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.
35. There is to be a sacred assembly on the first day; you are not to do any daily work.
36. You are to present a fire offering to the Lord for seven days. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present a fire offering to the Lord. It is a solemn gathering; you are not to do any daily work.
37. “These are the Lord’s appointed times that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting fire offerings to the Lord, burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day.
38. These are in addition to the offerings for the Lord’s Sabbaths, your gifts, all your vow offerings, and all your freewill offerings that you give to the Lord.
39. “You are to celebrate the Lord’s festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh month for seven days after you have gathered the produce of the land. There will be complete rest on the first day and complete rest on the eighth day.
