Leviticus 23

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘These are My appointed feasts, the feasts of the LORD that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.

3 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a day of sacred assembly. You must not do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD.

4 These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times.

5 The Passover to the LORD begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.

6 On the fifteenth day of the same month begins the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.

7 On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly; you are not to do any regular work.

8 For seven days you are to present a food offering to the LORD. On the seventh day there shall be a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.’”

9 And the LORD said to Moses,

10 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘When you enter the land that I am giving you and you reap its harvest, you are to bring to the priest a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest.

11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD so that it may be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.

12 On the day you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a year-old lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD,

13 along with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil—a food offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.

14 You must not eat any bread or roasted or new grain until the very day you have brought this offering to your God. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.

15 From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you are to count off seven full weeks.

16 You shall count off fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD.

17 Bring two loaves of bread from your dwellings as a wave offering, each made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour, baked with leaven, as the firstfruits to the LORD.

18 Along with the bread you are to present seven unblemished male lambs a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the LORD, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

19 You shall also prepare one male goat as a sin offering and two male lambs a year old as a peace offering.

20 The priest is to wave the lambs as a wave offering before the LORD, together with the bread of the firstfruits. The bread and the two lambs shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.

21 On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly, and you must not do any regular work. This is to be a permanent statute wherever you live for the generations to come.

22 When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap all the way to the edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident. I am the LORD your God.’”

23 The LORD also said to Moses,

24 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly announced by trumpet blasts.

25 You must not do any regular work, but you are to present a food offering to the LORD.’”

26 Again the LORD said to Moses,

27 “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You shall hold a sacred assembly and humble yourselves, and present a food offering to the LORD.

28 On this day you are not to do any work, for it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.

29 If anyone does not humble himself on this day, he must be cut off from his people.

30 I will destroy from among his people anyone who does any work on this day.

31 You are not to do any work at all. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.

32 It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall humble yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to keep your Sabbath.”

33 And the LORD said to Moses,

34 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Feast of Tabernacles to the LORD begins, and it continues for seven days.

35 On the first day there shall be a sacred assembly. You must not do any regular work.

36 For seven days you are to present a food offering to the LORD. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present a food offering to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you must not do any regular work.

37 These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting food offerings to the LORD—burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day.

38 These offerings are in addition to the offerings for the LORD’s Sabbaths, and in addition to your gifts, to all your vow offerings, and to all the freewill offerings you give to the LORD.

39 On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the produce of the land, you are to celebrate a feast to the LORD for seven days. There shall be complete rest on the first day and also on the eighth day.

40 On the first day you are to gather the fruit of majestic trees, the branches of palm trees, and the boughs of leafy trees and of willows of the brook. And you are to rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.

41 You are to celebrate this as a feast to the LORD for seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come; you are to celebrate it in the seventh month.

42 You are to dwell in booths for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must dwell in booths,

43 so that your descendants may know that I made the Israelites dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”

44 So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed feasts of the LORD.

1 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, [Concerning] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, [even] these [are] my feasts.

3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day [is] the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work [therein]: it [is] the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

4 ¶ These [are] the feasts of the LORD, [even] holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.

5 In the fourteenth [day] of the first month at even [is] the LORD'S passover.

6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month [is] the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.

7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.

8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].

9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:

11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

13 And the meat offering thereof [shall be] two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD [for] a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof [shall be] of wine, the fourth [part] of an hin.

14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

15 ¶ And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:

16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.

17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto the LORD.

18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be [for] a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, [even] an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.

19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits [for] a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.

21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, [that] it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work [therein: it shall be] a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.

23 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

25 Ye shall do no servile work [therein]: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

27 Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it [is] a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.

29 For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

30 And whatsoever soul [it be] that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.

31 Ye shall do no manner of work: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

32 It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

33 ¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month [shall be] the feast of tabernacles [for] seven days unto the LORD.

35 On the first day [shall be] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].

36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do no servile work [therein].

37 These [are] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:

38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.

39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day [shall be] a sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a sabbath.

40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.

41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. [It shall be] a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:

43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall call holy, and my feasts, when ye come together.

