Leviticus 23:26-32

Modern English Version

The Day of Atonement^(A)

²⁶ The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: ²⁷ Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall humble yourselves, and offer a food offering made by fire to the Lord. ²⁸ You shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement to make atonement for you before the Lord your God. ²⁹ For whoever is not humbled on that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. ³⁰ And whoever does any work in that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people. ³¹ You shall do no manner of work. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings. ³² It shall be to you a sabbath of complete rest, and you shall afflict your souls. On the ninth day of the month starting at the evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath.
