Leviticus 23:1-8 ▼

1 The LORD spoke again to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The appointed times (established feasts) of the LORD which you shall proclaim as holy convocations—My appointed times are these:

3 ‘For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation (calling together). You shall not do any work [on that day]; it is the Sabbath of the LORD wherever you may be.

4 ‘These are the appointed times of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times:

5 The LORD’S Passover is on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight.

6 The Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD is on the fifteenth day of the same month; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation (calling together); you shall not do any laborious work [on that day].

8 But you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD for seven days; on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work [on that day].’”
