The Day of Atonement^(A)

^26-27^(B)The tenth day of the seventh month is the day when the annual ritual is to be performed to take away the sins of the people. On that day do not eat anything at all; come together for worship, and present a food offering to the Lord. ²⁸Do no work on that day, because it is the day for performing the ritual to take away sin. ²⁹Any who eat anything on that day will no longer be considered God's people. ³⁰And if any do any work on that day, the Lord himself will put them to death. ³¹This regulation applies to all your descendants, no matter where they live. ³²From sunset on the ninth day of the month to sunset on the tenth observe this day as a special day of rest, during which nothing may be eaten.
