Wayyiqra (Leviticus) 23
23
1And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
2“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘The appointed times of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My appointed times, are these:
3‘Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a set-apart gathering. You do no work, it is a Sabbath to יהוה in all your dwellings.
4‘These are the appointed times of יהוה, set-apart gatherings which you are to proclaim at their appointed times.
5‘In the first new moon, on the fourteenth day of the new moon, between the evenings, is the Pĕsaḥ#Passover to יהוה.
6‘And on the fifteenth day of this new moon is the Festival of Matzot#Unleavened Bread to יהוה – seven days you eat unleavened bread.
7‘On the first day you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.
8‘And you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה for seven days. On the seventh day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.’ ”
9And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
10“Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest.
11‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it.
12‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a male lamb a year old, a perfect one, as an ascending offering to יהוה,
13and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to יהוה, a sweet fragrance, and its drink offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine.
14‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed Sabbaths.
16‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה.
17‘Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread, of two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven, first-fruits to יהוה.
18‘And besides the bread, you shall bring seven lambs a year old, perfect ones, and one young bull and two rams. They are an ascending offering to יהוה, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet fragrance to יהוה.
19‘And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old, as a slaughter of peace offerings.
20‘And the priest shall wave them, besides the bread of the first-fruits, as a wave offering before יהוה, besides the two lambs. They are set-apart to יהוה for the priest.
21‘And on this same day you shall proclaim a set-apart gathering for yourselves, you do no servile work on it – a law forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22‘And when you reap the harvest of your land do not completely reap the corners of your field when you reap, and do not gather any gleaning from your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ”
23And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
24Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘In the seventh new moon, on the first day of the new moon, you have a rest, a remembrance of Teru‛ah,#Lit. Soundings, by instrument or human voice.
25‘You do no servile work, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.’ ”
26And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
27On the tenth day of this seventh new moon is Yom haKippurim.#Day of Atonement or Day of the Coverings. It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.
28“And you do no work on that same day, for it is Yom Kippurim, to make atonement for you before יהוה your Elohim.
29“For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.
30“And any being who does any work on that same day, that being I shall destroy from the midst of his people.
31“You do no work – a law forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings. On the ninth day of the new moon at evening, from evening to evening, you observe your Sabbath.”
33And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
34Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh new moon is the Festival of Sukkot#Booths. for seven days to יהוה.
35‘On the first day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.
36‘For seven days you bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. On the eighth day there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. It is a closing festival, you do no servile work.
37‘These are the appointed times of יהוה which you proclaim as set-apart gatherings, to bring an offering made by fire to יהוה, an ascending offering and a grain offering, a slaughtering and drink offerings, as commanded for every day –
38besides the Sabbaths of יהוה, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings which you give to יהוה.
39‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh new moon, when you gather in the fruit of the land, celebrate the festival of יהוה for seven days. On the first day is a rest, and on the eighth day a rest.
40‘And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of good trees, branches of palm trees, twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the stream, and shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim for seven days.
41‘And you shall celebrate it as a festival to יהוה for seven days in the year – a law forever in your generations. Celebrate it in the seventh new moon.
42‘Dwell in booths for seven days; all who are native born in Yisra’ĕl dwell in booths,
43so that your generations know that I made the children of Yisra’ĕl dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה your Elohim.’ ”
44Thus did Mosheh speak of the appointed times of יהוה to the children of Yisra’ĕl.

Leviticus 23
23
1The Lord told Moses, 2“Tell the Israelites that these are my religious festivals, the festivals of the Lord that you are to call as the holy times when we meet together. 3You have six days to work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy day of meeting together. Don't do any work. It is the Lord's Sabbath everywhere you live.
4These are the Lord's religious festivals, the holy meetings that you are to announce at their specific times. 5The Lord's Passover starts on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month. 6The Lord's Festival of Unleavened Bread begins on the fifteenth day of the first month. For seven days the bread you eat must be made without yeast. 7On the first day you are to hold a holy meeting. You must not do any of your usual work. 8For seven days you shall present food offerings to the Lord. There is to be a holy meeting on the seventh day. You must not do any of your usual work.”
