Le dixième jour de ce septième mois, vous aurez une sainte convocation, et vous humilierez vos âmes: vous ne ferez aucun ouvrage.
Parimente, al decimo giorno di questo settimo mese, siavi santa raunanza; e affliggete l’anime vostre, e non fate alcun lavoro.
E no dia dez deste sétimo mês tereis santa convocação, e afligireis as vossas almas; nenhum trabalho fareis.
