Leviticus 23
23
1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.
3Six days shall ye do work: the seventh day, because it is the rest of the sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations.
4These also are the holy days of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their seasons.
5The first month, the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is the phase of the Lord.
6And the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
7The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall do no servile work therein.
8But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no servile work therein.
9And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
10Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest.
11Who shall lift up the sheaf before the Lord, the next day after the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.
12And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of the Lord.
13And the libations shall be offered with it, two tenths of hour tempered with oil, for a burnt-offering of the Lord, and a most sweet odour. Libations also of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14You shall not eat either bread, or parched corn, or frumenty of the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God. It is a precept for ever throughout your generations, and all your dwellings.
15You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath, wherein you offered the sheaf of the first-fruits, seven full weeks.
16Even unto the morrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say, fifty days: and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord.
17Out of all your dwellings, two loaves of the first-fruits, of two tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of the Lord.
18And you shall offer with the loaves seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and two rams: and they shall be for a holocaust with their libations far a most sweet odour to the Lord.
19You shall offer also a buck-goat for sin, and two lambs of the first year for sacrifices of peace-offerings.
20And when the priest hath lifted them up with the loaves of the first-fruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use.
21And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy. You shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwellings and generations.
22And when you reap the corn of your land, you shall not cut it to the very ground: neither shall you gather the ears that remain. But you shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers. I am the Lord your God.
23And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
24Say to the children of Israel: The seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall keep a sabbath, a memorial, with the sound of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.
25You shall do no servile work therein, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
26And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement. It shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy: and you shall afflict your souls on that day, and shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
28You shall do no servile work in the time of this day: because it is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto you.
29Every soul that is not afflicted on this day shall perish from among his people.
30And every soul that shall do any work, the same will I destroy from among his people.
31You shall do no work therefore on that day: it shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you in all your generations, and dwellings.
32It is a sabbath of rest, and you shell afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month: from evening until evening you shall celebrate your sabbaths.
33And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
34Say to the children of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this same seventh month shall be kept the feast of tabernacles, seven days to the Lord.
35The first day shall be called most solemn and most holy: you shall do no servile work therein. And seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord.
36The eighth day also shall be most solemn and most holy: and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. For it is the day of assembly and congregation. You shall do no servile work therein.
37These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most solemn and most holy, and shall offer on them oblations to the Lord: holocausts and libations according to the rite of every day,
38Besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and your gifts, and those things that you offer by vow, or which you shall give to the Lord voluntarily.
39So from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you shall have gathered in all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days. On the first day and the eighth shall be a sabbath: that is a day of rest.
40And you shall take to you on the first day the fruits of the fairest tree, and branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook: and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God.
41And you shall keep the solemnity thereof seven days in the year. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh month shall you celebrate this feast.
42And you shall dwell in bowers seven days. Every one that is of the race of Israel shall dwell in tabernacles:
43That your posterity may know, that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tabernacles, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
44And Moses spoke concerning the feasts of the Lord to the children of Israel.

Leviticus 23
23
1And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations — these are my set feasts. 3Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; no manner of work shall ye do: it is the sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.
4These are the set feasts of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons: 5In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the two evenings, is the passover to Jehovah. 6And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened bread to Jehovah; seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread. 7On the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do. 8And ye shall present to Jehovah an offering by fire seven days; on the seventh day is a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do. 9And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 10Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When ye come into the land that I give unto you, and ye reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest unto the priest. 11And he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you; on the next day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf, a he-lamb without blemish, a yearling, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah; 13and the oblation thereof: two tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering by fire to Jehovah for a sweet odour; and the drink-offering thereof, of wine, a fourth part of a hin. 14And ye shall not eat bread, or roast corn, or green ears, until the same day that ye have brought the offering of your God#GodHebrew: Elohim it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15And ye shall count from the morning after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-offering, seven weeks; they shall be complete; 16even unto the morning after the seventh sabbath shall ye count fifty days; and ye shall present a new oblation to Jehovah. 17Out of your dwellings shall ye bring two wave-loaves, of two tenths of fine flour; with leaven shall they be baken; as first-fruits to Jehovah. 18And ye shall present with the bread seven he-lambs without blemish, yearlings, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt-offering to Jehovah with their oblation, and their drink-offerings, an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah. 19And ye shall sacrifice one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs, yearlings, for a sacrifice of peace-offering. 20And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits as a wave-offering before Jehovah, with the two he-lambs; they shall be holy to Jehovah, for the priest. 21And ye shall make proclamation on that same day — a holy convocation shall it be unto you: no manner of servile work shall ye do: it is an everlasting statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 22And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not in thy harvest entirely reap the corners of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest shalt thou not gather: thou shalt leave them unto the poor and to the stranger: I am Jehovah your God#GodHebrew: Elohim
23And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 24Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, shall ye have a rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25No manner of servile work shall ye do; and ye shall present an offering by fire to Jehovah. 26And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 27Also on the tenth of this seventh month is the day of the atonement: a holy convocation shall it be unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and present an offering by fire to Jehovah. 28And ye shall do no manner of work on that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Jehovah your God#GodHebrew: Elohim 29For every soul that is not afflicted on that same day, shall be cut off from among his peoples. 30And every soul that doeth any manner of work on that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. 31No manner of work shall ye do: it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32A sabbath of rest shall it be unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls. On the ninth of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying, 34Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths seven days to Jehovah. 35On the first day there shall be a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do. 36Seven days ye shall present an offering by fire to Jehovah; on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall present an offering by fire to Jehovah: it is a solemn assembly; no manner of servile work shall ye do. 37These are the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present an offering by fire to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and an oblation, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, everything upon its day; 38besides the sabbaths of Jehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings, which ye give to Jehovah. 39But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the produce of the land, ye shall celebrate the feast of Jehovah seven days: on the first day there shall be rest, and on the eighth day there shall be rest. 40And ye shall take on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, palm branches and the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God#GodHebrew: Elohim seven days. 41And ye shall celebrate it as a feast to Jehovah seven days in the year: it is an everlasting statute throughout your generations; in the seventh month shall ye celebrate it. 42In booths shall ye dwell seven days; all born in Israel shall dwell in booths; 43that your generations may know that I caused the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God#GodHebrew: Elohim 44And Moses declared the set feasts of Jehovah to the children of Israel.
