Lev 23:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and say to them, ‘The appointed
times of יהוה, which you are to proclaim as set-apart gatherings, My
appointed times, are these:
Lev 23:3 ‘Six days work is done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a
set-apart gathering. You do no work, it is a Sabbath to יהוה in all your
dwellings.
Lev 23:4 ‘These are the appointed times of יהוה, set-apart gatherings which
you are to proclaim at their appointed times.
Lev 23:5 ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, between the
evenings, is the Passover to יהוה.

Unleavened Bread to יהוה– seven days you eat unleavened bread.
Lev 23:7 ‘On the first day you have a set-apart gathering, you do no servile
work.
Lev 23:8 ‘And you shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה for seven
days. On the seventh day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.’ ”
Lev 23:9 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:10 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, and you shall say to them,
‘When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest,
then you shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest.
Lev 23:11 ‘And he shall wave the sheaf before יהוה, for your acceptance. On
the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves it.
Lev 23:12 ‘And on that day when you wave the sheaf, you shall prepare a
male lamb a year old, a perfect one, as a burnt offering to יהוה,
Lev 23:13 and its grain offering: two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour mixed
with oil, an offering made by fire to ,יהוהa sweet fragrance, and its drink
offering: one-fourth of a hin of wine.
Lev 23:14 ‘And you do not eat bread or roasted grain or fresh grain until the
same day that you have brought an offering to your Elohim – a law forever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Lev 23:15 ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you
brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven
completed Sabbaths.
Lev 23:16 ‘Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days,
then you shall bring a new grain offering to יהוה.
Lev 23:17 ‘Bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of
bread, of two-tenths of an ĕphah of fine flour they are, baked with leaven,
first-fruits to יהוה.
Lev 23:18 ‘And besides the bread, you shall bring seven lambs a year old,
perfect ones, and one young bull and two rams. They are a burnt offering to
יהוה, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by
fire for a sweet fragrance to יהוה.
Lev 23:19 ‘And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering, and two
male lambs a year old, as a peace offering.
Lev 23:20 ‘And the priest shall wave them, besides the bread of the first-
fruits, as a wave offering before יהוה, besides the two lambs. They are set-
apart to יהוה for the priest.
Lev 23:21 ‘And on this same day you shall proclaim a set-apart gathering
for yourselves, you do no servile work on it – a law forever in all your
dwellings throughout your generations.
Lev 23:22 ‘And when you reap the harvest of your land do not completely
reap the corners of your field when you reap, and do not gather any gleaning
from your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am יהוה
your Elohim.’ ”
Lev 23:23 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:24 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘In the seventh month,
on the first day of the month, you have a rest, a remembrance of blowing of
trumpets, a set-apart gathering.
Lev 23:25 ‘You do no servile work, and you shall bring an offering made by
fire to .יהוה’ ”
Lev 23:26 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:27 “On the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement.
It shall be a set-apart gathering for you. And you shall afflict your beings, and
shall bring an offering made by fire to יהוה.
Lev 23:28 “And you do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of
Atonement, to make atonement for you before יהוה your Elohim.
Lev 23:29 “For any being who is not afflicted on that same day, he shall be
cut off from his people.
Lev 23:30 “And any being who does any work on that same day, that being I
shall destroy from the midst of his people.
Lev 23:31 “You do no work – a law forever throughout your generations in
all your dwellings.
Lev 23:32 ‘It is a Sabbath of rest to you, and you shall afflict your beings.
On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you
observe your Sabbath.”
Lev 23:33 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Lev 23:34 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the fifteenth day of
this seventh month is the Festival of Booths for seven days to יהוה.
Lev 23:35 ‘On the first day is a set-apart gathering, you do no servile work.
Lev 23:36 ‘For seven days you bring an offering made by fire to יהוה. On the
eighth day there shall be a set-apart gathering for you, and you shall bring an
offering made by fire to יהוה. It is a closing festival, you do no servile work.
Lev 23:37 ‘These are the appointed times of יהוה which you proclaim as set-
apart gatherings, to bring an offering made by fire to ,יהוהa burnt offering and
a grain offering, a slaughtering and drink offerings, as commanded for every
day –
Lev 23:38 besides the Sabbaths of יהוה, and besides your gifts, and besides
all your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings which you give to
.יהוה
Lev 23:39 ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the
fruit of the land, observe the festival of יהוה for seven days. On the first day is
a rest, and on the eighth day a rest.
Lev 23:40 ‘And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of
good trees, branches of palm trees, twigs of leafy trees, and willows of the
stream, and shall rejoice before יהוה your Elohim for seven days.
Lev 23:41 ‘And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה for seven days in
the year – a law forever in your generations. Observe it in the seventh month.
Lev 23:42 ‘Dwell in booths for seven days; all who are native Yisra’ĕlites
dwell in booths,
Lev 23:43 so that your generations know that I made the children of Yisra’ĕl
dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. I am יהוה
your Elohim.’ ”
Lev 23:44 Thus did Mosheh speak of the appointed times of יהוה to the
children of Yisra’ĕl.
