Leviticus 23:27-44 ▼

27 “Indeed on the tenth of this seventh month, it is the Day of Atonement. It shall be for you? a holy convocation, and you? shall afflict your? souls and offer a fire offering to YHWH.

28 And you? shall not do any work on this same day. For it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement upon you? before the face of YHWH your? God.

29 For any person who is not afflicted on this very day shall even be cut off from his people.

30 And any person who does any work on this very day, I will even destroy that person from among his people.

31 You? shall not do any work; it is an everlasting statute throughout your? generations in all your? dwellings.

32 It is to you? a Sabbath of complete rest, and you? shall afflict your? souls. On the ninth of the month at the evening, from evening to evening you? shall celebrate your? sabbath.”

33 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

34 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to YHWH.

35 On the first day is a holy convocation; you? shall not do any customary work.

36 For seven days you? shall offer a fire offering to YHWH. On the eighth day you? shall have a holy convocation, and you? shall offer a fire offering to YHWH. It is a sacred assembly; you? shall not do any customary work.

37 These are the feasts of YHWH that you? shall proclaim as holy convocations, to offer a fire offering to YHWH, a burnt offering, and a grain offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings—everything on its proper day—

38 besides the Sabbaths of YHWH, and besides your? gifts, and besides all your? vows, and besides all your? freewill offerings that you? give to YHWH.

39 Indeed on the five and tenth day of the seventh month, when you? have gathered in the produce of the land, you? shall keep the feast of YHWH for seven days. On the first day is a complete rest, and on the eighth day a complete rest.

40 And you? shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook. And you? shall rejoice before the face of YHWH your? God for seven days.

41 And you? shall keep it as a feast to YHWH for seven days in the year, an everlasting statute in your? generations. In the seventh month you? shall celebrate it.

42 You? shall dwell in booths for seven days; all the native of Israel shall dwell in booths,

43 that your? generations may know that I made the sons of Israel to dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am YHWH your? God.’”

44 And Moses declared the feasts of YHWH to the sons of Israel.
