Leviticus23

1Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:

2Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: The appointed times of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim as convocations of holiness — these are my appointed times.

3Six days work shall be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of sabbath observance, a convocation of holiness; you shall not do any work: it is a sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwelling places.

4These are the appointed times of Yahweh, the convocations of holiness, which you shall proclaim at their appointed time.

5In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, is the passover to Yahweh.

6And on the fifteenth day of this month is the festival of unleavened bread to Yahweh; seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

7On the first day there shall be a convocation of holiness for you; you shall not do any work of service.

8And you shall bring near a fire offering to Yahweh seven days; on the seventh day is a convocation of holiness; you shall not do any work of service.

9Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:

10Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you come into the land which I am giving you, and you reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first of your harvest to the priest.

11And he shall wave the sheaf before the face of Yahweh, for your acceptance; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

12And on the day you wave the sheaf you shall offer an unblemished lamb, a year old, as a burnt offering to Yahweh.

13And its grain offering: two tenths of fine flour mixed with oil, a fire offering to Yahweh, a soothing scent; and its drink offering: wine, a fourth of the hin.

14And bread, roasted grain, or fresh produce you shall not eat until this very day, until you bring the present of your God — a statute forever for your generations in all your dwelling places.

15And you shall count for yourselves, from the day after the sabbath, from the day you bring the sheaf of the waving offering, seven sabbaths; they shall be complete.

16Until the day after the seventh sabbath you shall count fifty days, and you shall bring near a new grain offering to Yahweh.

17From your dwelling places you shall bring bread as a waving offering, two loaves; of two tenths of fine flour they shall be; baked with leaven, as firstfruits to Yahweh.

18And together with the bread you shall bring near seven unblemished lambs, a year old, and one young bull of the herd, and two rams; they shall be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their grain offering and their drink offerings — a fire offering, a soothing scent to Yahweh.

19And you shall offer one male goat of the goats as a sin offering, and two lambs, a year old, as a sacrifice of peace offerings.

20And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a waving offering before the face of Yahweh, along with the two lambs; they shall be a holy thing to Yahweh, for the priest.

21And you will call on this very day a convocation of holiness; it will be to you. You will not do any work of service — a statute forever in all your dwelling places, throughout your generations.

22And when you reap the harvest of your land, you will not finish the corner of your field in your reaping, and the gleanings of your harvest you will not gather up; you will leave them for the poor and for the sojourner. I am Yahweh your God.

23Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:

24Speak to the children of Israel, saying: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you will have a sabbath, a memorial of the shout, a convocation of holiness.

25You will not do any work of service, and you will bring near a fire offering to Yahweh.

26Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:

27Only on the tenth of this seventh month — it is the day of atonements. It will be a convocation of holiness for you; and you will afflict your living beings, and you will bring near a fire offering to Yahweh.

28And you will not do any work on this very day, for it is a day of atonements, to cover over you before the face of Yahweh your God.

29For any living being who is not afflicted on this very day will be cut off from her people.

30And any living being who does any work on this very day — I will destroy that living being from the midst of her people.

31You will not do any work — a statute forever to your generations in all your dwelling places.

32It is a sabbath of sabbath observance for you, and you will afflict your living beings; on the ninth of the month, in the evening, from evening until evening, you will cease your sabbath.

33Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:

34Speak to the children of Israel, saying: On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the festival of shelters, seven days, for Yahweh.

35On the first day is a convocation of holiness; you will not do any work of service.

36Seven days you will bring near a fire offering to Yahweh; on the eighth day there will be a convocation of holiness for you, and you will bring near a fire offering to Yahweh. It is an assembly; you will not do any work of service.

37These are the appointed times of Yahweh, which you will call them convocations of holiness, to bring near a fire offering to Yahweh: a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, the word of a day on its day.

38Apart from the sabbaths of Yahweh, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your freewill offerings, which you give to Yahweh.

39Only on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather the harvest of the land, you will celebrate the festival of Yahweh seven days; on the first day a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath.

40And you will take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of a tree of splendor, fronds of palm trees, and a bough of a leafy tree, and willows of the wadi; and you will rejoice before the face of Yahweh your God seven days.

41And you will celebrate it as a festival to Yahweh seven days in the year — a statute forever to your generations; in the seventh month you will celebrate it.

42In shelters you will dwell seven days; every native-born in Israel will dwell in shelters,

43so that your generations will know that in shelters I caused the children of Israel to dwell when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.

44And Moses spoke the appointed times of Yahweh to the children of Israel.
