24-25. to say to the people of Israel:The first day of the seventh month must be a day of complete rest. Then at the sound of the trumpets, you will come together to worship and to offer sacrifices on the altar.
26. The Lord God said to Moses:
27. The tenth day of the seventh month is the Great Day of Forgiveness. It is a solemn day of worship; everyone must go without eating to show sorrow for their sins, and sacrifices must be burnt.
28. No one is to work on that day—it is the Great Day of Forgiveness, when sacrifices will be offered to me, so that I will forgive your sins.
29. I will destroy anyone who refuses to go without eating.
30-31. None of my people are ever to do any work on that day—not now or in the future. And I will wipe out those who do!
32. This is a time of complete rest just like the Sabbath, and everyone must go without eating from the evening of the ninth to the evening of the tenth.
33. The Lord told Moses
34. to say to the community of Israel:Beginning on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, and continuing for seven days, everyone must celebrate the Festival of Shelters in honour of me.
35. No one is to do any work on the first day of the festival—it is a time when everyone must come together for worship.
