the Greek word _hilasterion_ is used .
It is the word employed by the LXX .
translators in Ex .
25 :
17 and elsewhere as the equivalent for the Hebrew _kapporeth_ ,
which means "
covering ,"
and is used of the lid of the ark of the covenant (
Ex .
25 :
21 ;
30 :
6 ).
This Greek word (
hilasterion )
came to denote not only the mercy -
seat or lid of the ark ,
but also propitation or reconciliation by blood .
On the great day of atonement the high priest carried the blood of the sacrifice he offered for all the people within the veil and sprinkled with it the "
mercy -
seat ,"
and so made propitiation .
In 1 John 2 :
2 ;
4 :

Christ is called the "
propitiation for our sins ."
Here a different Greek word is used (
hilasmos ).
Christ is "
the propitiation ,"
because by his becoming our substitute and assuming our obligations he expiated our guilt ,
covered it ,
by the vicarious punishment which he endured . (
Comp .
Heb .

where the expression "
make reconciliation "
of the A .
V .
is more correctly in the R .
V . "
make propitiation .")
