1The LordH3068 spokeH1696 again to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2“SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and sayH559 to them, ‘1The Lord’sH3068 appointedH4150 timesH4150 whichH834 you shall 2proclaimH7121 as holyH6944 convocationsH4744--My appointedH4150 timesH4150 are theseH428:

3‘3For sixH8337 daysH3117 workH4399 may be doneH6213, but on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 there is a sabbathH7676 of completeH7677 restH7677, a holyH6944 convocationH4744. You shall not doH6213 anyH3605 workH4399; it is a sabbathH7676 to the LordH3068 in allH3605 your dwellingsH4186.

4‘TheseH428 are the 4appointedH4150 timesH4150 of the LordH3068, holyH6944 convocationsH4744 whichH834 you shall proclaimH7121 at the timesH4150 appointedH4150 for them. 55In the firstH7223 monthH2320, on the fourteenthH702H6240 day of the monthH2320 6at twilightH6153 is the Lord’sH3068 PassoverH6453. 6Then on the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the sameH2088 monthH2320 there is the 7FeastH2282 of UnleavenedH4682 BreadH4682 to the LordH3068; for sevenH7651 daysH3117 you shall eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682. 7On the firstH7223 dayH3117 you shall haveH1961 a holyH6944 convocationH4744; you shall 8not doH6213 anyH3605 laboriousH5656 workH4399. 8But for sevenH7651 daysH3117 you shall presentH7126 an offeringH801 by fireH801 to the LordH3068. On the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is a holyH6944 convocationH4744; you shall not doH6213 anyH3605 laboriousH5656 workH4399.’”

9Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 10“SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and sayH559 to them, ‘WhenH3588 you enterH935 the landH776 whichH834 I am going to giveH5414 to you and 9reapH7114 its harvestH7105, then you shall bringH935 in the sheafH6016 of the firstH7225 fruitsH7225 of your harvestH7105 to the priestH3548. 11He shall waveH5130 the sheafH6016 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 for you to be acceptedH7522; on the dayH4283 afterH4283 the sabbathH7676 the priestH3548 shall waveH5130 it. 12Now on the dayH3117 when you waveH5130 the sheafH6016, you shall offerH6213 a maleH3532 lambH3532 one yearH8141 oldH1121 withoutH8549 defectH8549 for a burntH5930 offeringH5930 to the LordH3068. 13Its 10grain offeringH4503 shall then be two-tenthsH8147H6241 of an ephah of fineH5560 flourH5560 mixedH1101 with oilH8081, an offeringH801 by fireH801 to the LordH3068 for a soothingH5207 aromaH7381, with its drinkH5262 offeringH5262, a fourthH7243 of a 11hinH1969 of wineH3196. 14UntilH5704 thisH2088 sameH6106 dayH3117, untilH5704 you have broughtH935 in the offeringH7133 of your GodH430, 12you shall eatH398 neitherH3808 breadH3899 norH3808 roastedH7039 grainH7039 norH3808 newH3759 growthH3759. It is to be a perpetualH5769 statuteH2708 throughout your generationsH1755 in allH3605 your dwellingH4186 placesH4186.

15‘13You shall also countH5608 for yourselves from the dayH4283 afterH4283 the sabbathH7676, from the dayH3117 when you broughtH935 in the sheafH6016 of the waveH8573 offeringH8573; there shall be sevenH7651 completeH8549 sabbathsH7676. 16You shall countH5608 fiftyH2572 daysH3117 to the dayH4283 afterH4283 the seventhH7637 sabbathH7676; then you shall presentH7126 a 14newH2319 grain offeringH4503 to the LordH3068. 17You shall bringH935 in from your dwellingH4186 placesH4186 twoH8147 loaves of breadH3899 for a waveH8573 offeringH8573, made of two-tenthsH8147H6241 of an 15ephah; they shall be of a fineH5560 flourH5560, bakedH644 16with leavenH2557 as firstH1061 fruitsH1061 to the LordH3068. 18AlongH5921 with the breadH3899 you shall presentH7126 sevenH7651 one yearH8141 oldH1121 maleH3532 lambsH3532 withoutH8549 defectH8549, and a bullH6499H1121H1241 of the herdH1241 and twoH8147 ramsH352; they are to be a burntH5930 offeringH5930 to the LordH3068, with their grain offeringH4503 and their drinkH5262 offeringsH5262, an offeringH801 by fireH801 of a soothingH5207 aromaH7381 to the LordH3068. 19You shall also offerH6213 17oneH259 maleH8163 goatH8163 for a sinH2403 offeringH2403 and twoH8147 maleH3532 lambsH3532 one yearH8141 oldH1121 for a sacrificeH2077 of peaceH8002 offeringsH8002. 20The priestH3548 shall then waveH5130 them with the breadH3899 of the firstH1061 fruitsH1061 for a waveH8573 offeringH8573 with twoH8147 lambsH3532 beforeH6440 the LordH3068; they are to be holyH6944 to the LordH3068 for the priestH3548. 21On thisH2088 sameH6106 dayH3117 you shall 18makeH7121 a proclamationH7121 as well; you are to haveH1961 a holyH6944 convocationH4744. You shall doH6213 noH3808H3605 laboriousH5656 19workH4399. It is to be a perpetualH5769 statuteH2708 in allH3605 your dwellingH4186 placesH4186 throughout your generationsH1755.

