“However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement.
It shall be a holy convocation to you.
You shall afflict yourselves (generally considered as fasting) and
you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
You shall do no kind of work in that same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God.
For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day shall be cut off from his people. Whoever does any kind of work in that same day, I will destroy that person from among his people. You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves.
In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”
- Leviticus 23:27-32
