Among the most important sacrifices required by the Law were those offered on the annual Day of Atonement. On that day, the high priest carried out a series of symbolic actions.
كَانَتِ ٱلذَّبَائِحُ ٱلَّتِي تُقَرَّبُ فِي يَوْمِ ٱلْكَفَّارَةِ ٱلسَّنَوِيِّ مِنْ أَهَمِّ ٱلذَّبَائِحِ ٱلَّتِي نَصَّتْ عَلَيْهَا ٱلشَّرِيعَةُ .‏