22‘20When you reapH7114 the harvestH7105 of your landH776, moreover, you shall not reapH7114 to the very cornersH6285 of your fieldH7704 norH3808 gatherH3950 the gleaningH3951 of your harvestH7105; you are to leaveH5800 them for the needyH6041 and the alienH1616. I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’”

23Again the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 24“SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘21In the seventhH7637 monthH2320 on the firstH259 of the monthH2320 you shall haveH1961 a 22restH7677, a 23reminderH2146 by blowingH8643 of trumpets, a holyH6944 convocationH4744. 25You shall 24not doH6213 anyH3605 laboriousH5656 workH4399, but you shall presentH7126 an offeringH801 by fireH801 to the LordH3068.’”

The Day of Atonement

26The LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 27“On exactlyH389 25the tenthH6218 day of thisH2088 seventhH7637 monthH2320 is 26the dayH3117 of atonementH3725; it shall be a holyH6944 convocationH4744 for you, and you shall humbleH6031 your soulsH5315 and presentH7126 an offeringH801 by fireH801 to the LordH3068. 28You shall not doH6213 anyH3605 workH4399 on thisH2088 sameH6106 dayH3117, for it is a 27dayH3117 of atonementH3725, 28to makeH3722 atonementH3722 on your behalfH5921 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your GodH430. 29IfH3588 there is anyH3605 29personH5315 whoH834 will not humbleH6031 himself on thisH2088 sameH6106 dayH3117, 30he shall be cutH3772 offH3772 from his peopleH5971. 30As for anyH3605 personH5315 whoH834 doesH6213 anyH3605 workH4399 on thisH2088 sameH6106 dayH3117, that personH5315 I will destroyH6 from amongH7130 his peopleH5971. 31You shall doH6213 noH3808H3605 workH4399 at allH3605. It is to be a perpetualH5769 statuteH2708 throughout your generationsH1755 in allH3605 your dwellingH4186 placesH4186. 32It is to be a sabbathH7676 of completeH7677 restH7677 to you, and you shall humbleH6031 your soulsH5315; on the ninthH8672 of the monthH2320 at eveningH6153, from eveningH6153 untilH5704 eveningH6153 you shall keepH7673 your sabbathH7676.”

33Again the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 34“SpeakH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, ‘On 31the fifteenthH2568H6240 of thisH2088 seventhH7637 monthH2320 is the 32FeastH2282 of BoothsH5521 for sevenH7651 daysH3117 to the LordH3068. 35On the firstH7223 dayH3117 is a holyH6944 convocationH4744; you shall doH6213 33noH3808H3605 laboriousH5656 workH4399 of anyH3605 kind. 3634For sevenH7651 daysH3117 you shall presentH7126 an offeringH801 by fireH801 to the LordH3068. On 35the eighthH8066 dayH3117 you shall haveH1961 a holyH6944 convocationH4744 and presentH7126 an offeringH801 by fireH801 to the LordH3068; it is an assemblyH6116. You shall doH6213 noH3808H3605 laboriousH5656 workH4399.

37‘TheseH428 are 36the appointedH4150 timesH4150 of the LordH3068 whichH834 you shall proclaimH7121 as holyH6944 convocationsH4744, to presentH7126 offeringsH801 by fireH801 to the LordH3068--burntH5930 offeringsH5930 and grain offeringsH4503, sacrificesH2077 and drinkH5262 offeringsH5262, 37each day’sH3117 matterH1697 on its own dayH3117-- 38besidesH4480H905 those of the sabbathsH7676 of the LordH3068, and besidesH4480H905 your giftsH4979 and besidesH4480H905 allH3605 your 38votiveH5088 and freewillH5071 offeringsH5071, whichH834 you giveH5414 to the LordH3068.

39‘On exactlyH389 the fifteenthH2568H6240 dayH3117 of the seventhH7637 monthH2320, 39when you have gatheredH622 in the cropsH8393 of the landH776, you shall celebrateH2287 the feastH2282 of the LordH3068 for sevenH7651 daysH3117, with a 40restH7677 on the firstH7223 dayH3117 and a 41restH7677 on the eighthH8066 dayH3117. 40Now on the firstH7223 dayH3117 you shall takeH3947 for yourselves the 42foliageH6529 of beautifulH1926 treesH6086, palmH8558 branchesH3709 and boughsH6057 of leafyH5687 treesH6086 and willowsH6155 of the brookH5158, and you shall rejoiceH8055 beforeH6440 the LordH3068 your GodH430 for sevenH7651 daysH3117. 41You shall thus celebrateH2287 it as a feastH2282 to the LordH3068 for sevenH7651 daysH3117 in the yearH8141. It shall be a perpetualH5769 statuteH2708 throughout your generationsH1755; you shall celebrateH2287 it in the seventhH7637 monthH2320. 42You shall 43liveH3427 44in boothsH5521 for sevenH7651 daysH3117; allH3605 the native-bornH249 in IsraelH3478 shall 45liveH3427 in boothsH5521, 43soH4616 that 46your generationsH1755 may knowH3045 that I had the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 liveH3427 in boothsH5521 when I broughtH3318 them out from the landH776 of EgyptH4714. I am the LordH3068 your GodH430.’” 44So MosesH4872 declaredH1696 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 47the appointedH4150 timesH4150 of the LordH3068.
