Leviticus 23:22-32

22“When you harvest the grain in your land, don’t harvest the grain in the corners of your fields or gather what is left after you’re finished. Leave it for poor people and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.”

23The Lord spoke to Moses,

24“Tell the Israelites: On the first day of the seventh month hold a worship festival. It will be a memorial day, a holy assembly announced by the blowing of rams’ horns.

25Don’t do any regular work. Bring a sacrifice by fire to the Lord.”

26The Lord spoke to Moses,

27“In addition, the tenth day of this seventh month is a special day for the payment for sins. There will be a holy assembly. Humble yourselves, and bring the Lord a sacrifice by fire.

28Don’t do any work that day. It is a special day for the payment for sins. It is a time when you make peace with the Lord your God.

29Those who do not humble themselves on that day will be excluded from the people.

30I will kill those who do any work on that day.

31Don’t do any work. It is a permanent law for generations to come wherever you live.

32It is a day of rest, a day when you don’t work. Humble yourselves starting on the evening of the ninth day of the month. From that evening to the next, observe the day of rest as a holy day.”
