23 The Lord told Moses
24-25 to say to the people of Israel:The first day of the seventh month must be a day of complete rest. Then at the sound of the trumpets, you will come together to worship and to offer sacrifices on the altar.
26 The Lord God said to Moses:
27 The tenth day of the seventh month is the Great Day of Forgiveness. It is a solemn day of worship; everyone must go without eating to show sorrow for their sins, and sacrifices must be burnt.
28 No one is to work on that day—it is the Great Day of Forgiveness, when sacrifices will be offered to me, so that I will forgive your sins.
29 I will destroy anyone who refuses to go without eating.
30-31 None of my people are ever to do any work on that day—not now or in the future. And I will wipe out those who do!
