The Annual Statute of Yom Kippur

29

And this shall be to you an everlasting ordinance. The seventh month, the tenth day of the month, you shall afflict your souls, and shall do no work, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you.

30

Upon this day shall be the expiation for you, and the cleansing from all your sins. You shall be cleansed before the Lord.

31

For it is a sabbath of rest: and you shall afflict your souls by a perpetual religion.

32

And the priest that is anointed, and whose hands are consecrated to do the office of the priesthood in his father's stead, shall make atonement. And he shall be vested with the linen robe and the holy vestments.

33

And he shall expiate the sanctuary and the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar: the priest also and all the people.

34

And this shall be an ordinance for ever, that you pray for the children of Israel, and for all their sins once a year. He did therefore as the Lord had commanded Moses.
