Leviticus 23:32
Compare all
30 And any person who does any work on that same day, athat person I will destroy from among his people.  
31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall1 afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall2 celebrate your sabbath.”  

The Feast of Tabernacles

33 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: a‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord.  
35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it.
36 For seven days you shall offer an aoffering made by fire to the Lord. bOn the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a csacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.  
37 a‘These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day—

Leviticus 23:32

From even to even - The day of atonement began at the evening of the ninth day, and continued till the evening of the tenth day. Ye shall celebrate your sabbath - This particular sabbath is called your sabbath, possibly to note the difference between this and other sabbaths: for the weekly sabbath is oft called the sabbath of the Lord. The Jews are supposed to begin every day, and consequently their sabbaths, at the evening, in remembrance of the creation, as Christians generally begin their days and sabbaths with the morning in memory of Christ's resurrection.
