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.
32. This is a Sabbath of special rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. You will observe your Sabbath on the ninth day of the month from evening to the following evening.
33. The Lord said to Moses:
34. Say to the Israelites: The Festival of Booths to the Lord will start on the fifteenth day of the seventh month and will last for seven days.
35. The first day is a holy occasion. You must not do any job-related work.
