Leviticus 23:1-8 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses:

2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: These are my appointed times, the times of the LORD that you will proclaim as sacred assemblies.

3 “Work may be done for six days, but on the seventh day there is to be a Sabbath of complete rest, a sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; it is a Sabbath to the LORD wherever you live.

4 “These are the LORD’s appointed times, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times.

5 The Passover to the LORD comes in the first month, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the month.

6 The Festival of Unleavened Bread to the LORD is on the fifteenth day of the same month. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.

7 On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly; you are not to do any daily work.

8 You are to present a food offering to the LORD for seven days. On the seventh day there will be a sacred assembly; do not do any daily work.”
