Leviticus 23:24-42

24“Tell the Israelites: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a day of complete rest, commemoration, and trumpet blasts  — a sacred assembly.

25You must not do any daily work, but you must present a food offering to the Lord.”

26The Lord again spoke to Moses:

27“The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You are to hold a sacred assembly and practice self-denial; you are to present a food offering to the Lord.

28On this particular day you are not to do any work, for it is a Day of Atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the Lord your God.

29If any person does not practice self-denial on this particular day, he is to be cut off from his people.

30I will destroy among his people anyone who does any work on this same day.

31You are not to do any work. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live.

32It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must practice self-denial. You are to observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening.”

33The Lord spoke to Moses:

34“Tell the Israelites: The Festival of Shelters to the Lord begins on the fifteenth day of this seventh month and continues for seven days.

35There is to be a sacred assembly on the first day; you are not to do any daily work.

36You are to present a food offering to the Lord for seven days. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present a food offering to the Lord. It is a solemn assembly; you are not to do any daily work.

37“These are the Lord’s appointed times that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting food offerings to the Lord, burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day.

38These are in addition to the offerings for the Lord’s Sabbaths, your gifts, all your vow offerings, and all your freewill offerings that you give to the Lord.

39“You are to celebrate the Lord’s festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh month for seven days after you have gathered the produce of the land. There will be complete rest on the first day and complete rest on the eighth day.

40On the first day you are to take the product of majestic trees — palm fronds, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook  — and rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.

41You are to celebrate it as a festival to the Lord seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for you throughout your generations; celebrate it in the seventh month.

42You are to live in shelters for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must live in shelters,
