Leviticus 23:19-33 New English Translation (NET)

19. You must also offer one male goat for a sin offering and two yearling lambs for a peace offering sacrifice,

20. and the priest is to wave them – the two lambs – along with the bread of the first fruits, as a wave offering before the Lord; they will be holy to the Lord for the priest.

21. “‘On this very day you must proclaim an assembly; it is to be a holy assembly for you. You must not do any regular work. This is a perpetual statute in all the places where you live throughout your generations.

22. When you gather in the harvest of your land, you must not completely harvest the corner of your field, and you must not gather up the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and the foreigner. I am the Lord your God.’”

23. The Lord spoke to Moses:

24. “Tell the Israelites, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you must have a complete rest, a memorial announced by loud horn blasts, a holy assembly.

25. You must not do any regular work, but you must present a gift to the Lord.’”

26. The Lord spoke to Moses:

27. “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It is to be a holy assembly for you, and you must humble yourselves and present a gift to the Lord.

28. You must not do any work on this particular day, because it is a day of atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the Lord your God.

29. Indeed, any person who does not behave with humility on this particular day will be cut off from his people.

30. As for any person who does any work on this particular day, I will exterminate that person from the midst of his people!

31. You must not do any work. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all the places where you live.

32. It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must humble yourselves on the ninth day of the month in the evening, from evening until evening you must observe your Sabbath.”

33. The Lord spoke to Moses:
