1 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto the: The feastes of the Lorde which ye shall call holy conuocations, euen these are my feastes.

3 Sixe dayes ye shall worke: but the seuenth day is the Sabboth of rest, an holy couocation, so that ye do no worke therin: it is the Sabboth of the Lorde in all your dwellynges.

4 These are the feastes of the Lorde, euen holy conuocations, which ye shall proclayme in their seasons.

5 In the fourteenth day of the first moneth at euen, is the Lordes Passouer:

6 And on the fifteenth day of the same moneth, is the feast of vnleauened bread vnto the Lorde: seuen dayes ye must eate vnleauened bread.

7 In the first day ye shall haue an holy conuocation: ye shal do no seruile worke therin.

8 But ye shall offer sacrifices made by fire vnto the Lorde throughout these seuen dayes: and in the seuenth day is an holy conuocation, ye shall do no seruile worke therin.

9 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, saying:

10 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them: When ye be come into the lande which I geue vnto you, and reape downe the haruest therof, ye shall bryng a sheafe of the first fruites of your haruest vnto the priest:

11 Which shall waue the sheafe before the Lorde, to be accepted for you: and euen the morowe after the Sabboth the priest shall waue it.

12 And ye shall offer that day when ye waue the sheafe, an hee lambe without blemishe of a yere olde, for a burnt offeryng vnto the Lorde:

13 And the meate offeryng therof, shalbe made of two tenth deales of fine floure myngled with oyle, to be a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord for a sweete sauour: and the drynke offeryng therof shalbe of wine, euen the fourth deale of an hyn.

14 And ye shal eate neither bread nor parched corne, nor greene eares, vntyl ye selfe same day that ye haue brought an offering vnto your God: Let this be a lawe for euer in your generations, and in all your dwellynges.
