Leviticus 23:22-32

22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them to the poor, and to the stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.
23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work [in it]; but ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation to you, and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day; for it [is] a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 For whatever soul [it may be] that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatever soul [it may be] that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work. [It shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It [shall be] to you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls in the ninth [day] of the month at evening: from evening to evening shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
