Do not do any work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.
29 If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day, he shall be cut off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them]. For whoever is not afflicted on that very day shall be cut off from his people. Those who do not deny themselves on that day must be cut off from their people.
30 If there is any person who does any work on this same day, I will destroy that person from among his people. And whoever does any work on that very day, that person I will destroy from among his people. I will destroy from among their people anyone who does any work on that day.
