Leviticus 23:22-32

22‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the edges of your field, nor gather the gleaning of your harvest; you are to leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am the Lord your God.’ ”

23Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

24“Say to the children of Israel, ‘On the first day of the seventh month (almost October), you shall observe a day of solemn sabbatical rest, a memorial day announced by the blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

25You shall not do any laborious work [on that day], but you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord.’ ”

26The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

27“Also the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble yourselves [by fasting] and present an offering by fire to the Lord.

28You shall not do any work on this same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement on your behalf before the Lord your God.

29If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day, he shall be cut off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them].

30If there is any person who does any work on this same day, I will destroy that person from among his people.

31You shall do no work at all [on that day]. It is a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you may be.

32It is to be to you a Sabbath of complete rest, and you shall humble yourselves. On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening you shall keep your Sabbath.”
