Post multipicklist to Lead REST api

I can't find any places that mention how to post multipicklist value to Lead or Contact at create a record "https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/dome_sobject_create.htm". How to post a record that contains multipicklist?

To insert or update options in a multi-select picklist in an object you will need to separate all the picklist options with a semi-colon. 

For example: a;b;c will insert all 3 picklist values of a, b and c into your multi-select picklist field for that record. It does not matter if you have spaces between your values and semi-colons. 

Please note that any existing values selected in the multi select picklist field will be overwritten. If you would like to add values to the existing values selected you will first need to export the field contents, add the additional values you would like listed and then perform the update.
