New Testament

Leviticus 16:29-34 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

29. And this shall be to you an everlasting ordinance. In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and you shall do no work, neither someone native born, nor the newcomer who sojourns among you.

30. On this day, there shall be atonement for you, and also a cleansing from all your sins. You shall be cleansed in the sight of the Lord.

31. For it is a Sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls as a perpetual observance.

32. And the priest who has been anointed, and whose hands have been consecrated to exercise the priesthood in the place of his father, shall make atonement. And he shall be clothed with the linen robe and the holy vestments.

33. And he shall expiate the Sanctuary and the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, likewise the priest and all the people.

34. And this shall be to you a perpetual law, that you pray for the sons of Israel, and for all their sins once a year. Therefore, he did just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
