Yom Kippur, then, is one day in length but spans two calendar days, the 9th and 10th days of the Seventh Month. If the day began at evening, then Moses would have simply been told that Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement was on the 10th day. But he wasn't. He was told to start it the evening before on the 9th day. In other words, the evening part of Yom Kippur belonged to one day (the 9th) and the morning part belonged to another day (10th), breaking the usual tavnith (pattern) for the Sabbath Day and for all the other ordinary and festival days of the year.
