< Leviticus 23 >

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy convocations, [are] these: they [are] My appointed seasons:
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of Yhwh, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3 six days is work done, and in the seventh day [is] a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it [is] a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of Yhwh in all your dwellings.
4 'These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons:
These are the feasts of Yhwh, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, [is] the passover to Jehovah;
In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is Yhwh's passover.
6 and on the fifteenth day of this month [is] the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto Yhwh: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7 on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work;
In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
8 and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day [is] a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'
But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yhwh seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
9 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
10 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, the beginning of your harvest unto the priest,
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:
11 then he hath waved the sheaf before Jehovah for your acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath doth the priest wave it.
And he shall wave the sheaf before Yhwh, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 'And ye have prepared in the day of your waving the sheaf a lamb, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah,
And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto Yhwh.
13 and its present two tenth deals of flour mixed with oil, a fire-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, and its drink-offering, wine, a fourth of the hin.
And the grain offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Yhwh for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
14 'And bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering of your God — a statute age-during to your generations, in all your dwellings.
And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor green heads, 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.
15 'And ye have numbered to you from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day of your bringing in the sheaf of the wave-offering: they are seven perfect sabbaths;
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:
16 unto the morrow of the seventh sabbath ye do number fifty days, and ye have brought near a new present to Jehovah;
Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new grain offering unto Yhwh.
17 out of your dwellings ye bring in bread of a wave-offering, two [loaves], of two tenth deals of flour they are, [with] yeast they are baken, first -[fruits] to Jehovah.
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto Yhwh.
18 'And ye have brought near, besides the bread, seven lambs, perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams; they are a burnt-offering to Jehovah, with their present and their libations, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.
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 Yhwh, with their grain offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto Yhwh.
19 'And ye have prepared one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of peace-offerings,
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.
20 and the priest hath waved them, besides the bread of the first -[fruits] — a wave-offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest;
And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before Yhwh, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Yhwh for the priest.
21 and ye have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy convocation is to you, ye do no servile work — a statute age-during in all your dwellings, to your generations.
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 for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 'And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah [am] your God.'
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 Yhwh your God.
23 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
24 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation;
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, an holy convocation.
25 ye do no servile work, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah.'
Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yhwh.
26 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
27 'Only — on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah;
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 Yhwh.
28 and ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your God.
And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before Yhwh your God.
29 'For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off from his people;
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of 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.
31 ye do no work — a statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings.
Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It [is] a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'
It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,
34 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month [is] a feast of booths seven days to Jehovah;
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto Yhwh.
35 on the first day [is] a holy convocation, ye do no servile work,
On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
36 seven days ye bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it [is] a restraint, ye do no servile work.
Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yhwh: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yhwh: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
37 'These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in its day,
These are the feasts of Yhwh, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto Yhwh, a burnt offering, and a grain offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
38 apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.
Beside the sabbaths of Yhwh, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto Yhwh.
39 'Only — in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day [is] a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath;
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 Yhwh seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40 and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days.
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 Yhwh your God seven days.
41 'And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year — a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast.
And ye shall keep it a feast unto Yhwh seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 'In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel dwell in booths,
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
43 so that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, [am] your God.'
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 Yhwh your God.
44 And Moses speaketh [concerning] the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.
And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of Yhwh.
