Leviticus 23:26-37

26The Lord said to Moses,

27“The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present a food offering to the Lord.

28Do not do any work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the Lord your God.

29Those who do not deny themselves on that day must be cut off from their people.

30I will destroy from among their people anyone who does any work on that day.

31You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.

32It is a day of sabbath rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your sabbath.”

33The Lord said to Moses,

34“Say to the Israelites: ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Lord’s Festival of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days.

35The first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work.

36For seven days present food offerings to the Lord, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present a food offering to the Lord. It is the closing special assembly; do no regular work.

37(“ ‘These are the Lord’s appointed festivals, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for bringing food offerings to the Lord—the burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings required for each day.
