Leviticus 16:29-34 - Review Of The Day Of Atonement

²⁹ "This is to be a perpetual statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you (including both the native born and the resident alien) are to humble yourselves by not doing any work, ³⁰ because on that day, atonement will be made for you to cleanse you from all your sins. You are to be clean in the LORD's presence. ³¹ It's the Sabbath of all Sabbaths for you, so humble yourselves. This is to be a perpetual statute. ³² The priest who has been anointed and consecrated to be priest after his father is to make the atonement. He is to put on the sacred linen clothing ³³ and make atonement for the sacred sanctuary, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar where atonement is carried out. He is also to make atonement for the priests and the people of the entire assembly. ³⁴ This will be a perpetual statute for you as you make atonement once a year for the Israelis on account of all their sins." So Moses did just as the LORD had commanded him.
