Leviticus 23:23-44

23The Lord spoke to Moses:

24“Tell the Israelites, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you must have a complete rest, a memorial announced by loud horn blasts, a holy assembly.

25You must not do any regular work, but you must present a gift to the Lord.’”

26The Lord spoke to Moses:

27“The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It is to be a holy assembly for you, and you must humble yourselves and present a gift to the Lord.

28You must not do any work on this particular day, because it is a day of atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the Lord your God.

29Indeed, any person who does not behave with humility on this particular day will be cut off from his people.

30As for any person who does any work on this particular day, I will exterminate that person from the midst of his people!

31You must not do any work. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all the places where you live.

32It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must humble yourselves on the ninth day of the month in the evening, from evening until evening you must observe your Sabbath.”

33The Lord spoke to Moses:

34“Tell the Israelites, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Temporary Shelters for seven days to the Lord.

35On the first day is a holy assembly; you must do no regular work.

36For seven days you must present a gift to the Lord. On the eighth day there is to be a holy assembly for you, and you must present a gift to the Lord. It is a solemn assembly day; you must not do any regular work.

37“‘These are the appointed times of the Lord that you must proclaim as holy assemblies to present a gift to the Lord – burnt offering, grain offering, sacrifice, and drink offerings, each day according to its regulation,

38besides the Sabbaths of the Lord and all your gifts, votive offerings, and freewill offerings which you must give to the Lord.

39“‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the produce of the land, you must celebrate a pilgrim festival of the Lord for seven days. On the first day is a complete rest and on the eighth day is complete rest.

40On the first day you must take for yourselves branches from majestic trees – palm branches, branches of leafy trees, and willows of the brook – and you must rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.

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

42You must live in temporary shelters for seven days; every native citizen in Israel must live in temporary shelters,

43so that your future generations may know that I made the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’”

44So Moses spoke to the Israelites about the appointed times of the Lord.
