Aaron Altar Atonement Candlestick Incense Jewish Jews Judaism Kippur Pray Prayer Priest Prophet Worship Holiest Shewbread
EDITORS COMMENTS
Aaron, the revered prophet, high priest, and brother of Moses, is depicted in this engraving as he enters the Holy Place on the solemn and auspicious Day of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur. This day, considered the holiest in Judaism, is marked by intensive prayer, a 25-hour fasting period, and a profound focus on atonement and repentance. As Aaron steps into the Holy Place, he carries with him the essential symbols of Jewish worship: the candlestick, the altar of incense, and the table of shewbread. The candlestick, or menorah, represents the continuous presence of God and the light of divine guidance. The altar of incense, where aromatic offerings were burned, symbolizes the connection between earthly and heavenly realms. Lastly, the table of shewbread, adorned with twelve loaves of bread, represents the covenant between God and the Israelites, as well as their communal commitment to upholding God's commandments. Aaron's entry into the Holy Place on this day signified the forgiveness of sins and the renewal of the covenant between God and the Jewish people. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder of the deep spiritual significance of the Day of Atonement and the enduring importance of prayer, repentance, and the connection to the divine.
