Chapter 23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel,
and say unto them, Concerning the feast of the Lord which ye shall proclaim to be
holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest,
and holy convocation.
Ye shall do no work therein.
It is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.
These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall
proclaim in their seasons.
In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's Passover,
and on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the
Lord.
Seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation.
Ye shall do no servile work therein, but ye shall offer an offering made by
fire unto the Lord seven days.
In the seventh day is an holy convocation.
Ye shall do no servile work therein.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 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 a sheaf of the
firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest, and he shall wave the sheaf before
the Lord to be accepted for you.
On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf, and he lamb without blemish,
of the first year for a burnt offering unto the Lord.
And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenths deals of fine flour mingled with
oil, an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savour.
And the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hen.
And ye shall eat neither bread nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame
day that ye have brought an offering unto your God.
It shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
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 be
complete.
Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number fifty days,
and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord.
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenths deals.
They shall be of fine flour.
They shall be bacon with leaven.
They are the first fruits unto the Lord.
And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year,
and one young bullock and two rams.
They shall be for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their meat offering and
their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire of sweet savour unto the
Lord.
Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of
the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave
offering before the Lord, with the two lambs.
They shall be holy to the Lord for the priest.
And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day that it may be an holy convocation unto
you.
Ye shall do no servile work therein.
It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the
corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of
thy harvest.
Thou shalt leave them unto the poor and to the stranger.
I am the Lord your God.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a Sabbath,
a memorial of blowing of trumpets, and holy convocation.
Ye shall do no servile work therein.
But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Also on the tenth day of this
seventh month there shall be a day of atonement.
It shall be an holy convocation unto you.
And ye shall afflict your souls and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
And ye shall do no work in that same day.
For it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your
God.
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day,
he shall be cut off from among his people.
And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will
I destroy from among his people.
Ye shall do no manner of work.
It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls.
In the ninth day of the month of Eden, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate
your sabbath.
And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel,
saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles
for seven days unto the Lord.
On the first day shall be an holy convocation.
Ye shall do no servile work therein.
Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
On the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall offer
an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
It is a solemn assembly, and ye shall do no servile work therein.
These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy
convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering,
and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, everything upon his
day, beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your
vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the Lord.
Also, in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit
of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days.
On the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm
trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and ye shall
rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.
And ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year.
It shall be a statute forever in your generations.
Ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days.
All that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths.
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 the Lord your God.
And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.
