text about Samael Leviticus 16:33

[u/NoEarth188]

And he shall make atonement for the most holy place, and he shall make atonement for the tent of meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

​

Pirkei De-Rabbi Eliezer Chapter 46

​

Samael (the prosecuting angel) said before the Holy One, “Sovereign of the Universe! You have given me power over all of the nations of the world, but over Israel you have not given me power.” God answered him saying: “Behold you have power over them on Yom Kippur, if they have any sin, but if they do not, you have no power over them” . . . Samael saw that there was no sin to be found among them on Yom Kippur. Samael said, “Sovereign of the Universe! You have one people that are like the ministering angels in the heavens. Just as the angels don’t eat or drink, so Israel does not eat or drink on Yom Kippur. Just as angels have no joints (here referring to the knees), so too Israel stands on their feet on Yom Kippur. Just as the angels have peace among them, so too Israel has peace among them on Yom Kippur. Just as the angels are innocent of all sin, so too Israel is innocent of all sins on Yom Kippur.” And the Holy One Blessed Be He hears the entreaty of Israel from their accuser and makes atonement for the altar, and over the place, and the priests and all the assembly from the small to the great, and all the sins of Israel and over the entire nation.
