Le jour des Expiations

26 L’Eternel parla encore à Moïse en ces termes : 27 Le dixième jour de ce septième mois est le jour des Expiations[a] ; ce sera un jour d’assemblée cultuelle, vous vous humilierez et vous offrirez à l’Eternel des sacrifices consumés par le feu. 28 Vous ne ferez aucun travail ce jour-là, car c’est le jour des Expiations destiné à faire l’expiation pour vous devant l’Eternel votre Dieu.

The Day of Atonement

26 The Lord spoke to Moses: 27 “The[a] tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement.[b] It is to be a holy assembly for you, and you must humble yourselves[c] and present a gift to the Lord. 28 You must not do any work on this particular day,[d] because it is a day of atonement to make atonement for yourselves[e] before the Lord your God.
