New Testament

Leviticus 23:19-29 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

19. You are also to prepare one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a fellowship sacrifice.

20. The priest will wave the lambs with the bread of firstfruits as a presentation offering before the Lord; the bread and the two lambs will be holy to the Lord for the priest.

21. On that same day you are to make a proclamation and hold a sacred assembly. You are not to do any daily work. This is to be a permanent statute wherever you live throughout your generations.

22. When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap all the way to the edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident; I am Yahweh your God.”

23. The Lord spoke to Moses:

24. “Tell the Israelites: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a day of complete rest, commemoration, and joyful shouting — a sacred assembly.

25. You must not do any daily work, but you must present a fire offering to the Lord.”

26. The Lord again spoke to Moses:

27. “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You are to hold a sacred assembly and practice self-denial; you are to present a fire offering to the Lord.

28. On this particular day you are not to do any work, for it is a Day of Atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the Lord your God.

29. If any person does not practice self-denial on this particular day, he must be cut off from his people.
