Leviticus 23:26-32

Rules about the Day of Atonement

26 The Lord said to Moses, 27 ‘The tenth day of the seventh month is the Day of Atonement. On that day, you must come together to worship the Lord. You must not eat any food. Instead, you must make a special offering to the Lord. 28 You must not do any work on that day. It is a day of atonement. The priests will offer sacrifices to the Lord your God to make you clean from your sins. 29 You must punish anyone who does not obey the rules for this day. That person can no longer belong among God's people. 30 I will destroy any person from among my people who does any work on that day. 31 You must not do any kind of work. This rule will continue for ever in all the places where you live. 32 It is a Sabbath day of complete rest for all of you. It is a day when you must not eat any food. You must rest from the evening of the ninth day until the evening of the tenth day.’
