Leviticus 23:29
27 “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You shall hold a sacred assembly and humble yourselves, and present an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28 On this day you are not to do any work, for it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.
If anyone does not humble himself on this day, he must be cut off from his people.
30 I will destroy from among his people anyone who does any work on this day.
31 You are not to do any work at all. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
