(SEE 23:30)
You must celebrate this day each year--it is the Great Day of Forgiveness for all the sins of the people of Israel. Moses did exactly as the LORD had commanded.
I am your God, and I forbid you to eat any new grain or anything made from it until you have brought these offerings. This law will never change.
This is a day of celebration and worship, a time of rest from your work. You and your descendants must obey this law.
None of my people are ever to do any work on that day--not now or in the future. And I will wipe out those who do!
This is a time of complete rest just like the Sabbath, and everyone must go without eating from the evening of the ninth to the evening of the tenth.
