23
1 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
2 “Speak
to the children
of Israel, and
tell them, ‘The
set feasts of
the LORD, which
you shall proclaim
to be holy
convocations, even
these are my
set feasts.
3 “ ‘Six
days shall work
be done, but
on the seventh
day is a
Sabbath of solemn
rest, a holy
convocation; you
shall do no kind
of work. It
is a Sabbath
to the LORD
in all your
dwellings.
4 “ ‘These
are the set
feasts of the
LORD, even holy
convocations, which
you shall proclaim
in their appointed
season.
5 In
the first month,
on the fourteenth
day of the
month in the
evening, is the
LORD’s Passover.
6 On
the fifteenth day
of the same
month is the
feast of
unleavened bread
to the LORD.
Seven days you
shall eat unleavened
bread.
7 In
the first day
you shall have
a holy convocation.
You shall do
no regular work.
8 But
you shall offer
an offering made
by fire to the
LORD seven days.
In the seventh
day is a
holy convocation.
You shall do
no regular work.’ ”
9 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
10 “Speak
to the children
of Israel, and
tell them, ‘When
you have come
into the land
which I give
to you, and
shall reap its
harvest, then you
shall bring the
sheaf of the
first fruits of
your harvest to
the priest.
11 He
shall wave the
sheaf before the
LORD, to be
accepted for you.
On the next
day after the
Sabbath the priest
shall wave it.
12 On
the day when
you wave the
sheaf, you shall
offer a male
lamb without
defect a year
old for a
burnt offering to
the LORD.
13 The
meal offering with
it shall be
two tenths of
an ephah
of fine flour
mixed with oil,
an offering made
by fire to the
LORD for a pleasant
aroma; and the
drink offering
with it shall
be of wine,
the fourth part
of a hin.
14 You
must not eat
bread, or roasted
grain, or fresh
grain, until this
same day, until
you have brought
the offering of
your God. This
is a statute
forever throughout
your generations
in all your
dwellings.
15 “ ‘You
shall count from
the next day
after the Sabbath,
from the day
that you brought
the sheaf of
the wave offering:
seven Sabbaths
shall be completed.
16 The
next day after
the seventh
Sabbath you shall
count fifty days;
and you shall
offer a new
meal offering to
the LORD.
17 You
shall bring out
of your
habitations two
loaves of bread
for a wave
offering made of
two tenths of
an ephah
of fine flour.
They shall be baked
with yeast, for
first fruits to
the LORD.
18 You
shall present with
the bread seven
lambs without
defect a year
old, one young
bull, and two rams.
They shall be
a burnt offering
to the LORD,
with their meal
offering and their
drink offerings,
even an offering
made by fire, of
a sweet aroma
to the LORD.
19 You
shall offer one
male goat for
a sin offering,
and two male
lambs a year
old for a
sacrifice of peace
offerings.
20 The
priest shall wave
them with the
bread of the
first fruits for
a wave offering
before the LORD,
with the two
lambs. They shall
be holy to
the LORD for
the priest.
21 You
shall make
proclamation on
the same day
that there shall
be a holy
convocation to you.
You shall do
no regular work.
This is a
statute forever in
all your dwellings
throughout your
generations.
22 “ ‘When
you reap the
harvest of your
land, you must
not wholly reap into
the corners of
your field. You
must not gather
the gleanings of
your harvest. You
must leave them
for the poor
and for the
foreigner. I am
the LORD your
God.’ ”
23 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
24 “Speak
to the children
of Israel, saying,
‘In the seventh
month, on the
first day of
the month, there
shall be a
solemn rest for
you, a memorial
of blowing of
trumpets, a holy
convocation.
25 You
shall do no
regular work. You
shall offer an
offering made
by fire to the
LORD.’ ”
26 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
27 “However on
the tenth day
of this seventh
month is the
day of atonement.
It shall be
a holy convocation
to you. You
shall afflict
yourselves and you
shall offer an
offering made
by fire to the
LORD.
28 You
shall do no kind
of work in
that same day,
for it is
a day of
atonement, to make
atonement for you
before the LORD
your God.
29 For
whoever it is
who shall not deny
himself in that
same day shall
be cut off
from his people.
30 Whoever
does any kind of
work in that
same day, I
will destroy that
person from among
his people.
31 You
shall do no
kind of work:
it is a
statute forever
throughout your
generations in all
your dwellings.
32 It
shall be a
Sabbath of solemn
rest for you,
and you shall deny
yourselves. In the
ninth day of
the month at
evening, from
evening to evening,
you shall keep
your Sabbath.”
33 The
LORD spoke to
Moses, saying,
34 “Speak
to the children
of Israel, and
say, ‘On the
fifteenth day of
this seventh month
is the feast
of booths
for seven days
to the LORD.
35 On
the first day
shall be a
holy convocation.
You shall do
no regular work.
36 Seven
days you shall
offer an offering
made by fire to
the LORD. On
the eighth day
shall be a
holy convocation
to you. You
shall offer an
offering made
by fire to the
LORD. It is
a solemn assembly;
you shall do
no regular work.
37 “ ‘These
are the appointed
feasts of the
LORD which you
shall proclaim to
be holy
convocations, to
offer an offering
made by fire to
the LORD, a
burnt offering, a
meal offering, a
sacrifice, and
drink offerings,
each on its own
day—
38 in addition
to the Sabbaths
of the LORD,
and in addition to
your gifts, and
in addition to all
your vows, and
in addition to all
your free will
offerings, which
you give to
the LORD.
39 “ ‘So on
the fifteenth day
of the seventh
month, when you
have gathered in
the fruits of
the land, you
shall keep the
feast of the
LORD seven days.
On the first
day shall be
a solemn rest,
and on the
eighth day shall
be a solemn
rest.
40 You
shall take on
the first day
the fruit of
majestic trees,
branches of palm
trees, and boughs
of thick trees,
and willows of
the brook; and
you shall rejoice
before the LORD
your God seven
days.
41 You
shall keep it
as a feast
to the LORD
seven days in
the year. It
is a statute
forever throughout
your generations.
You shall keep
it in the
seventh month.
42 You
shall dwell in
temporary shelters
for seven days.
All who
are native-born in
Israel shall dwell
in temporary
shelters,
43 that
your generations
may know that
I made the
children of Israel
to dwell in
temporary shelters
when I brought
them out of
the land of Egypt.
I am the
LORD your God.’ ”
44 So
Moses declared to
the children of
Israel the
appointed feasts
of the LORD.
