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.

These are my festivals:	“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘These are my appointed festivals, the appointed festivals of the LORD, which you are to 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. It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwelling places.	For six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a sabbath of complete rest, a declared holy day; you shall do no work. It is the LORD’s sabbath wherever you dwell.	“’There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a day of sabbath rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a sabbath to the LORD.
4	“These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, the holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them.	These are the festivals of the LORD, holy days which you shall declare at their proper time.	“’These are the LORD’s appointed festivals, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times:
5	In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is the LORD’s Passover.	The Passover of the LORD falls on the fourteenth day of the first month, at the evening twilight.	The LORD’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.
6	And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.	The fifteenth day of this month is the LORD’s feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.	On the fifteenth day of that month the LORD’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast.
7	On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work.	On the first of these days you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work.	On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.
8	But you shall present a food offering to the LORD for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work.”	On each of the seven days you shall offer an oblation to the LORD. Then on the seventh day you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work.	For seven days present a food offering to the LORD. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’”
9	And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,	The LORD said to Moses:	The LORD said to Moses,
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,	Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you come into the land which I am giving you, and reap its harvest, you shall bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest,	“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest.
11	and 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.	who shall elevate the sheaf before the LORD that it may be acceptable on your behalf. On the day after the sabbath the priest shall do this.	He is to wave the sheaf before the LORD so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
12	And 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.	On this day, when your sheaf is elevated, you shall offer to the LORD for a burnt offering an unblemished yearling lamb.	On the day you wave the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to the LORD a lamb a year old without defect,
13	And 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.	Its grain offering shall be two tenths of an ephah of bran flour mixed with oil, as a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD; and its libation shall be a fourth of a hin of wine.	together with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with olive oil—a food offering presented to the LORD, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter of a hin of wine.
14	And 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.	You shall not eat any bread or roasted grain or fresh kernels until this day, when you bring the offering for your God. This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations wherever you dwell.	You must not eat any bread, or roasted or new grain, until the very day you bring this offering to your God. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, 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.	Beginning with the day after the sabbath, the day on which you bring the sheaf for elevation, you shall count seven full weeks;	“’From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks.
16	You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of new grain to the LORD.	you shall count to the day after the seventh week, fifty days. Then you shall present a new grain offering to the LORD.	Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD.
17	You shall bring from your dwelling places two loaves of bread to be waved, made of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour, and they shall be baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the LORD.	For the elevated offering of your first-ripened fruits to the LORD, you shall bring with you from wherever you live two loaves of bread made of two tenths of an ephah of bran flour and baked with leaven.	From wherever you live, bring two loaves made of two-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour, baked with yeast, as a wave offering of firstfruits to the LORD.
18	And you shall present with the bread seven lambs a year old without blemish, and one bull from the herd and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD.	Besides the bread, you shall offer to the LORD a burnt offering of seven unblemished yearling lambs, one bull of the herd, and two rams, along with their grain offering and libations, as a sweet-smelling oblation to the LORD.	Present with this bread seven male lambs, each a year old and without defect, one young bull and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the LORD, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.
19	And you shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a sacrifice of peace offerings.	One male goat shall be sacrificed as a purification offering, and two yearling lambs as a communion sacrifice.	Then sacrifice one male goat for a sin offering and two lambs, each a year old, for a fellowship offering.
20	And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.	The priest shall elevate them—that is, the two lambs—with the bread of the first-ripened fruits as an elevated offering before the LORD; these shall be sacred to the LORD and belong to the priest.	The priest is to wave the two lambs before the LORD as a wave offering, together with the bread of the firstfruits. They are a sacred offering to the LORD for the priest.
21	And you shall make a proclamation on the same day. You shall hold a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work. It is a statute forever in all your dwelling places throughout your generations.	On this same day you shall make a proclamation: there shall be a declared holy day for you; no heavy work may be done. This shall be a perpetual statute through all your generations wherever you dwell.	On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly and do no regular work. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.
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.”	When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not be so thorough that you reap the field to its very edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. These things you shall leave for the poor and the alien. I, the LORD, am your God.	“’When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the LORD your God.’”
23	And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,	The LORD said to Moses:	The LORD said 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.	Tell the Israelites: On the first day of the seventh month you will have a sabbath rest, with trumpet blasts as a reminder, a declared holy day;	“Say to the Israelites: ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of sabbath rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts.
25	You shall not do any ordinary work, and you shall present a food offering to the LORD.”	you shall do no heavy work, and you shall offer an oblation to the LORD.	Do no regular work, but present a food offering to the LORD.’”
26	And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,	The LORD said to Moses:	The LORD said 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.	Now the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You will have a declared holy day. You shall humble yourselves and offer an oblation to the LORD.	“The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present a food offering to the LORD.
28	And 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.	On this day you shall not do any work, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD, your God.	Do not do any work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.
29	For whoever is not afflicted on that very day shall be cut off from his people.	Those who do not humble themselves on this day shall be cut off from the people.	Those who do not deny themselves on that day must be cut off from their people.
30	And whoever does any work on that very day, that person I will destroy from among his people.	If anyone does any work on this day, I will remove that person from the midst of the people.	I will destroy from among their people anyone who does any work on that day.
31	You shall not do any work. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.	You shall do no work; this is a perpetual statute throughout your generations wherever you dwell;	You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.
32	It 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.”	it is a sabbath of complete rest for you. You shall humble yourselves. Beginning on the evening of the ninth of the month, you shall keep your sabbath from evening to evening.	It is a day of sabbath rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your sabbath.”

Tell the Israelites: The fifteenth day of this seventh month is the LORD’s feast of Booths, which shall continue for seven days.	“Say to the Israelites: ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the LORD’s Festival of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days.

38	besides 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.	in addition to the LORD’s sabbaths, your donations, your various votive offerings, and the voluntary offerings that you present to the LORD.	These offerings are in addition to those for the LORD’s Sabbaths and in addition to your gifts and whatever you have vowed and all the freewill offerings 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.	On the fifteenth day, then, of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the LORD for a whole week. The first and the eighth day shall be days of rest.	“’So beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the crops of the land, celebrate the festival to the LORD for seven days; the first day is a day of sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is a day of sabbath rest.
40	And 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.	On the first day you shall gather fruit of majestic trees, branches of palms, and boughs of leafy trees and valley willows. Then for a week you shall make merry before the LORD, your God.	On the first day you are to take branches from luxuriant trees—from palms, willows and other leafy trees—and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.

42	You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All native Israelites shall dwell in booths,	You shall dwell in booths for seven days; every native-born Israelite shall dwell in booths,	Live in temporary shelters for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters
43	that 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.”	that your descendants may realize that, when I led the Israelites out of the land of Egypt, I made them dwell in booths. I, the LORD, am your God.	so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”
44	Thus Moses declared to the people of Israel the appointed feasts of the LORD.	Thus did Moses announce to the Israelites the festivals of the LORD.	So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed festivals of the LORD.
