In Jewish tradition

To make up for sin so that a person or a place becomes clean and right with God. In Leviticus the priest does it for the holy place, the tent and the altar on the Day of Atonement.

Interpretation. Atonement is at the heart of Yom Kippur. In Temple times the High Priest did it with offerings and the goat sent to the wilderness. Later tradition teaches that repentance, prayer and kind acts also atone.

Examples

And when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat. (Torah LEV.16.20, JPS 1917) tree →
