Leviticus

Leviticus 16:29–31

²⁹This is to be a permanent statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall humble yourselves^e and not do any work — whether the native or the foreigner who resides among you — ³⁰because on this day atonement will be made for you to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the LORD. ³¹It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.
