Leviticus 23:20-30

20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs; they shall be holiness of the LORD for the priest.
21 And ye shall be summoned on that same day; it shall be a holy convocation unto you; ye shall do no servile work: a perpetual statute in all your dwellings throughout your ages.
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 for the poor and for the stranger. I AM your God.
23 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month in the first day of the month, ye shall have a rest, an alarm for a reminder, and a holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein; but ye shall offer an offering on fire unto the LORD.
26 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
27 But the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of reconciliations; it shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls and offer an offering made on fire unto the LORD.
28 And ye shall do no work in this same day; for it is a day of reconciliations, to reconcile you before the LORD your God.
29 For every person that shall not afflict themselves in that same day, shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And any person that does any work in that same day, the same person will I destroy from among his people.
