Contextual Overview

23Again Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 24"Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a memorial by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall bring an offering by fire near to Yahweh.'" 26And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 27"On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble your souls and bring an offering by fire near to Yahweh. 28And you shall not do any work on this same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement on your behalf before Yahweh your God. 29If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day, he shall be cut off from his people. 30And as for any person who does any work on this same day, that person I will cause to perish from among his people. 31You shall do no work at all. It is to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your places of habitation. 32It is to be a sabbath of complete rest to you, and you shall humble your souls; on the ninth of the month at evening, from evening until evening you shall keep your sabbath."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Ye shall do no manner of work,.... Which is repeated, that it might be observed, and to show how strictly God required this day should be kept, and how careful men should be of breaking the command in this respect, and how much he should resent it if they did:

[it shall be] a statute for ever, throughout your generations, in all your dwellings; unto the coming of the Messiah, who, by the atoning sacrifice of himself, would answer to this law, and put an end to it.
