Leviticus 23

CLV(i) 1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. 2 Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, The appointed seasons of Yahweh, those which you shall proclaim holy meetings; My appointed seasons, they are these. 3 Six days shall work be done, yet on the seventh day there shall be a sabbath of cessation, a holy meeting. You shall do no work at all. This is a sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings. 4 These are the appointed seasons of Yahweh, the holy meetings, those which you shall proclaim at their appointed time. 5 In the first month on the fourteenth day of the month between the evening hours, is the passover to Yahweh. 6 And on the fifteenth day of this month is the celebration of unleavened cakes to Yahweh. Seven days shall you eat unleavened cakes. 7 On the first day you shall come to have a holy meeting, when you shall do no occupational work at all. 8 And you shall bring near a fire offering to Yahweh seven days. On the seventh day is a holy meeting, when you shall do no occupational work at all. 9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. 10 Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land which I am giving to you and reap its harvest, you will bring a sheaf of the firstfruit of your harvest to the priest. 11 He will wave the sheaf before Yahweh for acceptance on your behalf. From the morrow after the first sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 On the day when you cause the sheaf to wave you will offer a flawless year-old he-lamb as an ascent offering to Yahweh, 13 together with its approach present of two tenths of an ephah of flour mingled with oil, a fire offering to Yahweh, a fragrant odor, and its libation of wine, a fourth of a hin. 14 No bread or toasted grain or groats of the crop shall you eat until this very day, until you bring the approach present of your Elohim. It shall be an eonian statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 15 You will count off for yourselves from the morrow after the first sabbath, from the day you bring the sheaf of the wave offering:there shall be seven flawless sabbaths. 16 Until the morrow after the seventh sabbath you shall count off fifty days; then you will bring near an approach present of new grain to Yahweh. 17 From your dwellings shall you bring bread as a wave offering:two loaves, of two tenths of an ephah of flour shall they be; baked with leaven shall they be, as firstfruits for Yahweh. 18 And you will bring near with the bread seven flawless year-old he-lambs, and one young bull calf of the herd and two flawless rams. They shall be an ascent offering to Yahweh together with their approach present and their libations, a fire offering of fragrant odor to Yahweh. 19 And you will offer one hairy goat as a sin offering and two year-old he-lambs as a sacrifice of peace offerings. 20 Then the priest will wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before Yahweh with the two he-lambs. Holy shall they be to Yahweh for the priest. 21 And you will proclaim a meeting on this very day. It shall be holy for you. You shall do no occupational work at all; it shall be an eonian statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 22 When you reap the harvest of your land you shall not finish the edges of your field when you reap, and the gleaning of your harvest you shall not glean. For the humble and for the sojourner shall you forsake them:I, Yahweh, am your Elohim. 23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. 24 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month on day one of the month there shall be a cessation for you with a memorial trumpet blasting, a holy meeting. 25 You shall do no occupational work at all and shall bring near a fire offering to Yahweh. 26 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. 27 Then on the tenth of this seventh month, it is the day of propitiatory shelters. It shall be a holy meeting for you, and you will humble your souls and bring near a fire offering to Yahweh. 28 You shall do no work at all on this very day, for it the day of propitiatory shelters so as to make a propitiatory shelter over you before Yahweh your Elohim. 29 For every soul who is not humbled on this very day will be cut off from his kinsmen. 30 And every soul who does any work on this very day, I will destroy that soul from among his people. 31 You shall do no work at all. It is an eonian statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It is a sabbath of cessation for you, and you will humble your souls. On the ninth day of the month in the evening, from evening until evening shall you cease for your sabbath. 33 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying. 34 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, From the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the celebration of booths seven days to Yahweh. 35 On the first day is a holy meeting; you shall do no occupational work at all. 36 Seven days shall you bring near a fire offering to Yahweh and on the eighth day there shall be a holy meeting for you, and you will bring near a fire offering to Yahweh. It is a day of restraint. You shall do no occupational work at all. 37 These are the appointed seasons of Yahweh, those which you shall proclaim as holy meetings, to bring near the fire offering to Yahweh, the ascent offering and the approach present, the sacrifice and the libations, each day's matter in its day, 38 aside from the sabbaths of Yahweh and aside from your gifts and aside from all your vows and aside from all your voluntary offerings which you shall give to Yahweh. 39 On the fifteenth day of the seventh month after you have gathered the yield of the land, you shall celebrate the celebration of Yahweh for seven days. On the first day there is a cessation and on the eighth day a cessation. 40 You will take for yourselves on the first day fruit of goodly trees, fronds of palms and boughs of leafy trees, and oleanders of the watercourse, and you will rejoice before Yahweh your Elohim for seven days. 41 You will celebrate it as a celebration to Yahweh for seven days in the year. It shall be an eonian statute throughout your generations. In the seventh month shall you celebrate it. 42 In booths shall you dwell seven days, that is, every native in Israel; they shall dwell in booth. 43 that your generations may know that in booths I made the sons of Israel dwell when I brought them forth from the land of Egypt:I, Yahweh, am your Elohim. 44 Thus Moses spoke of the appointed seasons of Yahweh to the sons of Israel.
