Ug miingon ang Ginoo kang Moises, “Ang ikanapulo nga adlaw niining ikapito nga bulan mao ang Adlaw sa Pagluwas sa mga Tawo gikan sa Ilang mga Sala. Ayaw kamo pagtrabaho nianang adlawa kondili pagtigom kamo sa pagsimba sa Ginoo. Pagpuasa ug paghalad kamo ug halad nga sinunog alang kaniya. Kay nianang adlawa himuon ang seremonya sa paghinlo kaninyo sa inyong mga sala diha sa presensya sa Ginoo nga inyong Dios.
