An Annual Atonement

29 “This shall be a permanent statute for you: (A)in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall humble your souls and not (B)do any work, whether the native, or the alien who sojourns among you; 30 for it is on this day that (a)atonement shall be made for you to (C)cleanse you; you will be clean from all your sins before the Lord. 31 It is to be a sabbath of solemn rest for you, that you may (D)humble your souls; it is a permanent statute.
