Chapter 23

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Speak¹⁶ unto the children of Israel, and say¹ unto them, [Concerning] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim⁴ [to be] holy convocations, [even] these [are] my feasts.

Six days shall work be done:¹¹ but the seventh day [is] the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do⁴ no work [therein]: it [is] the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

These [are] the feasts of the LORD, [even] holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim⁴ in their seasons.

In the fourteenth ⁶²⁴⁰ [day] of the first month ²³²⁰ at even [is] the LORD'S passover.

And on the fifteenth ⁶²⁴⁰ day of the same month [is] the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat⁴ unleavened bread.

In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do⁴ no servile work therein.

But ye shall offer⁵² an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day [is] an holy convocation: ye shall do⁴ no servile work [therein].

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Speak¹⁶ unto the children of Israel, and say¹ unto them, When ye be come⁴ into the land which I give⁶ unto you, and shall reap¹ the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring⁵² a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:

And he shall wave⁵² the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave⁵⁵ it.

And ye shall offer¹ that day when ye wave⁵³ the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

And the meat offering thereof [shall be] two tenth deals of fine flour mingled⁷ with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD [for] a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof [shall be] of wine, the fourth [part] of an hin.

And ye shall eat⁴ neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame ²⁰⁸⁸ day that ye have brought⁵³ an offering unto your God: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

And ye shall count¹ unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought⁵³ the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be⁴ complete:

Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number⁴ fifty days; and ye shall offer⁵² a new meat offering unto the LORD.

Ye shall bring⁵⁵ out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken¹¹ with leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto the LORD.

And ye shall offer⁵² with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young ¹¹²¹ bullock, and two rams: they shall be [for] a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, [even] an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.

Then ye shall sacrifice¹ one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

And the priest shall wave⁵² them with the bread of the firstfruits [for] a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.

And ye shall proclaim¹ on the selfsame day, [that] it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do⁴ no servile work [therein: it shall be] a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

And when ye reap² the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance¹⁷ of the corners of thy field when thou reapest,² neither shalt thou gather¹⁷ any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave⁴ them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I [am] the LORD your God.

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Speak¹⁶ unto the children of Israel, saying,² In the seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

Ye shall do⁴ no servile work [therein]: but ye shall offer⁵² an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Also on the tenth [day] of this seventh month [there shall be] a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict¹⁴ your souls, and offer⁵² an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

And ye shall do⁴ no work in that same day: for it [is] a day of atonement, to make an atonement¹⁵ for you before the LORD your God.

For whatsoever soul [it be] that shall not be afflicted²⁹ in that same day, he shall be cut off⁸ from among his people.

And whatsoever soul [it be] that doeth⁴ any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy⁵² from among his people.

Ye shall do⁴ no manner of work: [it shall be] a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

It [shall be] unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict¹⁴ your souls: in the ninth [day] of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate⁴ your sabbath.

And the LORD spake¹⁷ unto Moses, saying,²

Speak¹⁶ unto the children of Israel, saying,² The fifteenth ⁶²⁴⁰ day of this seventh month [shall be] the feast of tabernacles [for] seven days unto the LORD.

On the first day [shall be] an holy convocation: ye shall do⁴ no servile work [therein].

Seven days ye shall offer⁵² an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer⁵⁵ an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it [is] a solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do⁴ no servile work [therein].

These [are] the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim⁴ [to be] holy convocations, to offer⁵³ an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: ³¹¹⁷

Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give⁴ unto the LORD.

Also in the fifteenth ⁶²⁴⁰ day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered² in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep⁴ a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day [shall be] a sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a sabbath.

And ye shall take¹ you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice¹ before the LORD your God seven days.

And ye shall keep¹ it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. [It shall be] a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate⁴ it in the seventh month.

Ye shall dwell⁴ in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell⁴ in booths:

That your generations may know⁴ that I made the children of Israel to dwell⁵² in booths, when I brought them out⁵³ of the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

And Moses declared¹⁷ unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
