25. You shall do no regular work, and you shall offer a food offering made by fire to the Lord.

26. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

27. Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall humble yourselves, and offer a food offering made by fire to the Lord.

30. And whoever does any work in that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.
