The Day of Atonement
26
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27
Now, the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you: you shall deny yourselves and present the Lord's offering by fire;
28
and you shall do no work during that entire day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement on your behalf before the Lord your God.
29
For anyone who does not practice self-denial during that entire day shall be cut off from the people.
30
And anyone who does any work during that entire day, such a one I will destroy from the midst of the people.
31
You shall do no work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your settlements.
32
It shall be to you a sabbath of complete rest, and you shall deny yourselves; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening you shall keep your sabbath.
