Leviticus 16:29-34

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²⁹ “This is to be a permanent statute^(A) for you: In the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month you are to practice self-denial^[a](B) and do no work,^(C) both the native and the foreigner^(D) who resides among you. ³⁰ Atonement will be made for you on this day to cleanse you,^(E) and you will be clean from all your sins before the Lord. ³¹ It is a Sabbath^(F) of complete rest for you,^(G) and you must practice self-denial; it is a permanent statute. ³² The priest who is anointed and ordained^[b](H) to serve as high priest^(I) in place of his father will make atonement. He will put on the linen garments, the holy garments, ³³ and purify the most holy place. He will purify the tent of meeting and the altar and will make atonement for the priests and all the people of the assembly. ³⁴ This is to be a permanent statute for you, to make atonement for the Israelites once a year^(J) because of all their sins.” And all this was done as the Lord commanded Moses.
