Leviticus 16:29-30

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁹ It shall be a statute to you forever that in the seventh month [nearly October] on the tenth day of the month you shall afflict yourselves [by fasting with penitence and humiliation] and do no work at all, either the native-born or the stranger who dwells temporarily among you.

³⁰ For on this day atonement shall be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before the Lord.^(A)
