Leviticus 23:1-8 ▼

1 The LORD spoke to Moses:

2 Speak to the Israelites and tell them, 'These are the LORD's appointed times which you must proclaim as holy assemblies--my appointed times:

3 'Six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there must be a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy assembly. You must not do any work; it is a Sabbath to the LORD in all the places where you live.

4 'These are the LORD's appointed times, holy assemblies, which you must proclaim at their appointed time.

5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, is a Passover offering to the LORD.

6 Then on the fifteenth day of the same month will be the festival of unleavened bread to the LORD; seven days you must eat unleavened bread.

7 On the first day there will be a holy assembly for you; you must not do any regular work.

8 You must present a gift to the LORD for seven days, and the seventh day is a holy assembly; you must not do any regular work.'|
