think forgiveness, substitution, or Jesus dying in their place. But in the Torah, atonement language works very differently. This message explores kipper, ritual and moral impurity, the contamination of sacred space, and why blood functions as a purifier of the sanctuary rather than a symbol of divine violence. This is a crucial foundation for understanding sacrifice, Yom Kippur, and eventually Yeshua with greater clarity.
