the Day of Atonement: A Day of Humiliation

This is to be a permanent statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall humble yourselves and not do any work—whether the native or the foreigner who resides among you—

It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.

“The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You shall hold a sacred assembly and humble yourselves, and present a food offering to the LORD.
