The Service of Acharei Mot
Exegetical Approaches
Kaparah for the People
The main focus of the Avodah was to achieve Kaparah for all of Klal Yisrael. Any part of the Avodah that has to do with Taharah of the Mikdash is just a means to the ends of Kaparah
Sources:Rashbam
Taharah Ceremony
The main focus of the Avodah is to purify the Mikdash from Tumah. All issues that deal with Kaparah are just a byproduct of rectifying the Tumah in the Mikdash.
Both Taharah and Kaparah
Both Taharah of the Mikdash and Kaparah for the people are essential to the Avodah and are equally driving the service of Yom Kippur.
