What is atonement made for in Leviticus 16:16 and 18-19 and why?

Answer From The Annual Reading Schedule - Week 27 Notes For Leviticus: The Set-Apart Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the Altar. The Set-Apart Place "because of their transgressions in all their sins", the Tent of Meeting and Altar because of "the uncleanness of the children of Yisra'el". It is interesting to see that not only do people need atonement made for them, but objects used in Set-Apart services to Yahweh are having atonement made for them also because of sins and/or uncleanness of the people near the objects. This shows just how Set-Apart (Qodesh) Yahweh truly is! It is amazing how loving He is that He will dwell with us.
