Lev 16:30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
This cleansing of sin performed on the Day of Atonement points to Jesus.
Isa 1:18 Come now and let us reason together, says YHWH: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they are red as the crimson, they shall be like wool.
1Jo 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Psa 51:1 Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your loving-kindness, according to the multitude of Your tender mercies; blot out my transgressions.
Psa 51:2 Wash me completely from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
The Prophets speak of a time when YHWH will cause us to return to the land of Israel (Jubilee) and will cleanse us from all our iniquities (Day of Atonement). This will be the ultimate fulfillment of the New Covenant/Marriage covenant.
Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, says YHWH, that I will cut a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
Jer 31:32 not according to the covenant that I cut with their fathers in the day I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt (which covenant of Mine they broke, although I was a husband to them, says YHWH).
Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will cut with the house of Israel: After those days, declares YHWH, I will put My Law in their inward parts, and I will write it on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
Jer 31:34 And they shall no longer each man teach his neighbor, and each man his brother, saying, Know YHWH. For they shall all know Me, from the least of them even to the greatest of them, declares YHWH. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more.
Jer 32:37 Behold, I will gather them out of all the lands, there where I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great indignation. And I will bring them again to this place, and I will cause them to live in safety.
Jer 32:38 And they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
Jer 32:39 And I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me all the days, for good to them and to their sons after them.
Jer 32:40 And I will cut an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do good to them. But I will put My fear in their heart, that they shall not depart from Me.
Jer 32:41 And I will rejoice over them, to do good to them; and I will truly plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.
When does YHWH rejoice over us?
Isa 62:4 You no longer shall be called Forsaken; nor shall your land any longer be called Desolate. But you shall be called, My Delight is in Her; and your land, Married. For YHWH delights in you, and your land is married.
Isa 62:5 For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you. And as a bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so your God shall rejoice over you.

The blood of Jesus (the Word) cleanses us from all iniquity.
Heb 9:13 For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh:
Heb 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?
