Leviticus 23:24-34 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

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.

30. I will destroy among his people anyone who does any work on this same day.

31. You are not to do any work. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live.

32. It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must practice self-denial. You are to observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening.”

33. The Lord spoke to Moses:

34. “Tell the Israelites: The Festival of Booths to the Lord begins on the fifteenth day of this seventh month and continues for seven days.
