1
And the Lord spoke to Moses , saying:
2
Speak to the children of Israel , and thou shalt say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord , which you shall call holy .
3
Six days shall ye do work : the seventh day , because it is the rest of the sabbath , shall be called holy . You shall do no work on that day : it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations.
4
These also are the holy days of the Lord , which you must celebrate in their seasons.
5
The first month , the fourteenth day of the month at evening , is the phase of the Lord :
6
And the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord . Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread .
7
The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy : you shall do no servile work therein:
8
But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days . And the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy : and you shall do no servile work therein.
9
And the Lord spoke to Moses , saying:
10
Speak to the children of Israel , and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest:
11
Who shall lift up the shed before the Lord , the next day after the sabbath , that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.
12
And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of the Lord .
13
And the libations shall be offered with it, two tenths of hour tempered with oil for a burnt offering of the Lord , and a most sweet odour : libations also of wine , the fourth part of a hin .
14
You shall not eat either bread , or parched corn, or frumenty of the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God . It is a precept for ever throughout your generations , and all your dwellings .
15
You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath , wherein you offered the sheaf of the firstfruits, seven full weeks.
16
Even unto the marrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say , fifty days , and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord .
17
Out of all your dwellings , two leaves of the firstfruits, of two tenths of flour leavened , which you shall bake for the firstfruits of the Lord .
18
And you shall offer with the leaves seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one calf from the herd , and two rams , and they shall be for a holocaust with their libations far a most sweet odour to the Lord .
19
You shall offer also a buck goat for sin , and two lambs of the first year for sacrifices of peace offerings .
20
And when the priest hath lifted them up with the leaves of the firstfruits before the Lord , they shall fall to his use.
21
And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy . You shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwellings and generations .
22
And when you reap the corn of your land , you shall not cut it to the very ground : neither shall you gather the ears that remain; but you shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers . I am the Lord your God .
23
And the Lord spoke to Moses , saying:
24
Say to the children of Israel : The seventh month , on the first day of the month , you shall keep a sabbath, a memorial , with she sound of trumpets, and it shall be called holy .
25
You shall do no servile work therein, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord .
26
And the Lord spoke to Moses , saying:
27
Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement , it shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy : and you shall afflict your souls on that day , and shall offer a holocaust to the Lord .
28
You shall do no servile work in the time of this day : because it is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto you.
29
Every soul that is not afflicted on this day , shall perish from among his people:
30
And every soul that shall do any work , the same will I destroy from among his people.
31
You shall do no work therefore on that day: it shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you in all your generations , and dwellings .
32
It is a sabbath of rest, and you shell afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month : from evening until evening you shall celebrate your sabbaths .
33
And the Lord spoke to Moses , saying:
34
Say to the children of Israel : From the fifteenth day of this same seventh month , shall be kept the feast of tabernacles seven days to the Lord .
35
The first day shall be called most solemn and most holy : you shall do no servile work therein. And seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord.
36
The eighth day also shall be most solemn and most holy , and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord : for it is the day of assembly and congregation: you shall do no servile work therein.
37
These are the feasts of the Lord , which you shall call most solemn and most holy , and shall offer on them oblations to the Lord , holocausts and libations according to the rite of every day ,
38
Besides the sabbaths of the Lord , and your gifts, and those things that you offer by vow, or which you shall give to the Lord voluntarily.
39
So from the fifteenth day of the seventh month , when you shall have gathered in all the fruits of your land , you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days : on the first day and the eighth shall be a sabbath , that is a day of rest.
40
And you shall take to you on the first day the fruits of the fairest tree , and branches of palm trees , and boughs of thick trees , and willows of the brook , and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God .
41
And you shall keep the solemnity thereof seven days in the year. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations . In the seventh month shall you celebrate this feast.
42
And you shall dwell in bowers seven days : every one that is of the race of Israel , shall dwell in tabernacles :
43
That your posterity may know , that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tabernacles , when I brought them out of the land of Egypt . I am the Lord your God .
44
And Moses spoke concerning the feasts of the Lord to the children of Israel .
