Leviticus 23:20-29 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

20. And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before Yahweh; in addition to the two male lambs, they shall be holy for Yahweh for the priest.

21. And you shall make a proclamation on this very same day; it shall be a holy assembly for you; you shall not do any regular work; this is a lasting statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

22. And when you reap the harvest of your land, you must not finish the edge of your field at your reaping, and you must not glean the remnants of your harvest—you shall leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I am Yahweh your God.’ ”

23. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

24. “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you must have a rest period, a remembrance of the trumpet blast, a holy assembly.

25. You must not do any regular work, and you shall present an offering made by fire to Yahweh.’ ”

26. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

27. “Surely the Day of Atonement is on the tenth day of the seventh month; it shall be a holy assembly for you, and you shall deny yourselves, and you shall present an offering made by fire to Yahweh.

28. And you must not do any regular work on this very same day, because it is the Day of Atonement to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God.

29. If there is any person who does not deny himself on this very same day, then he shall be cut off from his people.
