2“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, These are the appointed feasts of the LORD that you shall proclaim as holy convocations; they are my appointed feasts.2Speak to the Israelites and tell them: These are My appointed times, the times of the LORD that you will proclaim as sacred assemblies."
3“Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work.

You are not to do any work; it is a Sabbath to the LORD wherever you live."
4“These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, the holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them.4These are the LORD's appointed times, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times.

10“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land that I give you and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest,10Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you and reap its harvest, you are to bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest.
11and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, so that you may be accepted. On the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.11He will wave the sheaf before the LORD so that you may be accepted; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
12And on the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb a year old without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD.12On the day you wave the sheaf, you are to offer a year-old male lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD.
13And the grain offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, a food offering to the LORD with a pleasing aroma, and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, a fourth of a hin.13Its grain offering is to be four quarts of fine flour mixed with oil as a fire offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma, and its drink offering will be one quart of wine.
14And you shall eat neither bread nor grain parched or fresh until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.14You must not eat bread, roasted grain, or any new grain until this very day, and until you have brought the offering to your God. This is to be a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live."
15“You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering.15You are to count seven complete weeks starting from the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the presentation offering.

22“And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.”22When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap all the way to the edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident; I am Yahweh your God."
23And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,23The LORD spoke to Moses: "
24“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation.24Tell the Israelites: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a day of complete rest, commemoration, and joyful shouting--a sacred assembly.
25You shall not do any ordinary work, and you shall present a food offering to the LORD.”25You must not do any daily work, but you must present a fire offering to the LORD."
26And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,26The LORD again spoke to Moses: "
27“Now on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be for you a time of holy convocation, and you shall afflict yourselves and present a food offering to the LORD.27The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You are to hold a sacred assembly and practice self-denial; you are to present a fire offering to the LORD.
28And you shall not do any work on that very day, for it is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God.28On this particular day you are not to do any work, for it is a Day of Atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the LORD your God.
29For whoever is not afflicted on that very day shall be cut off from his people.29If any person does not practice self-denial on this particular day, he must be cut off from his people.
30And whoever does any work on that very day, that person I will destroy from among his people.30I will destroy among his people anyone who does any work on this same day.
31You shall not do any work. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.31You are not to do any work. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live.
32It shall be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict yourselves. On the ninth day of the month beginning at evening, from evening to evening shall you keep your Sabbath.”32It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must practice self-denial. You are to observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening."
33And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,33The LORD spoke to Moses: "
34“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month and for seven days is the Feast of Booths to the LORD.34Tell the Israelites: The Festival of Booths to the LORD begins on the fifteenth day of this seventh month and continues for seven days.
35On the first day shall be a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work.35There is to be a sacred assembly on the first day; you are not to do any daily work.
36For seven days you shall present food offerings to the LORD. On the eighth day you shall hold a holy convocation and present a food offering to the LORD.

On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present a fire offering to the LORD. It is a solemn gathering; you are not to do any daily work."
37“These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim as times of holy convocation, for presenting to the LORD food offerings, burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its proper day,37These are the LORD's appointed times that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting fire offerings to the LORD, burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day.
38besides the LORD’s Sabbaths and besides your gifts and besides all your vow offerings and besides all your freewill offerings, which you give to the LORD.38These are in addition to the offerings for the LORD's Sabbaths, your gifts, all your vow offerings, and all your freewill offerings that you give to the LORD."
39“On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the LORD seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.39You are to celebrate the LORD's festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh month for seven days after you have gathered the produce of the land. There will be complete rest on the first day and complete rest on the eighth day.
40And you shall take on the first day the fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.40On the first day you are to take the product of majestic trees--palm fronds, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook--and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.
41You shall celebrate it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.41You are to celebrate it as a festival to the LORD seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for you throughout your generations; you must celebrate it in the seventh month.
42You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All native Israelites shall dwell in booths,42You are to live in booths for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must live in booths,
43that your generations may know that I made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.”43so that your generations may know that I made the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God."
44Thus Moses declared to the people of Israel the appointed feasts of the LORD.44So Moses declared the LORD's appointed times to the Israelites.
