"Our God and God of our fathers, pardon our in-
iquities on this Atonement Day. Efface our trans-
gressions and our sins, and make them pass away
from before Thine eyes; as it is written in Scripture,
'I, even I, am He that effaceth thy transgressions
for Mine own sake.' I have blotted out as a cloud
thy transgressions, and, as a mist, thy sins: return
unto Me for I have redeemed thee.' For on this
day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse
you; from all your sins shall ye be clean before
the Lord."
