Lev. 23:32
Also, Yom Kippur is "Shabbat Shabbatot" - THE Sabbath of Sabbaths -
and does not need to fall on the seventh day of the week.
And it's character and purpose is to atone for all our sins -
prohibition of work is reiterating that no work (worship) is to be
done, no need to supplicate as in Temple service, just like on the
weekly Shabbat.
