Context of Leviticus 23:28

26The Lord spoke to Moses: 27“The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It is to be a holy assembly for you, and you must humble yourselves and present a gift to the Lord. You must not do any work on this particular day, because it is a day of atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the Lord your God. 29Indeed, any person who does not behave with humility on this particular day will be cut off from his people. 30As for any person who does any work on this particular day, I will exterminate that person from the midst of his people!