9The Lord told Moses, 10“Tell the Israelites that when you enter the land that I'm giving you and you harvest your crops, take a stack of grain from the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. 11He will wave the stack of grain before the Lord so that it may be accepted on your behalf. The priest is to do this the day following the Sabbath. 12When you wave the stack of grain, you are to present a one-year-old lamb without defects as a burnt offering to the Lord, 13together with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of the best flour mixed with olive oil (a food offering to the Lord to be accepted by him) and its drink offering of a quarter of a hin of wine. 14Don't eat any bread, roasted grain, or new grain until the time you bring this offering to your God. This regulation is for all time and for future generations everywhere you live.
15Count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath—the day you brought the stack of grain as a wave offering. 16Count fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath, and on that day present an offering of new grain to the Lord. 17Bring two loaves of bread from your homes as a wave offering. Make them from two-tenths of an ephah of the best flour, baked with yeast, as the firstfruits to the Lord. 18As well as the bread, present seven one-year-old male lambs without defects, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the Lord, as well as their grain offerings and drink offerings, a food offering to the Lord to be accepted by him. 19Present one male goat as a sin offering and two one-year-old male lambs as a peace offering. 20The priest will wave the lambs as a wave offering before the Lord, along with the bread of the firstfruits. The bread and the two lambs are holy to the Lord and belong to the priest. 21That same day you are to announce a holy meeting, and you must not do any of your usual work. This regulation is for all time and for future generations everywhere you live.
22When you harvest the crops grown on your land, don't harvest right up to the edges of your field, or collect what has been missed. Leave them for the poor people and foreigners. I am the Lord your God.”
23The Lord told Moses, 24“Tell the Israelites that on the first day of the seventh month you are to have a special Sabbath of complete rest, a holy meeting that is announced by the sound of trumpets. 25Don't do any of your usual work; instead you are to present a food offering to the Lord.”
26The Lord told Moses, 27“The Day of Atonement is on the tenth day of this seventh month. You are to have a holy meeting, deny yourselves,#23:27. “Deny yourselves”: this is usually taken to mean fasting and the avoidance of pleasures. and present a food offering to the Lord 28On this day you must not do any of your usual work because it is the Day of Atonement, when things are made right for you before the Lord your God. 29Anyone who does not practice self-denial on this day must be expelled from their people. 30I will destroy anyone of you who does any work on this day. 31Don't do any kind of work at all. This regulation is for all time and for future generations everywhere you live. 32It is to be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall practice self-denial. You are to observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until evening the next day.”
33The Lord told Moses, 34“Tell the Israelites that the Feast of Tabernacles to honor the Lord begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month and lasts for seven days. 35On the first day have a holy meeting. You must not do any of your usual work. 36For seven days you shall present food offerings to the Lord. On the eighth day you are to have another holy meeting and present a food offering to the Lord. It is a meeting for worship. You must not do any of your usual work.
37These are the Lord's holy festivals, which you are to announce as holy meetings for presenting food offerings to the Lord. These include burnt offerings, grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each according to the specific day. 38All of these offerings are in addition to those for the Lord's Sabbaths. They are also in addition to your gifts, to all your offerings to fulfill promises, and to all the freewill offerings you present to the Lord.
39You shall celebrate a feast to honor the Lord for seven days on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, once you have harvested your crops. The first day and the eighth day are Sabbaths of complete rest. 40On the first day you are to gather branches from large trees, from palm trees, from leafy trees and of river willows, and celebrate before the Lord your God for seven days. 41You are to hold this festival to honor the Lord for seven days every year. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
42You are to live in temporary shelters#23:42. Made from the tree branches mentioned in verse 40. for seven days. Every Israelite born in the country must live in shelters, 43so that your descendants will remember that I made the Israelites live in shelters when I led them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.”
44So Moses told the Israelites all about the Lord's festivals.
