1The 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 .
5In the first month , on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening , is the LORD ’s Passover .
6On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD . Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread .
7In the first day you shall have a holy convocation . You shall do no regular work .
8But 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 .’”
9The 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 .
11He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD , to be accepted for you . On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it .
12On 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 .
13The meal offering with it shall be two tenths of an efah 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 .[#23:13 1 efah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel; #23:13 A hin is about 6.5 litres or 1.7 gallons.]
14You 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.
16The next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days ; and you shall offer a new meal offering to the LORD .
17You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenths of an efah of fine flour . They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to the LORD .[#23:17 1 efah is about 22 litres or about 2/3 of a bushel]
18You 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 .
19You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering , and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings .
20The 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 .
21You 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 .’”
23The 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 shofars, a holy convocation .[#23:24 or, trumpets]
25You shall do no regular work . You shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD .’”
26The LORD spoke to Moses , saying ,
27“However on the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur. It shall be a holy convocation to you . You shall afflict yourselves and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD .
28You shall do no kind of work in that same day , for it is Yom Kippur, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God .[#23:28 a day of atonement]
29For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day shall be cut off from his people .
30Whoever does any kind of work in that same day , I will destroy that person from amongst his people .
31You shall do no kind of work : it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings .
32It 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 .”
33The 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 .[#23:34 or, feast of booths, or Succoth]
35On the first day shall be a holy convocation . You shall do no regular work .
36Seven 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 —
38in 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 .
40You 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 .
41You 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 .
42You shall dwell in temporary shelters for seven days . All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in temporary shelters ,[#23:42 or, booths; #23:42 or, booths]
43that 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 .’”[#23:43 or, booths]
44So Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of the LORD .
