In , the Haftarah for Yom Kippur morning, God describes "the fast that I have chosen the day for a man to afflict his soul." makes clear that "to afflict the soul" was understood as fasting. But goes on to impress that "to afflict the soul," God also seeks acts of social justice: "to loose the fetters of wickedness, to undo the bands of the yoke," "to let the oppressed go free," "to give your bread to the hungry, and . . . bring the poor that are cast out to your house," and "when you see the naked, that you cover him."
