Context of Leviticus 23:30
28You 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. As for any person who does any work on this particular day, I will exterminate that person from the midst of his people! 31You must not do any work. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all the places where you live. 32It 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.”
