1 T he Lord said to Moses,

The Lord spoke again to Moses, saying,

2 “ Say to the people of Israel, ‘These are the special suppers of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings. These are My special suppers.

“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘ The Lord’s appointed times which you shall proclaim as holy convocations—My appointed times are these:

3 W ork may be done for six days. But the seventh day is the Day of Rest, a holy meeting when you do no work at all. It is the Day of Rest to the Lord in all your homes. The Supper of Bread without Yeast

‘ For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall not do any work; it is a sabbath to the Lord in all your dwellings.

4 ‘ These are the special suppers of the Lord, the holy meetings you will keep at the right times.

‘These are the appointed times of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them.

5 O n the fourteenth day of the first month in the evening begins the Lord’s religious gathering to remember how His people left Egypt.

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover.

6 O n the fifteenth day of the same month is the Lord’s special supper of bread without yeast. For seven days you will eat bread made without yeast.

Then on the fifteenth day of the same month there is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

7 O n the first day you will have a holy meeting. You will not do any hard work.

On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.

8 B ut you will give a gift by fire to the Lord for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy meeting. You will not do any hard work.’” The Supper of First Fruits

But for seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.’”

9 T hen the Lord said to Moses,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

10 “ Say to the people of Israel, ‘When you come into the land I am going to give you and gather its grain, bring some of the first fruits of your grain to the religious leader.

“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land which I am going to give to you and reap its harvest, then you shall bring in the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.

11 H e will wave the grain before the Lord for you to be received. The religious leader will wave it on the day after the Day of Rest.

He shall wave the sheaf before the Lord for you to be accepted; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

12 O n the day when you wave the grain, you will give a perfect, one year old male lamb as a burnt gift to the Lord.

Now on the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb one year old without defect for a burnt offering to the Lord.

13 T he grain gift with it will be one-fifth part of a basket of fine flour mixed with oil. It is a gift by fire to the Lord for a pleasing smell. And the drink gift with it will be a jar of wine.

Its grain offering shall then be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering by fire to the Lord for a soothing aroma, with its drink offering, a fourth of a hin of wine.

14 D o not eat bread or dry grain or new grain until this same day, when you have brought the gift to your God. It is to be a Law forever for all your people in all your homes. The Supper of Weeks

Until this same day, until you have brought in the offering of your God, you shall eat neither bread nor roasted grain nor new growth. It is to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.

15 ‘ Number seven full weeks from the day after the Day of Rest, from the day when you give the grain for the wave gift. There will be seven whole Days of Rest.

‘ You shall also count for yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete sabbaths.

16 N umber fifty days to the day after the seventh Day of Rest. Then give a new grain gift to the Lord.

You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh sabbath; then you shall present a new grain offering to the Lord.

17 B ring from your homes two loaves of bread for a wave gift, made of one-fifth part of a basket of fine flour. They will be made with yeast, as first-fruits to the Lord.

You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of a fine flour, baked with leaven as first fruits to the Lord.

18 W ith the bread give seven one year old male lambs that are perfect, and one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt gift to the Lord, with their grain gift and their drink gift. It is a gift by fire with a pleasing smell to the Lord.

Along with the bread you shall present seven one year old male lambs without defect, and a bull of the herd and two rams; they are to be a burnt offering to the Lord, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

19 T hen give one male goat for a sin gift and two male lambs one year old for a peace gift.

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

20 T he religious leader will wave them with the bread of the first-fruits as a wave gift before the Lord, with the two lambs. They will be holy to the Lord for the religious leader.

The priest shall then wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering with two lambs before the Lord; they are to be holy to the Lord for the priest.

21 O n this same day call together a holy meeting. Do no hard work. It is a Law forever in all your homes for all your people.

On this same day you shall make a proclamation as well; you are to have a holy convocation. You shall do no laborious work. It is to be a perpetual statute in all your dwelling places throughout your generations.

