29 ¶ So this shall be an ordinance forever unto you: the tenth day of the [a]seventh month, ye shall [b]humble your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of the same country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you.

30 For that (A)day shall the Priest make an atonement for you to cleanse you: ye shall be clean from all your sins before the Lord.

31 This shall be a [c]Sabbath of rest unto you, and you shall humble your souls by an ordinance forever.
