Leviticus, Chapter 23

23:1 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23:2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, The set feasts of Yahweh, which you+ will proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
23:3 Six days will work be done: but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you+ will do no manner of work: it is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your+ dwellings.
23:4 These are the set feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations, which you+ will proclaim in their appointed season.
23:5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is Yahweh's Passover.
23:6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Yahweh: seven days you+ will eat unleavened bread.
23:7 In the first day you+ will have a holy convocation: you+ will do no servile work.
23:8 But you+ will offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh seven days: in the seventh day is a holy convocation; you+ will do no servile work.
23:9 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23:10 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When you+ come into the land which I give to you+, and will reap its harvest, then you+ will bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your+ harvest to the priest:
23:11 and he will wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you+: on the next day after the Sabbath the priest will wave it.
23:12 And in the day when you+ wave the sheaf, you+ will offer a he-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt-offering to Yahweh.
23:13 And the meal-offering of it will be two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering of it will be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
23:14 And you+ will eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this very same day, until you+ have brought the oblation of your+ God: it is a statute forever throughout your+ generations in all your+ dwellings.
23:15 And you+ will count to yourselves from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you+ brought the sheaf of the wave-offering; there will be seven complete Sabbaths:
23:16 even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath you+ will number fifty days; and you+ will offer a new meal-offering to Yahweh.
23:17 From your+ habitations you+ will bring bread as a wave offering: two [loaves] of two tenth parts [of an ephah]: they will be of fine flour, they will be baked with leaven, for first fruits to Yahweh.
23:18 And you+ will present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bull, and two rams: they will be a burnt-offering to Yahweh, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.
23:19 And you+ will offer one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace-offerings.
23:20 And the priest will wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave-offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs: they will be holy to Yahweh for the priest.
23:21 And you+ will make proclamation on the very same day; there will be a holy convocation to you+; you+ will do no servile work: it is a statute forever in all your+ dwellings throughout your+ generations.
23:22 And when you+ reap the harvest of your+ land, you will not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither will you gather the gleaning of your harvest: you will leave them for the poor, and for the sojourner: I am Yahweh your+ God.
23:23 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23:24 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, will be a solemn rest to you+, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
23:25 You+ will do no servile work; and you+ will offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
23:26 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23:27 Nevertheless on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it will be a holy convocation to you+, and you+ will afflict your+ souls; and you+ will offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
23:28 And you+ will do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you+ before Yahweh your+ God.
23:29 For whatever soul it is that will not be afflicted in that same day; he will be cut off from his relatives.
23:30 And whatever soul it is that does any manner of work in that same day, that soul I will destroy from among his people.
23:31 You+ will do no manner of work: it is a statute forever throughout your+ generations in all your+ dwellings.
23:32 It will be to you+ a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you+ will afflict your+ souls: in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you+ will keep your+ Sabbath.
23:33 And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
23:34 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days to Yahweh.
23:35 On the first day will be a holy convocation: you+ will do no servile work.
23:36 Seven days you+ will offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh: on the eighth day will be a holy convocation to you+; and you+ will offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh: it is a solemn assembly; you+ will do no servile work.
23:37 These are the set feasts of Yahweh, which you+ will proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;
23:38 besides the Sabbaths of Yahweh, and besides your+ gifts, and besides all your+ vows, and besides all your+ freewill-offerings, which you+ give to Yahweh.
23:39 Nevertheless on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you+ have gathered in the fruits of the land, you+ will keep the feast of Yahweh seven days: on the first day will be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day will be a solemn rest.
23:40 And you+ will take to yourselves on the first day the fruit of majestic trees, branches of palm-trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you+ will rejoice before Yahweh your+ God seven days.
23:41 And you+ will keep it a feast to Yahweh seven days in the year: it is a statute forever throughout your+ generations; you+ will keep it in the seventh month.
23:42 You+ will dwell in booths seven days; all who are home-born in Israel will dwell in booths;
23:43 that your+ generations may know that I made the sons of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your+ God.
23:44 And Moses declared to the sons of Israel the set feasts of Yahweh.
