1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and
tell them, ‘The set feasts of Yahweh, 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 manner of work. It is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your
dwellings.
4 “‘These are the set feasts of Yahweh, 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 Yahweh’s Passover.
6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread
to Yahweh. 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 Yahweh seven
days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no regular
work.’”
9 Yahweh 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 the harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of
the first fruits of your harvest to the priest: 11 and he shall wave the
sheaf before Yahweh, 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 blemish a year old for a burnt
offering to Yahweh. 13 The meal offering with it shall be two tenth parts
of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire
to Yahweh for a sweet savor; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine,
the fourth part of a hin. 14 You shall eat neither bread, nor roasted
grain, nor 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 even to the next
day after the seventh Sabbath you shall number fifty days; and you
shall offer a new meal offering to Yahweh. 17 You shall bring out of
your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah: they
shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to
Yahweh. 18 You shall present with the bread seven lambs without
blemish a year old, one young bull, and two rams. Yhey shall be a burnt
offering to Yahweh, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even
an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yahweh. 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 Yahweh, with the two lambs.
They shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest. 21 You shall make
proclamation on the same day: 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 shall not wholly reap into the corners of your field, neither
shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest: you shall leave them for the
poor, and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.’”
23 Yahweh spoke to
Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh
month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a
memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall do
no regular work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.’”
26 Yahweh 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,
and you shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering
made by fire to Yahweh. 28 You shall do no manner of work in that
same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before
Yahweh 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 it is
who does any manner of work in that same day, that person I will destroy from
among his people. 31 You shall do no manner 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 Yahweh 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 tents for seven days to Yahweh. 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 Yahweh. On the eighth day
shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made
by fire to Yahweh. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular
work.
37 “‘These are the appointed feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim
to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, a burnt
offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its
own day; 38 besides the Sabbaths of Yahweh, and besides your gifts, and
besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings, which
you give to Yahweh.
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 Yahweh 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 goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and
boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice
before Yahweh your God seven days. 41 You shall keep it a feast to
Yahweh 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 booths seven days. All who are native-born in Israel 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 Yahweh your God.’”
44 Moses declared to the children of Israel
the appointed feasts of Yahweh.
