Leviticus 16:29-31

Living Bible

^29-30 “This is a permanent law: You must do no work on the twenty-fifth day of September,^[a] but must spend the day in self-examination and humility. This applies whether you are born in the land or are a foreigner living among the people of Israel; for this is the day commemorating the atonement, cleansing you in the Lord’s eyes from all of your sins. ³¹ It is a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall spend the day in quiet humility;^[b] this is a permanent law.
