In Leviticus 16 the Hebrew word is taher, the common word for cleansing. The words translated "cleansed" in both Leviticus 16 and Daniel 8 are not the same Hebrew word.

Leviticus 16:30 was cited in support of this teaching: "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 was identified with Daniel 8:14, "Unto two thousand and three hundred days then shall the sanctuary be cleansed." Thus the pioneers firmly believed that the word cleansed in both texts referred to the same event. This appeal by the early pioneers to the heavenly sanctuary was to determine the entire doctrine of the antitypical day of atonement and the pre-Advent judgment.

The morning after the great Disappointment, Hiram Edson claimed to have received new insight and correction regarding the cleansing of the sanctuary. Until October 22, 1844, early Adventists believed that the sanctuary was the earth, which Jesus Christ would cleanse by fire at His second advent on that date. Since 1844, Adventist teaching on Christ's high priestly ministry in the Most Holy Apartment of the heavenly sanctuary has centered upon the doctrine of a pre-Advent judgment.
