Perdue's OWL is a great source for MLA guidelines.
For the in-text citation:

In your first parenthetical citation, you want to make clear which Bible you're using (and underline or italicize the title), as each version varies in its translation, followed by book (do not italicize or underline), chapter, and verse.

For the multiple citations, you separate with semicolons, it's not necessary to repeat the book name, so your citation should be:

(New King James Version, Lev. 16; 23.26-32)

Italicize “The Bible” and follow it with the version you are using.

So your citation should be:

The Bible. New King James Version. BibleGateway, biblegateway.com/passage/?version=NKJV. Accessed 18 November 2020.