3 Six days shalt thou labour: but the seventh day is the great holy sabbath, when ye come together. No work shall ye do within: for it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

4 Now these are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall call holy feasts, when ye come together:

5 On the fourteenth day of the first month between evenings is the LORD'S passover.

6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: there ye shall eat bread unleavened seven days.

7 The first day shall be called holy among you, when ye come together: ye shall do no service there.

8 And offer unto the LORD seven days. The seventh day also shall be called holy, when ye come together; neither shall ye do any service there.

9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye come into the land which I will give you, and ye shall reap it, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest.

11 And the sheaf shall be woven before the LORD, that it may be acceptable unto you: and the priest shall do it on the morrow after the sabbath.

12 And ye shall offer a burnt offering unto the LORD in the day that your sheaf is woven, of a lamb that is without change, and of the first year,

13 And the meat offering, two tithes of fine flour mingled with oil, for an offering made to the LORD of a sweet savour; and the drink offering, a fourth part of an hin of wine.

14 And ye shall eat no new bread, nor sing, nor eat corn before, until the day that ye offer sacrifice unto your God. This shall be a statute unto your seed in all your dwellings.

15 And afterward ye shall count from the second day of the sabbath, when ye brought the sheaf, seven whole sabbaths;

16 Until the second day of the seventh sabbath, even fifty days, ye shall number them, and offer new meat offerings unto the LORD.

17 And ye shall offer out of all your dwellings two loaves of two tithes of fine flour, leavened and baked, for the firstfruits unto the LORD.

18 And ye shall bring beside your bread seven lambs of the first year without change, and a young bullock, and two rams. This shall be the LORD'S burnt offering, and his meat offering, and his drink offering: it is an offering of a sweet savour unto the LORD.

19 And ye shall offer one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a peace offering.

20 And the priest shall wave it, and the bread of the firstfruits, before the LORD, and the two lambs: and it shall be holy unto the LORD, and of the priest.

21 And ye shall proclaim this day, for it shall be called holy among you, when ye come together; ye shall do no service. A perpetual statute shall it be among your seed in all your dwellings.

22 But when ye reap your land, ye shall not cut it even in the field, neither shall ye gather it all up accurately, but ye shall leave it for the poor and for strangers. I am the LORD your God.

23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the first day of the seventh month ye shall keep the holy sabbath of blowing in remembrance, when ye come together.

25 Then ye shall do no service, and ye shall sacrifice unto the LORD.

26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

27 The tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement. And it shall be called holy unto you, that ye come together, and mortify your bodies, and offer them unto the LORD.

28 And ye shall do no work in this day: for it is the day of atonement, that ye may be reconciled before the LORD your God.

29 For whosoever shall not mortify his body in that day shall be cut off from among his people.

30 And whosoever shall do any work this day, him will I destroy from among his people.

31 Therefore ye shall do no work. This shall be a perpetual statute unto your seed in all your dwellings.

32 It is your great sabbath, that ye should mortify your bodies. On the ninth day of the month, at evening, you shall keep this Sabbath from evening until evening again.

33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying:

34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles seven days unto the LORD.

35 The first day shall be called holy, that ye come together: ye shall do no work of service.

36 Seven days ye shall sacrifice unto the LORD. The eighth day also shall be called holy, that ye should come together, and offer your sacrifice unto the LORD: for it is the day of meeting: ye shall do no work of service.

37 These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall keep holy, to come together, and to offer sacrifices unto the LORD, burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and drink offerings, and other sacrifices, every one according to his day,

38 Without which the sabbath of the LORD, and your gifts, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.

39 Now therefore on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have brought in the revenue of the land, ye shall keep the feast of the LORD seven days. On the first day it is the sabbath, and on the eighth day it is also the sabbath.

40 And ye shall take fruit of goodly trees the first day, and branches of palm trees, and may of thick trees, and pastures of brooks; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.

41 And ye shall keep the feast of the year unto the LORD seven days. This shall be a perpetual statute unto your seed, that they may keep the feast in the seventh month.

42 Seven days ye shall dwell in tabernacles: he that is a native of Israel shall dwell in tabernacles,

43 That your seed may know how I made the children of Israel dwell in tents, when I brought them up out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

44 And Moses told the children of Israel such feasts of the LORD.
