Leviticus 23:1-8 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, These are the appointed feasts of the LORD that you shall proclaim as holy convocations; they are my appointed feasts.

3 “Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work. It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwelling places.

4 “These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, the holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them.

5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is the LORD’s Passover.

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

7 On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work.

8 But you shall present a food offering to the LORD for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work.”
