1And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:
2Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: The appointed times of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim as holy convocations — these are my appointed times.
3For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day is a sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work; it is a sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings.
4These are the appointed times of Yahweh, holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at their appointed time.
5In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, at twilight, is Yahweh’s Passover.
6And on the fifteenth day of this month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to Yahweh; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work.
8You shall present a fire offering to Yahweh for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work.
9And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:
10Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them: When you come into the land that I am giving to you and you reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.
11And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh for your acceptance; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12And on the day you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a lamb without blemish, a year old, as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
13And its grain offering shall be two-tenths of fine flour mixed with oil, a fire offering to Yahweh, a pleasing aroma; and its drink offering of wine, a quarter of a hin.
14And you shall eat no bread, nor roasted grain, nor fresh grain until this very day, until you have brought the offering of your God — a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, seven complete sabbaths shall there be.
16Until the day after the seventh sabbath you shall count fifty days, and then you shall present a new grain offering to Yahweh.
17From your dwellings you shall bring two loaves of bread as a wave offering; they shall be of two-tenths of fine flour, baked with leaven, as firstfruits to Yahweh.
18And you shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish, a year old, and one young bull and two rams; they shall be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to Yahweh.
19And you shall offer one male goat as a sin offering and two lambs a year old as a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20And the priest shall wave them, with the bread of the firstfruits, as a wave offering before Yahweh, together with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Yahweh, for the priest.
21And you shall proclaim on this very day a holy convocation for yourselves; you shall do no laborious work — a perpetual statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not finish reaping the edge of your field, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest; you shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner. I am Yahweh your God.
23And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:
24Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: In the seventh month, on the first of the month, you shall have a rest, a memorial of blast, a holy convocation.
25You shall do no laborious work, and you shall present a fire offering to Yahweh.
26And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying:
27Surely on the tenth of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall afflict yourselves, and you shall present a fire offering to Yahweh.
28And you shall do no work at all on this very day, for it is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God.
29For any person who does not humble himself on this very day shall be cut off from his people.
30And any person who does any work on this very day — I will destroy that person from among his people.
31You shall do no work at all. It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32It is a sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall afflict yourselves. On the ninth day of the month in the evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your sabbath.
33And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
34Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths, seven days for Yahweh.
35On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work.
36For seven days you shall bring near a fire offering to Yahweh. On the eighth day there shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall bring near a fire offering to Yahweh; it is a solemn assembly. You shall do no laborious work.
37These are the appointed times of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, to bring near a fire offering to Yahweh — a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, each on its own day —
38apart from the sabbaths of Yahweh, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your freewill offerings which you give to Yahweh.
39Surely, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of Yahweh for seven days; on the first day is a rest, and on the eighth day is a rest.
40And on the first day you shall take for yourselves the fruit of majestic trees, fronds of palm trees, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God for seven days.
41You shall celebrate it as a feast to Yahweh for seven days in the year. It is a perpetual statute throughout your generations; in the seventh month you shall celebrate it.
42You shall dwell in booths for seven days; every native-born in Israel shall dwell in booths,
43so that your generations may know that I made the sons of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.
44So Moses declared the appointed times of Yahweh to the sons of Israel.
