Leviticus 23:26-32

The LORD's Appointed Times: Holy Time, Sacred Assembly, Harvest, Atonement, and Covenant Remembrance

The LORD commands Moses to announce His appointed festivals as sacred assemblies. The weekly Sabbath is established first. Then the annual calendar unfolds: Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, the Festival of Weeks, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Festival of Tabernacles. The chapter concludes by summarizing the appointed offerings and commanding Israel to live in booths so future generations remember that the LORD made Israel dwell in temporary shelters when He brought them out of Egypt.

26 Again the LORD said to Moses,

27 “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You shall hold a sacred assembly and humble yourselves, and present a food offering to the LORD.

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

29 If anyone does not humble himself on this day, he must be cut off from his people.

30 I will destroy from among his people anyone who does any work on this day.

31 You are not to do any work at all. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.

32 It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall humble yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to keep your Sabbath.”
