Leviticus 23:1-25 ▼

1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘The feasts of YHWH that you? shall proclaim to be holy convocations—these are My feasts.

3 Six days work shall be done, and the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You? shall not do any work; it is the Sabbath of YHWH in all your? dwellings.

4 These are the feasts of YHWH, holy convocations, which you? shall proclaim at their appointed times.

5 In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, is the passover to YHWH.

6 And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of the Unleavened to YHWH. Seven days you? must eat unleavened bread.

7 On the first day you? shall have a holy convocation. You? shall not do any customary work.

8 And you? shall offer a fire offering to YHWH for seven days. The seventh day is a holy convocation; you? shall not do any customary work.’”

9 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

10 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you? come into the land that I am giving to you? and you? reap its harvest, then you? shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your? harvest to the priest.

11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the face of YHWH to be accepted on your? behalf. On the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.

12 And you? shall offer on that day when you? wave the sheaf a male lamb, unblemished, a son of a year, as a burnt offering to YHWH.

13 And its grain offering is two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the oil, a fire offering to YHWH, a pleasing aroma. And its drink offering is of wine, a fourth of a hin.

14 And you? shall not eat bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh grain, until this same day that you? have brought an offering to your? God; it shall be an everlasting statute throughout your? generations in all your? dwellings.

15 And you? shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you? brought the sheaf of the wave offering—they are seven completed Sabbaths—

16 until the day after the seventh Sabbath. You? shall number fifty days, and you? shall offer a new grain offering to YHWH.

17 From your? dwellings you? shall bring bread of a wave offering, two loaves, of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven, the firstfruits to YHWH.

18 And you? shall offer with the bread seven lambs unblemished, sons of a year, and one bull, a son of the herd, and two rams; they shall be a burnt offering to YHWH, and with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, a fire offering for a pleasing aroma to YHWH.

19 And you? shall sacrifice one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs, sons of a year, as a sacrifice of peace offerings.

20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the face of YHWH, besides the two lambs; they shall be holy to YHWH for the priest.

21 And you? shall proclaim on this same day that it is a holy convocation to you?. You? shall not do any customary work; it shall be an everlasting statute in all your? dwellings throughout your? generations.

22 And in your? reaping the harvest of your? land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field in your reaping, and you shall not gather the gleaning of your harvest; you shall leave them to the poor and to the sojourner. I am YHWH your? God.’”

23 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

24 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first of the month, it shall be to you? a complete rest, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation.

25 You? shall not do any customary work, and you? shall offer a fire offering to YHWH.’”
