Speak to [the] people of Israel and you will say to them if you will go into the land which I [am] about to give to you and you will harvest harvest its and you will bring sheaf of first [fruit] of harvest your to the priest.

16 on the next/50th day after he offers it, [each family] must bring to me an offering from the new crop of grain.
Until from [the] next day of the sabbath seventh you will count fifty day[s] and you will present a grain offering new to Yahweh.
17 From your homes, bring two loaves of bread [to the priest]. He will lift them up [high to dedicate them] as an offering to me.

22 “When you harvest the grain in your fields, do not harvest the grain along the edges of the fields, and do not pick up the grain that the harvesters drop. Leave that grain for the poor people and for the foreigners who are living among you. [Do not forget that it is] I, Yahweh your God, [who am commanding those things]!”
And when harvest you [the] harvest of land your not you will finish [the] side of field your when harvesting you and [the] remnant of harvest your not you will gather for the poor [person] and for the sojourner you will leave them I [am] Yahweh God your.
23 Yahweh also told Moses/me
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
24 to give these instructions/commands to the Israeli people: “[Each year] in September, on the day that I have chosen, you all must celebrate it by completely resting. You must not do any work on that day. When [the priests] blow their trumpets loudly, you all must gather together to worship me.
Speak to [the] people of Israel saying in the month seventh on [day] one of the month it will be to you a sabbath observance a remembrance of a sound of a loud blast a convocation of holiness.
25 All of you must not do your regular work on that day. Instead, you must present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].”
Any work of servitude not you will do and you will present a fire offering to Yahweh.
26 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
27 “You must celebrate a day [on which you request that I] forgive you for the sins that you have committed. That day will be nine days after the festival [when the priests blow] the trumpets. On that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food). You must gather together to worship me and present offerings to me that will be burned [on the altar].
Surely on the ten of the month seventh this [is] [the] day of atonement it a convocation of holiness it will be to you and you will afflict selves your and you will present a fire offering to Yahweh.
28 You must not do any work on that day, because it is the day when the priests will offer sacrifices to me to (atone for/ask me to forgive) your sins.
And any work not you will do on [the] substance of the day this for [is] a day of atonement it to make atonement on yourselves before Yahweh God your.
29 You must expel from your group anyone who does not (fast/abstain from eating food) on that day.
If any person who not it will humble [itself] on [the] substance of the day this and it will be cut off from kinspeople its.
30 I will get rid of anyone who does any kind of work on that day.
And every person who it will do any work on [the] substance of the day this and I will destroy the person that from among people its.
31 You must not work at all! You must always obey those instructions/commands, and you must obey them wherever you live.
Any work not you will do a statute of perpetuity to generations your in all dwelling places your.
32 That day will be a day of complete rest for all of you, and on that day you must (fast/abstain from eating food) [to show that you are sorry for having sinned]. That day of rest and (fasting/abstaining from eating food) will begin on the evening before the day in which you ask me to forgive you for your sins, and it will end on the evening of the following day.”
[is] a sabbath of Sabbath observance it to you and you will afflict selves your on [day] nine of the month in the evening from evening until evening you will cease sabbath your.
33 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.
34 “Tell the Israeli people that [each year] they must also celebrate a festival of living in temporary shelters. That festival will begin five days after the day in which they request me to forgive them for their sins. It will last for seven days.
Speak to [the] people of Israel saying [is] on [the] fif-teen day of the month seventh this [the] festival of booths seven days to Yahweh.
35 On the first day of that festival, the people must gather together to worship me, and they must not do any regular work on that day.
[is] on the Day first a convocation of holiness any work of servitude not you will do.
36 On each of the seven days of the festival, they must present to me an offering [of animals] that will be burned [on the altar]. On the next day, they must gather again to worship me and present to me another animal that will be burned [on the altar]. That also will be a sacred gathering, and they must not work on that day, either.
Seven days you will present a fire offering to Yahweh on the day eighth a convocation of holiness it will be to you and you will present a fire offering to Yahweh [is] a solemn assembly it any work of servitude not you will do.
37 “[To summarize], those are the festivals that I have appointed. Celebrate those sacred festivals by gathering together to present to me all the various offerings that will be burned [on the altar]—animals that will be burned completely, and offerings of grain, and offerings to enable the Israeli people to maintain fellowship with me, and offerings of wine. Each offering must be brought on the day that I have indicated.
These [are] [the] appointed feasts of Yahweh which you will proclaim them convocations of holiness to present a fire offering to Yahweh a burnt offering and a grain offering a sacrifice and drink offerings a matter of a day in day its.
38 (Those festivals must be celebrated/You must celebrate those festivals) in addition to [worshiping on] the (Sabbath days/days of rest). And all those offerings must be given in addition to the offerings that people personally decide to give, and in addition to the offerings that people make to accompany the solemn promises that they have made, or offerings that people make (voluntarily/because they themselves want to).
Besides [the] sabbaths of Yahweh and besides gifts your and besides all vows your and besides all freewill offerings your which you will give to Yahweh.
39 “[Returning to my instructions about] the Festival of Living in Temporary Shelters, you must celebrate this festival after you have harvested all the crops. On the first day and on the last day of that festival, you must rest completely.
Surely on [the] fif-teen day of the month seventh when have gathered you [the] produce of the land you will celebrate a festival [the] festival of Yahweh seven days [is] on the day first a sabbath observance and [is] on the day eighth a sabbath observance.
40 But on the first day, you are permitted to pick fruit from trees. Cut palm fronds/branches and other leafy branches from trees or from bushes that grow by the streams, [and make shelters/huts to live in for that week]. Then rejoice in my presence for those seven days.
And you will take for yourselves on the day first fruit of tree[s] of splendor fronds of palm trees and branch[es] of tree[s] leafy and poplars of a wadi and you will rejoice before Yahweh God your seven days.
41 You must celebrate this festival for seven days every year. You must never stop obeying my commands/instructions for that festival. You must celebrate it in September.
And you will celebrate a festival it a festival of Yahweh seven days in the year a statute of perpetuity to generations your in the month seventh you will celebrate as a festival it.
42 During the seven days of that festival, all of you people who have been Israelis your entire lives must live in shelters/huts.
In booths you will dwell seven days every native-born in Israel they will dwell in booths.
43 That will remind your descendants that their ancestors lived in shelters [for many years] after I rescued them from Egypt. [Do not forget that] I, Yahweh your God, [am the one who is commanding this].”
So that may know generations your that in booths I caused to dwell [the] people of Israel when brought out I them from [the] land of Egypt I [am] Yahweh God your.
44 So Moses/I gave to the Israeli people all those instructions concerning the festivals that Yahweh [wanted them to celebrate] each year.
And he spoke Moses [the] appointed feasts of Yahweh to [the] people of Israel.
