3 You may work for six days. But the seventh day is a day of worship, a day when you don't work, a holy assembly. Don't do any work.

It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwelling places. “’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 |The following are the LORD's appointed festivals with holy assemblies, which you must announce at their appointed times. “These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, the holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them. “’These are the LORD’s appointed festivals, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times:
5 |The fourteenth day of the first month, in the evening, is the LORD's Passover. In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is the LORD’s Passover. The LORD’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.
6 The fifteenth day of this same month is the LORD's Festival of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 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.

9 The LORD spoke to Moses, And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, The LORD said to Moses,
10 |Tell the Israelites: When you come to the land I am going to give you and you harvest grain, bring the priest a bundle of the first grain you harvest. “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 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 He will present it to the LORD so that you will be accepted. He will present it on the day after Passover. 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. 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 On the day you present the bundle, you must sacrifice a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects as a burnt offering to the LORD. 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 the day you wave the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to the LORD a lamb a year old without defect,
13 Bring a grain offering of four quarts of flour mixed with olive oil with it. This will be a sacrifice by fire made to the LORD, a soothing aroma. Use one quart of wine for the wine offering. 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. 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 Don't eat bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until this same day, when you bring the offering to your God. It is a permanent law for generations to come wherever you live. 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 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 |Count seven full weeks from the day after Passover (the day you bring the bundle of grain as an offering presented to the LORD) “You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering. “’From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks.
16 until the day after the seventh week. This is a total of fifty days. Then bring a new grain offering to the LORD. 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. Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD.
17 Bring two loaves of bread from your homes to present to the LORD. Bake them with four quarts of flour. They are the first harvested grain for the LORD. 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. 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 With the bread bring seven one-year-old lambs that have no defects, one bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the LORD. With these offerings also bring grain and wine offerings. They will be a sacrifice by fire, a soothing aroma to the LORD. 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. 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 Also sacrifice one male goat as an offering for sin and two one-year-old lambs as a fellowship offering. And you shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a sacrifice of peace offerings. Then sacrifice one male goat for a sin offering and two lambs, each a year old, for a fellowship offering.
20 The priest must present them along with the bread of the first harvested grain as an offering to the LORD. All this, along with the two lambs, will be holy and will belong to the LORD's priests. 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.

22 |When you harvest the grain in your land, don't harvest the grain in the corners of your fields or gather what is left after you're finished. Leave it for poor people and foreigners. I am the LORD your God.| “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, 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.’”

It will be a memorial day, a holy assembly announced by the blowing of rams' horns. “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. “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.

It shall be for you a time of holy convocation, and you shall afflict yourselves and present a food offering 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 Don't do any work that day. It is a special day for the payment for sins. It is a time when you make peace with the LORD your God. 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. 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 Those who do not humble themselves on that day will be excluded from the people. For whoever is not afflicted on that very day shall be cut off from his people. Those who do not deny themselves on that day must be cut off from their people.
30 I will kill those who do any work on that day. And whoever does any work on that very day, that person I will destroy from among his people. I will destroy from among their people anyone who does any work on that day.
31 Don't do any work. It is a permanent law for generations to come wherever you live. You shall not do any work. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwelling places. You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.

On the ninth day of the month beginning at evening, from evening to evening shall you keep your Sabbath.” 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.”

40 On the first day take the best fruits, palm branches, the branches of leafy trees and poplars, and celebrate in the presence of the LORD your God for seven days.

43 so that generations to come may learn how I made the people of Israel live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.| 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.” so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt.
