Leviticus 23:1-18
1Then the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 2“SpeakH1696 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and sayH559 to themH413, ‘TheseH428 areH1992 My appointed feastsH4150, the feastsH4150 of the LORDH3068 thatH834 you are to proclaimH7121 as sacredH6944 assembliesH4744.
3For sixH8337 daysH3117 workH4399 may be doneH6213, but the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is a SabbathH7676 of complete restH7677, a day of sacredH6944 assemblyH4744. You must notH3808 doH6213 anyH3605 workH4399; whereverH3605 you liveH4186, itH1931 is a SabbathH7676 to the LORDH3068.
4TheseH428 are the LORD’sH3068 appointed feastsH4150, the sacredH6944 assembliesH4744 you are to proclaimH7121 at their appointed timesH4150. 5The PassoverH6453 to the LORDH3068 begins atH996 twilightH6153 on the fourteenthH702H62401 dayH2320 of the firstH7223 monthH2320. 6On the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the sameH2088 monthH2320 begins the FeastH2282 of Unleavened BreadH46822 to the LORDH3068. For sevenH7651 daysH3117 you must eatH398 unleavened breadH4682. 7On the firstH7223 dayH3117 you are to holdH1961 a sacredH6944 assemblyH4744; you are notH3808 to doH6213 anyH3605 regularH5656 workH4399. 8For sevenH7651 daysH3117 you are to presentH7126 a food offeringH801 to the LORDH3068. On the seventhH7637 dayH3117 there shall be a sacredH6944 assemblyH4744; you must notH3808 doH6213 anyH3605 regularH5656 workH4399.’”
9And the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 10“SpeakH1696 toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 and sayH559, ‘WhenH3588 you enterH935H413 the landH776 thatH834 IH589 am givingH5414 you and you reapH7114 its harvestH7105, you are to bringH935 toH413 the priestH3548 a sheafH6016 of the firstfruitsH7225 of your harvestH7105. 11And he shall waveH5130 the sheafH6016 beforeH6440 the LORDH3068 so that it may be accepted on your behalfH7522; the priestH3548 is to wave itH5130 on the day afterH4283 the SabbathH7676.
12On the dayH3117 you waveH5130 the sheafH6016, you shall offerH6213 a year-oldH1121H8141 lambH3532 without blemishH8549 as a burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068, 13along with its grain offeringH4503 of two-tenths of an ephahH8147H6241 of fine flourH55603 mixedH1101 with oilH8081—a food offeringH801 to the LORDH3068, a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381—and its drink offeringH5262 of a quarterH7243 hinH1969 of wineH3196.4
14You must notH3808 eatH398 any breadH3899 or roastedH7039 or new grainH3759 untilH5704 theH2088 veryH6106 dayH3117 you have broughtH935 thisH853 offeringH7133 to your GodH430. This is to be a permanentH5769 statuteH2708 for the generations to comeH1755, whereverH3605 you liveH4186.
15From the day afterH4283 the SabbathH7676, the dayH3117 you broughtH935 the sheafH6016 of the wave offeringH8573, you are to count offH5608 sevenH7651 fullH8549 weeksH7676. 16You shall count offH5608 fiftyH2572 daysH3117 untilH5704 the day afterH4283 the seventhH7637 SabbathH7676, and then presentH7126 an offering of newH2319 grainH4503 to the LORDH3068.
17BringH935 twoH8147 loaves of breadH3899 from your dwellingsH4186 as a wave offeringH8573, each made from two-tenths of an ephahH8147H6241 of fine flourH5560H1961, bakedH644 with leavenH2557, as the firstfruitsH1061 to the LORDH3068.
18Along withH5921 the breadH3899 you are to presentH7126 sevenH7651 unblemishedH8549 male lambsH3532 a year oldH1121H8141, oneH259 young bullH6499H1121H1241, and twoH8147 ramsH352. They will beH1961 a burnt offeringH5930 to the LORDH3068, together with their grain offeringsH4503 and drink offeringsH5262—a food offeringH801, a pleasingH5207 aromaH7381 to the LORDH3068.
