18. At this same time, the entire community of Israel must bring seven lambs that are a year old, a young bull, and two rams. These animals must have nothing wrong with them, and they must be offered as a sacrifice to please me. You must also offer the proper grain and wine sacrifices with each animal.
19. Offer a goat as a sacrifice for sin, and two rams a year old as a sacrifice to ask my blessing.
20. The priest will lift up the rams together with the bread in dedication to me. These offerings are holy and are my gift to the priest.
21. This is a day of celebration and worship, a time of rest from your work. You and your descendants must obey this law.
22. When you harvest your grain, always leave some of it standing around the edges of your fields and don't pick up what falls on the ground. Leave it for the poor and for those foreigners who live among you. I am the Lord your God!
23. The Lord told Moses
24-25. to say to the people of Israel:The first day of the seventh month must be a day of complete rest. Then at the sound of the trumpets, you will come together to worship and to offer sacrifices on the altar.
26. The Lord God said to Moses:
27. The tenth day of the seventh month is the Great Day of Forgiveness. It is a solemn day of worship; everyone must go without eating to show sorrow for their sins, and sacrifices must be burnt.
28. No one is to work on that day—it is the Great Day of Forgiveness, when sacrifices will be offered to me, so that I will forgive your sins.
29. I will destroy anyone who refuses to go without eating.
30-31. None of my people are ever to do any work on that day—not now or in the future. And I will wipe out those who do!
32. This is a time of complete rest just like the Sabbath, and everyone must go without eating from the evening of the ninth to the evening of the tenth.