22 ‘ When you gather the food of your land, do not pick all the way to the corners of your field. And do not gather the food that falls. Leave it for those in need and the stranger. I am the Lord your God.’” The Supper of Horns

‘ When you reap the harvest of your land, moreover, you shall not reap to the very corners of your field nor gather the gleaning of your harvest; you are to leave them for the needy and the alien. I am the Lord your God.’”

23 T he Lord said to Moses,

Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

24 “ Say to the people of Israel, ‘On the first day of the seventh month, you will have a Day of Rest. It will be a day of remembering, made known by the blowing of horns, a holy meeting.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘ In the seventh month on the first of the month you shall have a rest, a reminder by blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

25 D o not do any hard work. But give a gift by fire to the Lord.’” A Day to Be Made Free from Sin

You shall not do any laborious work, but you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord.’” The Day of Atonement

26 T hen the Lord said to Moses,

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

27 “ The tenth day of this seventh month is the day to be made free from sin. It will be a holy meeting for you. You will be without pride and give a gift by fire to the Lord.

“On exactly the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble your souls and present an offering by fire to the Lord.

28 “ Do no work on this day. For it is a day to be made free from sin, to be made free from your sin before the Lord your God.

You shall not do any work on this same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement on your behalf before the Lord your God.

29 I f there is any person who will not be free from his pride on this day, he will be kept away from his people.

If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day, he shall be cut off from his people.

30 W hoever does any work on this day, I will destroy from among his people.

As for any person who does any work on this same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.

31 D o no work at all. It is a Law forever for all your people in all your homes.

You shall do no work at all. It is to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.

32 I t will be a Day of Rest for you. And you must be without pride. You will keep your Day of Rest from evening until evening on the ninth day of the month.” Supper of Tents

It is to be a sabbath of complete rest to you, and you shall humble your souls; on the ninth of the month at evening, from evening until evening you shall keep your sabbath.”

33 T he Lord said to Moses,

Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

34 “ Say to the people of Israel, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the special supper of tents to the Lord. It will last seven days.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘On the fifteenth of this seventh month is the Feast of Booths for seven days to the Lord.

35 A holy meeting will be on the first day. Do no hard work of any kind.

On the first day is a holy convocation; you shall do no laborious work of any kind.

36 G ive a gift by fire to the Lord for seven days. On the eighth day have a holy meeting and give a gift by fire to the Lord. It is a special gathering. Do no hard work.

For seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation and present an offering by fire to the Lord; it is an assembly. You shall do no laborious work.

37 ‘ These are the special suppers, the holy meetings you will keep at the right times. They will be for giving to the Lord gifts by fire, burnt gifts and grain gifts, gifts of animals and drink gifts, each on its own day.

‘These are the appointed times of the Lord which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present offerings by fire to the Lord —burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each day’s matter on its own day—

38 T hese are to be added to the Days of Rest of the Lord, and your gifts, both those that are promised and your free-will gifts that you give to the Lord.

besides those of the sabbaths of the Lord, and besides your gifts and besides all your votive and freewill offerings, which you give to the Lord.

39 ‘ On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered the food of your land, you will have the special supper of the Lord for seven days. The first day and the eighth day will be Days of Rest.

‘On exactly the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the crops of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord for seven days, with a rest on the first day and a rest on the eighth day.

40 O n the first day, you will take the leaves of beautiful trees, branches of trees with big leaves and of trees beside the river. And be full of joy before the Lord your God for seven days.

Now on the first day you shall take for yourselves the foliage of beautiful trees, palm branches and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.

41 Y ou will keep it as a special supper to the Lord seven days in the year. It will be a Law forever for all your people. You will have it in the seventh month.

You shall thus celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

42 Y ou will live in tents for seven days. All who were born in Israel will live in tents.

You shall live in booths for seven days; all the native-born in Israel shall live in booths,

43 S o all your people to come may know that I had the people of Israel live in tents when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’”

so that your generations may know that I had the sons of Israel live in booths when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’”

44 S o Moses made known to the people of Israel the special suppers of the Lord.

So Moses declared to the sons of Israel the appointed times of the Lord.
