The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present a food offering to the Lord. The Day of Atonement on the tenth of the seventh month: sacred assembly, self-denial, and food offering. The self-denial — fasting and physical restriction — is the community's response to the most solemn day of the year. The day on which the high priest enters the Most Holy Place to make atonement for the entire community requires the community's active participation through self-denial.
