Leviticus 23:20-30

20 The Kohen shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave-offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the Kohen.
21 You shall make proclamation on the same day; there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no servile work: it is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations
22 When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor, and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.
23 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
24 Speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25 You shall do no servile work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.
26 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,
27 However on the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict your souls; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28 You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is Yom Kippura day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 For whatever soul it be who shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be cut off from his people.
30 Whatever soul it be who does any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people.
