Leviticus 23:24-34 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

24. Tell the Israelites: On the first day of the seventh month you will have a sabbath rest, with trumpet blasts as a reminder, a declared holy day;

25. you shall do no heavy work, and you shall offer an oblation to the Lord.

26. The Lord said to Moses:

27. Now the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You will have a declared holy day. You shall humble yourselves and offer an oblation to the Lord.

28. On this day you shall not do any work, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the Lord, your God.

29. Those who do not humble themselves on this day shall be cut off from the people.

30. If anyone does any work on this day, I will remove that person from the midst of the people.

31. You shall do no work; this is a perpetual statute throughout your generations wherever you dwell;

32. it is a sabbath of complete rest for you. You shall humble yourselves. Beginning on the evening of the ninth of the month, you shall keep your sabbath from evening to evening.

33. The Lord said to Moses:

34. Tell the Israelites: The fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Lord’s feast of Booths, which shall continue for seven days.
