Leviticus 23

1 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of theLord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.

3 Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto theLordin all your dwellings.

4 These are the set feasts of theLord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season.

5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is theLord’S passover.

6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto theLord: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread.

7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work.

8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto theLordseven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.

9 And theLordspake 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 the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:

11 and he shall wave the sheaf before theLord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

12 And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto theLord.

13 And the meal offering thereof shall be two tenth partsof an ephahof fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto theLordfor 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 fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your God: it is 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 there be complete:

16 even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal offering unto theLord.

17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth partsof an ephah: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baken with leaven, for firstfruits unto theLord.

18 And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt offering unto theLord, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto theLord.

19 And ye shall offer one he-goat for a sin offering, and two he-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 theLord, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to theLordfor the priest.

21 And ye shall make proclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work: it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them for the poor, and for the stranger: I am theLordyour God.

23 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

25 Ye shall do no servile work: and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto theLord.

26 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

27 Howbeit on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto theLord.

28 And ye shall do no manner of work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before theLordyour God.

29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.

30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people.

31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of solemn rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye keep your sabbath.

33 And theLordspake unto Moses, saying,

34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto theLord.

35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work.

36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto theLord: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto theLord: it is a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work.

37 These are the set feasts of theLord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto theLord, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day:

38 beside the sabbaths of theLord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto theLord.

39 Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of theLordseven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.

40 And ye shall take you on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before theLordyour God seven days.

41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto theLordseven days in the year: it is a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall keep it in the seventh month.

42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are homeborn in Israel 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 theLordyour God.

44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the set feasts of theLord.
