Leviticus 23:22-32

22 When ye repe doune youre haruest, thou shalt not make cleane ryddaunce off thy felde, nether shalt thou make any aftergatheringe of thy haruest: but shalt leue them vnto the poore and the straunger. I am the Lorde youre God.

23 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saynge:

24 speake vnto the childern of Israel ad saye. The first daye of the suenth moneth shalbe a rest of remembraunce vnto you, to blowe hornes in an holy feast it shalbe,

25 and ye shall do no laborious worke therein, and ye shall offer sacrifice vnto the Lorde.

26 And the Lorde spake vnto Moses sayenge:

27 also the tenth daye of the selfe seueth moneth, is a daye of an attonement, and shalbe on holy feast vnto you, ad ye shall humble youre soules and offer sacrifice vnto the Lorde.

28 Moreouer ye shall do no worke the same daye, for it is a daye of attonement to make an attonemet for you before the Lord your God.

29 For what soeuer soule it be that humbleth not him selfe that daye, he shalbe destroyde from amonge his people.

30 And what soeuer soule do any maner worke that daye, the same I will destroye from amonge his people.

31 Se that ye do no maner worke therfore. And it shalbe a lawe for euer vnto youre generacions after you in all youre dwellynges.

32 A sabbath of reste it shalbe vnto you, and ye shall humble youre soules. The .ix. daye of the moneth at euen and so forth from eue to euen agayne, ye shall kepe your Sabbath.
