Leviticus 23:1-12 ▼

1 AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are my feasts.

3 Six days you shall do work; but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, it shall be holy to the LORD; you shall do no work thereon; it is the sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.

4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even the holy convocations which you shall proclaim in their seasons:

5 On the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD'S passover.

6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of the unleavened bread to the LORD; for seven days you must eat unleavened bread.

7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no manner of work thereon.

8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days; on the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall do no manner of work thereon.

9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

10 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land which I give to you and shall reap the harvest thereof, then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest;

11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD to be accepted for you; on the morrow the priest shall wave it.

12 You shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf a male lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering to the LORD.
