27 aThe bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried outside the camp. And they shall burn in the fire their skins, their flesh, and their offal.  
28 Then he who burns them shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and afterward he may come into the camp.
29 “This shall be a statute forever for you: aIn the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall1 afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether a native of your own country or a stranger who2 dwells among you.  
30 For on that day the priest shall make1 atonement for you, to acleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before the Lord.  
31 aIt is a sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall afflict your souls. It is a statute forever.  
32 aAnd the priest, who is anointed and bconsecrated to minister as priest in his father’s place, shall make atonement, and put on the linen clothes, the holy garments;  
33 then he shall make atonement for2 the Holy Sanctuary, and he shall make atonement for the tabernacle of meeting and for the altar, and he shall make atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

Leviticus 16:29

The seventh month - Answering part to our September and part to our October; when they had gathered in all their fruits, and were most at leisure for God's service: This time God chose for this and other feasts, herein graciously condescending to men's necessities and conveniences. This feast began in the evening of the ninth day, and continued till the evening of the tenth. Your souls - Yourselves, both your bodies, by abstinence from food and other delights, and your minds by grief for former sins, which though bitter, yet is voluntary in all true penitents, who are therefore here said to afflict themselves, or to be active in the work.
