The Day of Atonement

23:26 The Lord spoke to Moses: 23:27 “The38 tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement.39 It is to be a holy assembly for you, and you must humble yourselves40 and present a gift to the Lord. 23:28 You must not do any work on this particular day,41 because it is a day of atonement to make atonement for yourselves42 before the Lord your God. 23:29 Indeed,43 any person who does not behave with humility on this particular day will be cut off from his people.44 23:30 As for any person45 who does any work on this particular day, I will exterminate46 that person from the midst of his people!47 23:31 You must not do any work. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations48 in all the places where you live. 23:32 It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must humble yourselves on the ninth day of the month in the evening, from evening until evening you must observe your Sabbath.”49
