Chapter 23

1


 

  Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,  

 

 

-

2


 

  Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, The set feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.  

 

 

-

3


 

  Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no manner of work: it is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings.  

 

 

-

4


 

  These are the set feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.  

 

 

-

5


 

  In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is Yahweh's Passover.  

 

 

-

6


 

  On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Yahweh: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.  

 

 

-

7


 

  In the first day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.  

 

 

-

8


 

  But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh seven days: in the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work.  

 

 

-

9


 

  Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,  

 

 

-

10


 

  Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, When you are come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest of it, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest:  

 

 

-

11


 

  and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.  

 

 

-

12


 

  In the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a he-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt offering to Yahweh.  

 

 

-

13


 

  The meal-offering of it shall be two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering of it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.  

 

 

-

14


 

  You shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.  

 

 

-

15


 

  You shall count to you from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave-offering; seven Sabbaths shall there be complete:  

 

 

-

16


 

  even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath shall you number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal-offering to Yahweh.  

 

 

-

17


 

  You shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts [of an ephah]: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with yeast, for first-fruits to Yahweh.  

 

 

-

18


 

  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 meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.  

 

 

-

19


 

  You shall offer one male goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace-offerings.  

 

 

-

20


 

  The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for a wave-offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest.  

 

 

-

21


 

  You shall make proclamation on the same day; there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no servile work: it is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.  

 

 

-

22


 

  When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor, and for the sojourner: I am Yahweh your God.  

 

 

-

23


 

  Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,  

 

 

-

24


 

  Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.  

 

 

-

25


 

  You shall do no servile work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.  

 

 

-

26


 

  Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,  

 

 

-

27


 

  However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict your souls; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.  

 

 

-

28


 

  You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God.  

 

 

-

29


 

  For whatever soul it be who shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be cut off from his people.  

 

 

-

30


 

  Whatever soul it be who does any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people.  

 

 

-

31


 

  You shall do no manner of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.  

 

 

-

32


 

  It shall be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even to even, shall you keep your Sabbath.  

 

 

-

33


 

  Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,  

 

 

-

34


 

  Speak to the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tents for seven days to Yahweh.  

 

 

-

35


 

  On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.  

 

 

-

36


 

  Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh: it is a solemn assembly; you shall do no servile work.  

 

 

-

37


 

  These are the set feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;  

 

 

-

38


 

  besides the Sabbaths of Yahweh, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill-offerings, which you give to Yahweh.  

 

 

-

39


 

  However on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahweh seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.  

 

 

-

40


 

  You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm-trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God seven days.  

 

 

-

41


 

  You shall keep it a feast to Yahweh seven days in the year: it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month.  

 

 

-

42


 

  You shall dwell in booths seven days; all who are home-born in Israel shall dwell in booths;  

 

 

-

43


 

  that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your God.  

 

 

-

44


 

  Moses declared to the children of Israel the set feasts of Yahweh.
