Leviticus 23:22-30 Good News Bible (GNB)

22. When you harvest your fields, do not cut the corn at the edges of the fields, and do not go back to cut the ears of corn that were left; leave them for poor people and foreigners. The Lord is your God.

23-24. On the first day of the seventh month observe a special day of rest, and come together for worship when the trumpets sound.

25. Present a food offering to the Lord and do none of your daily work.

26-27. The tenth day of the seventh month is the day when the annual ritual is to be performed to take away the sins of the people. On that day do not eat anything at all; come together for worship, and present a food offering to the Lord.

28. Do no work on that day, because it is the day for performing the ritual to take away sin.

29. Anyone who eats anything on that day will no longer be considered one of God's people.

30. And if anyone does any work on that day, the Lord himself will put him to death.
