Leviticus 23:27-29

Contemporary English Version

²⁷ The tenth day of the seventh month^[a] is the Great Day of Forgiveness.^[b] It is a solemn day of worship; everyone must go without eating to show sorrow for their sins, and sacrifices must be burned. 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.
