Leviticus 23:21-31 Amplified Bible (AMP)

21. You shall make proclamation the same day, summoning a holy assembly; you shall do no servile work that day. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

22. And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest; you shall leave them for the poor and the stranger. I am the Lord your God.

23. And the Lord said to Moses,

24. Say to the Israelites, On the first day of the seventh month [almost October], you shall observe a day of solemn [sabbatical] rest, a memorial day announced by blowing of trumpets, a holy [called] assembly.

25. You shall do no servile work on it, but you shall present an offering made by fire to the Lord.

26. And the Lord said to Moses,

27. Also the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement; it shall be a holy [called] assembly, and you shall afflict yourselves [by fasting in penitence and humility] and present an offering made by fire to the Lord.

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

29. For whoever is not afflicted [by fasting in penitence and humility] on this day shall be cut off from among his people [that he may not be included in the atonement made for them].

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

31. You shall do no kind of work [on that day]. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
