Leviticus 23:22-32

22‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the Lord your God.’ ”

23Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

24“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

25You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’ ”

26And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

27“Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.

28And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.

29For any person who is not afflicted in soul on that same day shall be cut off from his people.

30And any person who does any work on that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.

31You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

32It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath.”
