23. The Lord said to Moses:
24. Say to the Israelites: On the first day of the seventh month, you will have a special rest, a holy occasion marked by a trumpet signal.
25. You must not do any job-related work, and you must offer a food gift to the Lord.
26. The Lord said to Moses:
27. Note that the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Reconciliation. It will be a holy occasion for you. You must deny yourselves and offer a food gift to the Lord.
28. You must not do any work that day because it is a Day of Reconciliation to make reconciliation for you before the Lord your God.
29. Anyone who does not deny themselves on that day will be cut off from their people.
30. Moreover, I will destroy from their people anyone who does any work on that day.
31. You must not do any work! This is a permanent rule throughout your future generations wherever you live.
