(b) Of reconciliation, not merely of inen together or among themselves, but of God to men, and men to God. "And like as he made the Jewes and the Gentiles at one betwene themselues, even so he made them both at one with God, that there should be nothing to breake the atonement , but that the thinges in heaven and the thynges in earth should be ioyned together as it were into one body." - Udal: Ephes ., chap. ii. (Richardson) 2. Expiation of a sin against God, or of a crime or offence against man or anything similar. [B., I. 1.] "Great as Sawyer's offences were, he had made great atonement for them."- Macaulay : Hist. Eng . , ch. xv. B. Technically : I. Scripture : 1. Old Test.: In the authorised version of the Old Testament the word atonement occurs not le than fifty-eight times in the text, and once in the margin; all but five of the places in which it is found being in the Pent a teuch. It signifies (1) Expiation of sin by means of a typical sacrifice, generally of a victim, offered in faith. "For the life of the flesh is in the blood and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an a onement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul."- Lev . xvii. 11. "And one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, to make an atonement for you."- Numb . xxix. 5. (See also Lev. 1. 4; iv. 35; 1. 17; xvi. 10, 33, 34; Numb. viii. 21; xvi. 46; XXV. 13; 2 Sam. xxi. 3; 2 Chron. xxix. 24, .) (2) The removal, by a sacrificial offering, of ceremonial impurity (Lev. xii. 7, 8). In this sense the term was sometimes used of inanimate things-namely, of the altar (Exod. xxix. 36, 37; Lev. xvi. 18); of a house infected with the "leprosy" (xiv. 53); of the holy place, on account of the sins of the worshippers (xvi. 16); of the holy of holies (ver. 33); of the tabernacle of the congregation ( ibid . ); and of the work of the Temple (Neh. x. 33). (3) Ransom. Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom [margin, atonement]." Job xxxiii. 24. (4) In one place atonement is used for what was, in its e ential features, a thank-offering (Numb. xxx i. 50). (a) Atonement money: Money paid for purposes of atonement. "And thou shalt take the atonement-money of the children of Israel."- Ezod . XIX. 16. (b) The Day of Atonement or the Great Day of Atonement was on the tenth of the seventh month. (For details regarding it, see Lev. xxiii. 26-32; xxv.. 2. New Test. In the New Testament the word occurs only once-viz., in Rom. v. 11: "And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement " (in the margin, reconciliation). The Greek word is καταλλαγήν ( kat all agen ) = (1) the exchange of one thing for another, as, for instance, money for an article; (2) a change from enmity to friendship; reconciliation; from καταλλάσσω ( katal la o ) = (1) to change money; (2) to change a person from enmity to friendship; to reconcile. The marginal rendering is evidently correct. And in 2 Cor. v. 18, 19, the same Greek substantive is twice rendered "reconciliation," and the same Greek verb, also twice, "reconcile." [A., 1.] II. Theology: The sacrificial offering made by Christ in expiation of the sins, according to the Calvinists, of the elect only; according to the Arminians, of the whole human race.
