Context of Leviticus 23:28

26The Lord again spoke to Moses: 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 food offering to the Lord. 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. 29If any person does not practice self-denial on this particular day, he is to be cut off from his people. 30I will destroy among his people anyone who does any work on this same day.
