This is always the meaning of -atonement" in the Bible (as in Old English generally): the idea of amendsor reparationfor a fault, which the word now mostly suggests, is not implied in either its Hebrew or its Greek equivalent. See further DB.iv. 128; and on Exodus 30:10.

a stranger Heb. zâr; i.e., here, one not a priest (see esp. Numbers 16:40), a frequent use of the word in P (Exodus 30:33; Numbers 3:10; Numbers 3:38; Numbers 18:7 al.; see further DB.iv. 622 a, near the bottom). Quite a different word from the ones rendered strangerin Exodus 12:48 (gêr), and strangein Exodus 2:22 (nokri): see the notes on these passages, and Strange, Stranger, in DB.
