Leviticus 23:24-25-28 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

3. You have six days when you can do your work, but the seventh day of each week is holy because it belongs to me. No matter where you live, you must rest on the Sabbath and come together for worship. This law will never change.

6. The Festival of Thin Bread begins on the fifteenth day of that same month; it lasts seven days, and during this time you must honour me by eating bread made without yeast.

7. On the first day of this festival you must rest from your work and come together for worship.

8. Each day of this festival you must offer sacrifices. Then on the final day you must once again rest from your work and come together for worship.

9. The Lord told Moses

24-25. to say to the people of Israel:The first day of the seventh month must be a day of complete rest. Then at the sound of the trumpets, you will come together to worship and to offer sacrifices on the altar.

26. The Lord God said to Moses:

27. The tenth day of the seventh month is the Great Day of Forgiveness. It is a solemn day of worship; everyone must go without eating to show sorrow for their sins, and sacrifices must be burnt.

28. No one is to work on that day—it is the Great Day of Forgiveness, when sacrifices will be offered to me, so that I will forgive your sins.
