“1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, [Concerning] the feasts of the LORD, which ye
shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations, [even] these [are] my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day [is] the sabbath of
rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work [therein]: it [is] the
sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.”
“4 These [are] the feasts of the LORD, [even] holy convocations, which
ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 5 In the fourteenth [day] of the
first month at even [is] the LORD’S passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day
of the same month [is] the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD:
seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. 7 In the first day ye shall
have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 8 But ye
shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the
seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
[therein]. 9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10 Speak unto the
children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land
which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall
bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: 11 And
he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the
morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And ye shall offer
that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first
year for a burnt offering unto the LORD. 13 And the meat offering
thereof [shall be] two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an
offering made by fire unto the LORD [for] a sweet savour: and the drink
offering thereof [shall be] of wine, the fourth [part] of an hin. 14 And
ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the
selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: [it shall
be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your
dwellings.”
“15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath,
from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven
sabbaths shall be complete: 16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh
sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat
offering unto the LORD. 17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two
wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall
be baken with leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto the LORD. 18 And
ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first
year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be [for] a burnt
offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink
offerings, [even] an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the
LORD. 19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin
offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace
offerings. 20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the
firstfruits [for] a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs:
they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. 21 And ye shall proclaim
on the selfsame day, [that] it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye
shall do no servile work [therein: it shall be] a statute for ever in
all your dwellings throughout your generations. 22 And when ye reap the
harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners
of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning
of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the
stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.”
“23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 24 Speak unto the children
of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the
month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an
holy convocation. 25 Ye shall do no servile work [therein]: but ye shall
offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 26 And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying, 27 Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there
shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you;
and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto
the LORD. 28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it [is] a day
of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. 29
For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted in that same
day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 30 And whatsoever soul
[it be] that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I
destroy from among his people. 31 Ye shall do no manner of work: [it
shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your
dwellings. 32 It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall
afflict your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from even
unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.”
“33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 34 Speak unto the children
of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month [shall be]
the feast of tabernacles [for] seven days unto the LORD. 35 On the first
day [shall be] an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
[therein]. 36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto
the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and
ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a solemn
assembly; [and] ye shall do no servile work [therein]. 37 These [are]
the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim [to be] holy
convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt
offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every
thing upon his day: 38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your
gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings,
which ye give unto the LORD. 39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh
month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a
feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day [shall be] a sabbath,
and on the eighth day [shall be] a sabbath. 40 And ye shall take you on
the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and
the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall
rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. 41 And ye shall keep it a
feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. [It shall be] a statute for
ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born 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] the LORD your God. 44 And Moses declared unto the
children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.” (Le 23:1-44 AV)
