Commentary

Also on the tenth day of this seventh month,.... Tisri, the same as before, answering to part of our September, and part of October: there shall be a day of atonement; for all the sins of the year past; see Lev 16:29 , it shall be an holy convocation unto you: when they should be called together for the exercise of holy duties: and ye shall afflict your souls; their souls, by repentance, contrition, and humiliation for sin, and their bodies by fasting; and, as the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it,"by abstaining from eating and drinking, and the advantage of bathing and wiping, and the use of the bed and sandals;''hence called the fast, Act 27:9 ; See Gill on Lev 16:29 , and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord; a burnt offering, of which see Num 29:8 .
