| 1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 1The LORD told Moses, |
| 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. | 2"Tell the Israelis that these are my festival times appointed by the LORD that you are to declare as sacred assemblies: |
| 3Six 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 the LORD in all your dwellings. | 3Six days you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a sacred assembly. You are not to do any work. It's a Sabbath to the LORD wherever you live. |
| 4These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. | 4These are the LORD's appointed festivals and sacred assemblies that you are to declare at their appointed time. |
| 5In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover. | 5"The LORD's Passover is to begin on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight. |
| 6And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. | 6On the fifteenth day of that month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to the LORD. For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread. |
| 7In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. | 7On the first day that you hold the sacred assembly, you are to do no servile work. |
| 8But 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. | 8Instead, you are to bring an offering made by fire to the LORD daily for seven days. On the seventh day, you are also to hold a sacred assembly during which you are to do no servile work." |
| 9And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 9The LORD told Moses, |
| 10Speak 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: | 10"Tell the Israelis that when you enter the land that I'm about to give you and gather its produce, you are to bring a sheaf from the first portion of your harvest to the priest, |
| 11And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. | 11who will offer the sheaf in the LORD's presence for your acceptance. The priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath. |
| 12And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD. | 12On the day you wave the sheaf, you are to offer a one year old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering in the LORD's presence. |
| 13And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth 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 hin. | 13Also present a meal offering of two tenths of a measure of fine flour mixed with olive oil as an offering made by fire to the LORD, a pleasing aroma. Now as to a drink offering, you are to present a fourth of a hin of wine. |
| 14And 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. | 14You are not to eat bread, parched grain, or fresh grain until that day when you've brought the offering of your God. This is to be an eternal ordinance throughout your generations, wherever you live." |
| 15And 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: | 15"Starting the day after the Sabbath, count for yourselves seven weeks from the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. They are to be complete. |
| 16Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. | 16Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath, then bring a new meal offering to the LORD. |
| 17Ye 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 the LORD. | 17Bring two loaves of bread from home as wave offerings made from two tenths of fine flour baked with leaven as first fruits to the LORD. |
| 18And 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. | 18Along with the loaves of bread, bring seven lambs (each of them one year old and without defect), one young bull as an offering, and two rams as offerings to the LORD—along with your gift and drink offerings—and present them as an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD. |
| 19Then 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. | 19Prepare one male goat for a sin offering and two one year old rams for peace offerings. |
| 20And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. | 20Then the priest is to wave them—the two lambs with the bread of first fruits—as raised offerings in the LORD's presence. They'll be sacred to the LORD on account of the priest. |
| 21And 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. | 21"On the same day, proclaim a sacred assembly for yourselves. You are not to do any servile work—and this is to be an eternal ordinance wherever you live throughout your generations. |
| 22And 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. | 22Furthermore, when you harvest the produce of your land, you are not to harvest all the way to the corners of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and resident alien. I am the LORD your God." |
| 23And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 23The LORD told Moses, |
| 24Speak 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. | 24"Tell the Israelis that on the first day of the seventh month you are to have a Sabbath of rest for you—a memorial announced by a loud blast of trumpets. It is to be a sacred assembly. |
| 25Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. | 25You are not to do any servile work. Instead, bring an offering made by fire to the LORD." |
| 26And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 26The LORD spoke to Moses, |
| 27Also 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. | 27"However, on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It's a sacred assembly for you. Humble yourselves and bring an offering made by fire to the LORD. |
| 28And 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. | 28You are not to do any work that same day. It's the Day of Atonement, because your atonement is made in the presence of the LORD your God. |
| 29For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. | 29Anyone who doesn't humble himself that same day is to be eliminated from contact with his people. |
| 30And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. | 30I'll eliminate anyone who does work that day from among his people. |
| 31Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. | 31You are not to do any work. This is to be an eternal ordinance throughout your generations, wherever you live. |
| 32It 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. | 32It's a Sabbath of rest for you on which you are to humble yourselves starting the evening of the ninth day of the month. You are to observe your Sabbath from evening to evening." |
| 33And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, | 33The LORD spoke to Moses, |
| 34Speak 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. | 34"Tell the Israelis that starting the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the week-long Festival of Tents to the LORD. |
| 35On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. | 35On the first day, you are to hold a sacred assembly, when you are not to do any servile work. |
| 36Seven 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. | 36For seven days, bring offerings made by fire to the LORD. The eighth day is also to be a sacred assembly for you. Bring offerings made by fire to the LORD. It's a sacred assembly. You are not to do any servile work. |
| 37These 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, every thing upon his day: | 37"These are the LORD's appointed festivals that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies. Bring offerings made by fire to the LORD—a whole burnt offering, a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings. Do this every day on its assigned date |
| 38Beside 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. | 38in addition to the LORD's Sabbath—regarding your gifts, your offerings in fulfillment of vows, and your freely given offerings that you will bring to the LORD. |
| 39Also 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. | 39"On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you've harvested the produce of the land, you are to observe the festival of the LORD for seven days. The first day is to be a Sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is to be a Sabbath rest. |
| 40And 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. | 40"On the first day, take branches from impressive fruit trees, branches from palm trees, boughs from thick trees, and poplars from the brooks. Then you are to rejoice in the presence of the LORD your God for seven days. |
| 41And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. | 41Observe it as a pilgrimage festival in the presence of the LORD for seven days of the year. This is to be an eternal ordinance throughout your generations. Observe the festival during the seventh month. |
| 42Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: | 42You are to live in tents for seven days. Every native born of Israel is to live in tents |
| 43That 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. | 43in order for your future generations to know that the Israelis lived in tents when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God." |
| 44And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD. | 44This is what Moses spoke about to the Israelis regarding the LORD's appointed festivals. |
