Leviticus 23:1-8 ▼

1 And Yahweh spoke again to Moses, saying,

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘The appointed times of Yahweh which you shall proclaim as holy convocations—My appointed times are these:

3 ‘For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to Yahweh in all your places of habitation.

4 ‘These are the appointed times of Yahweh, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them.

5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight is the Passover of Yahweh.

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

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

8 But for seven days you shall bring near an offering by fire to Yahweh. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.’”
