Today’s word is reconciliation.

Leviticus 8:15 And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.

The first word use is the Hebrew word kaphar which means literally to cover over or coat with pitch. Pitch in this case is a tar like substance which over time wears off. Those things hidden are once again seen and in a year’s time it must be done again.

2 Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;

This is the New Testament first use of reconciliation which comes from the Greek word katallagē which means exchange.

In this exchange Christ gave His life for ours. This exchange is permanent and irreversible.

Hebrews 10:9-12 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second. By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Colossians 1:21-22 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

The Greek word for unreproveable is anegklētos which means unaccused. Charges for your sins will not be brought against you in the court of heaven.
