The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of Israel
and say to them, These are the appointed feasts of the LORD that
you shall proclaim as holy convocations; they are my appointed
feasts.
“Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath
of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work. It is a
Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwelling places.
“These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, the holy
convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for
them. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at
twilight, is the LORD's Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the
same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; for seven
days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall
have a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work. But
you shall present a food offering to the LORD for seven days. On
the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any
ordinary work.”
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of
Israel and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you
and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits
of your harvest to the priest, and he shall wave the sheaf before
the LORD, so that you may be accepted. On the day after the Sabbath
the priest shall wave it. And on the day when you wave the sheaf,
you shall offer a male lamb a year old without blemish as a burnt
offering to the LORD. And the grain offering with it shall be two
tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, a food offering to
the LORD with a pleasing aroma, and the drink offering with it
shall be of wine, a fourth of a hin. And you shall eat neither
bread nor grain parched or fresh until this same day, until you
have brought the offering of your God: it is a statute forever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
“You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath,
from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. You
shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then
you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the LORD. You
shall bring from your dwelling places two loaves of bread to be
waved, made of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour,
and they shall be baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the LORD.
And you shall present with the bread seven lambs a year old without
blemish, and one bull from the herd and two rams. They shall be a
burnt offering to the LORD, with their grain offering and their
drink offerings, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
And you shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male
lambs a year old as a sacrifice of peace offerings. And the priest
shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave
offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to
the LORD for the priest. And you shall make a proclamation on the
same day. You shall hold a holy convocation. You shall not do any
ordinary work. It is a statute forever in all your dwelling places
throughout your generations.
“And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap
your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings
after your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the
sojourner: I am the LORD your God.”
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of
Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the
month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial
proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation. You shall
not do any ordinary work, and you shall present a food offering to
the LORD.”
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Now on the tenth day of
this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be for you a
time of holy convocation, and you shall afflict yourselves and
present a food offering to the LORD. And you shall not do any work
on that very day, for it is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement
for you before the LORD your God. For whoever is not afflicted on
that very day shall be cut off from his people. And whoever does
any work on that very day, that person I will destroy from among
his people. You shall not do any work. It is a statute forever
throughout your generations in all your dwelling places. It shall
be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict
yourselves. On the ninth day of the month beginning at evening,
from evening to evening shall you keep your Sabbath.”
And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to the people of
Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month and for
seven days is the Feast of Booths to the LORD. On the first day
shall be a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work.
For seven days you shall present food offerings to the LORD. On the
eighth day you shall hold a holy convocation and present a food
offering to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you shall not do any
ordinary work.
“These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you shall
proclaim as times of holy convocation, for presenting to the LORD
food offerings, burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and
drink offerings, each on its proper day, besides the LORD's
Sabbaths and besides your gifts and besides all your vow offerings
and besides all your freewill offerings, which you give to the
LORD.
“On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have
gathered in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate the feast
of the LORD seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest,
and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. And you shall take on
the first day the fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees
and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall
rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. You shall celebrate it
as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It is a statute
forever throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the
seventh month. You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All native
Israelites shall dwell in booths, that your generations may know
that I made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought
them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.”
Thus Moses declared to the people of Israel the appointed feasts
of the LORD.
