Leviticus 23:1-8 ▼

1 The LORD said to Moses:

2 Speak to the Israelites and tell them: The following are the festivals of the LORD, which you shall declare holy days. These are my festivals:

3 For six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a sabbath of complete rest, a declared holy day; you shall do no work. It is the LORD’s sabbath wherever you dwell.

4 These are the festivals of the LORD, holy days which you shall declare at their proper time.

5 The Passover of the LORD falls on the fourteenth day of the first month, at the evening twilight.

6 The fifteenth day of this month is the LORD’s feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

7 On the first of these days you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work.

8 On each of the seven days you shall offer an oblation to the LORD. Then on the seventh day you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work.
