Lev 23
1
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
2
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, The set feasts of YHWH, 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 YHWH in all your
dwellings.
4
These are the set feasts of YHWH, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim
in their appointed season.
5
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is YHWH`s passover.
6
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to YHWH:
seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7
In the first day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.
8
But you shall offer an offering made by fire to YHWH seven days: in the seventh day
is a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work.
9
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
10
Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you are 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:
11
and he shall wave the sheaf before YHWH, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after
the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12
And in the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a he-lamb without blemish
a year old for a burnt-offering to YHWH.
13
And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour
mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to YHWH for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering
thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14
And you shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame
day, until you have brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute for ever throughout
your generations in all your dwellings.
15
And you shall count to you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that you
brought the sheaf of the wave-offering; seven sabbaths shall there be complete:
16
even to the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall you number fifty days; and you
shall offer a new meal-offering to YHWH.
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 baken with leaven, for first-fruits
to YHWH.
18
And you shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one
young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt-offering to YHWH, with their meal-offering,
and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to YHWH.
19
And you shall offer one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs a year old for
a sacrifice of peace-offerings.
20
And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for a wave-offering
before YHWH, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to YHWH for the priest.
21
And you shall make proclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be a holy convocation
to you; you shall do no servile work: it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings
throughout your generations.
22
And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners
of your field, neither shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest: you shall leave
them for the poor, and for the sojourner: I am YHWH your God.
23
And YHWH 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 servile work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to YHWH.
26
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
27
Nevertheless 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 your souls; and you shall offer
an offering made by fire to YHWH.
28
And you shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement,
to make atonement for you before YHWH your God.
29
For whatever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be
cut off from his people.
30
And whatever soul it be that does any manner of work in that same day, that soul will
I destroy from among his people.
31
You shall do no manner of work: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations
in all your dwellings.
32
It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls: in
the ninth day of the month at even, from even to even, shall you keep your sabbath.
33
And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,
34
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month
is the feast of tabernacles for seven days to YHWH.
35
On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.
36
Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to YHWH: on the eighth day shall
be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to YHWH:
it is a solemn assembly; you shall do no servile work.
37
These are the set feasts of YHWH, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations,
to offer an offering made by fire to YHWH, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering,
a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;
38
besides the sabbaths of YHWH, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and
besides all your freewill-offerings, which you give to YHWH.
39
Nevertheless on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in
the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of YHWH seven days: on the first
day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.
40
And you shall take you 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
YHWH your God seven days.
41
And you shall keep it a feast to YHWH seven days in the year: it is a statute for
ever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month.
42
You shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home-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 YHWH your God.
44
And Moses declared to the children of Israel the set feasts of YHWH.
