27. “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You are to hold a sacred assembly and practice self-denial; you are to present a fire offering to the Lord.
28. On this particular day you are not to do any work, for it is a Day of Atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the Lord your God.
29. If any person does not practice self-denial on this particular day, he must be cut off from his people.
30. I will destroy among his people anyone who does any work on this same day.
31. You are not to do any work. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live.
32. It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must practice self-denial. You are to observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening.”
33. The Lord spoke to Moses:
34. “Tell the Israelites: The Festival of Booths to the Lord begins on the fifteenth day of this seventh month and continues for seven days.
35. There is to be a sacred assembly on the first day; you are not to do any daily work.
