The LORD spoke
again to Moses
, saying
,
"Speak to the sons
of Israel
and say
to them, ` aThe LORD'S
appointed
times
which
you shall bproclaim
as holy
convocations
--My appointed
times
are these
:
` aFor six days
work
may be done
, but on the seventh
day
there is a sabbath
of complete
rest
, a holy
convocation
. You shall not do
any
work
; it is a sabbath
to the LORD
in all
your dwellings
.
`These are the aappointed
times
of the LORD
, holy
convocations
which
you shall proclaim
at the times
appointed
for them.
` aIn the first month
, on the fourteenth
day of the month
1at twilight
is the LORD'S
Passover
.
`Then on the fifteenth day
of the same
month
there is the aFeast
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 anot do
any
laborious
work
.
`But for seven days
you shall present
an offering
by fire
to the LORD
. On the seventh
day
is a holy
convocation
; you shall not do
any
laborious
work
.' "
Then the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"Speak to the sons
of Israel
and say
to them, `When
you enter
the land
which
I am going to give
to you and areap
its harvest
, then you shall bring
in the sheaf
of the first
fruits
of your harvest
to the priest
.
`He shall wave the sheaf
before
the LORD
for you to be accepted
; on the day
after
the sabbath
the priest
shall wave
it.
`Now on the day when you wave
the sheaf
, you shall offer
a male
lamb
one year
old
without
defect
for a burnt
offering
to the LORD
.
`Its agrain offering shall then be two-tenths
of an ephah of fine
flour
mixed
with oil
, an offering
by fire
to the LORD
for a soothing
aroma
, with its drink
offering
, a fourth
of a 1hin
of wine
.
`Until this
same
day
, until
you have brought
in the offering
of your God
, ayou shall eat
neither
bread
nor
roasted
grain
nor
new
growth
. It is to be a perpetual
statute
throughout your generations
in all
your dwelling
places
.
` aYou shall also count for yourselves from the day
after
the sabbath
, from the day
when you brought
in the sheaf
of the wave
offering
; there shall be seven
complete
sabbaths
.
`You shall count fifty
days
to the day
after
the seventh
sabbath
; then you shall present
a anew
grain offering
to the LORD
.
`You shall bring in from your dwelling
places
two
loaves of bread
for a wave
offering
, made of two-tenths
of an 1ephah; they shall be of a fine
flour
, baked
awith leaven
as first
fruits
to the LORD
.
`Along with the bread
you shall present
seven
one year
old
male
lambs
without
defect
, and a bull
of the herd
and two
rams
; they are to be a burnt
offering
to the LORD
, with their grain offering
and their drink
offerings
, an offering
by fire
of a soothing
aroma
to the LORD
.
`You shall also offer aone
male
goat
for a sin
offering
and two
male
lambs
one year
old
for a sacrifice
of peace
offerings
.
`The priest shall then wave
them with the bread
of the first
fruits
for a wave
offering
with two
lambs
before
the LORD
; they are to be holy
to the LORD
for the priest
.
`On this same
day
you shall amake
a proclamation
as well; you are to have
a holy
convocation
. You shall do
no
laborious
bwork
. It is to be a perpetual
statute
in all
your dwelling
places
throughout your generations
.
` aWhen you reap the harvest
of your land
, moreover, you shall not reap
to the very corners
of your field
nor
gather
the gleaning
of your harvest
; you are to leave
them for the needy
and the alien
. I am the LORD
your God
.' "
Again the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"Speak to the sons
of Israel
, saying
, ` aIn the seventh
month
on the first
of the month
you shall have
a 1rest
, a breminder
by blowing
of trumpets, a holy
convocation
.
`You shall anot do any
laborious
work
, but you shall present
an offering
by fire
to the LORD
.' "
The LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"On exactly athe tenth
day of this
seventh
month
is bthe day
of atonement
; it shall be a holy
convocation
for you, and you shall humble
your souls
and present
an offering
by fire
to the LORD
.
"You shall not do any
work
on this
same
day
, for it is a aday
of atonement
, bto make
atonement
on your behalf
before
the LORD
your God
.
"If there is any
1person
who
will not humble
himself on this
same
day
, ahe shall be cut
off
from his people
.
"As for any person
who
does
any
work
on this
same
day
, that person
I will destroy
from among
his people
.
"You shall do no
work
at all
. It is to be a perpetual
statute
throughout your generations
in all
your dwelling
places
.
"It is to be a sabbath of complete
rest
to you, and you shall humble
your souls
; on the ninth
of the month
at evening
, from evening
until
evening
you shall keep
your sabbath
."
Again the LORD spoke
to Moses
, saying
,
"Speak to the sons
of Israel
, saying
, `On athe fifteenth
of this
seventh
month
is the bFeast
of Booths
for seven
days
to the LORD
.
`On the first day
is a holy
convocation
; you shall do
ano
laborious
work
of any
kind.
` aFor seven days
you shall present
an offering
by fire
to the LORD
. On bthe eighth
day
you shall have
a holy
convocation
and present
an offering
by fire
to the LORD
; it is an assembly
. You shall do
no
laborious
work
.
`These are athe appointed
times
of the LORD
which
you shall proclaim
as holy
convocations
, to present
offerings
by fire
to the LORD
--burnt
offerings
and grain offerings
, sacrifices
and drink
offerings
, beach day's
matter
on its own day
--
besides those of the sabbaths
of the LORD
, and besides
your gifts
and besides
all
your 1votive
and freewill
offerings
, which
you give
to the LORD
.
`On exactly the fifteenth
day
of the seventh
month
, awhen you have gathered
in the crops
of the land
, you shall celebrate
the feast
of the LORD
for seven
days
, with a 1rest
on the first
day
and a 1rest
on the eighth
day
.
`Now on the first day
you shall take
for yourselves the 1foliage
of beautiful
trees
, palm
branches
and boughs
of leafy
trees
and willows
of the brook
, and you shall rejoice
before
the LORD
your God
for seven
days
.
`You shall thus celebrate it as a feast
to the LORD
for seven
days
in the year
. It shall be a perpetual
statute
throughout your generations
; you shall celebrate
it in the seventh
month
.
`You shall 1live ain booths
for seven
days
; all
the native-born
in Israel
shall 1live
in booths
,
so that ayour generations
may know
that I had the sons
of Israel
live
in booths
when I brought
them out from the land
of Egypt
. I am the LORD
your God
.' "
So Moses declared
to the sons
of Israel
athe appointed
times
of the LORD
.
