Leviticus 23:30

30 I will destroy from among his people anyone who works on that day.

Leviticus 23:30 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:30

And whatsoever soul [it be] that doeth any work in that same
day
Any sort of work whatever; for, as before observed, it was to be kept as strictly as the weekly sabbath:

the same soul will I destroy from among his people;
with the pestilence, as the above Targum; it seems to be but another phrase for cutting them off, and to signify the same thing.

Leviticus 23:30 In-Context

28 Don't work on that day because it is a day of atonement to make atonement for you before your God.
29 Anyone who doesn't fast on that day must be cut off from his people.
30 I will destroy from among his people anyone who works on that day.
31 Don't do any work that day - none. This is a perpetual decree for all the generations to come, wherever you happen to be living.
32 It is a Sabbath of complete and total rest, a fast day. Observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening."
