1 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

The Lord spoke again to Moses, saying,

2 ` Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy convocations, these: they My appointed seasons:

“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 s ix days is work done, and in the seventh day a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.

‘ 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 appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons:

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

5 i n the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, the passover to Jehovah;

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

6 a nd on the fifteenth day of this month the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;

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 ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work;

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

8 a nd ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'

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 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

10 ` Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, the beginning of your harvest unto the priest,

“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 t hen he hath waved the sheaf before Jehovah for your acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath doth the priest wave it.

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 ` And ye have prepared in the day of your waving the sheaf a lamb, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah,

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 a nd its present two tenth deals of flour mixed with oil, a fire-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, and its drink-offering, wine, a fourth of the hin.

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 ` And bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering of your God -- a statute age-during to your generations, in all your dwellings.

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 ` And ye have numbered to you from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day of your bringing in the sheaf of the wave-offering: they are seven perfect sabbaths;

‘ 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 u nto the morrow of the seventh sabbath ye do number fifty days, and ye have brought near a new present to Jehovah;

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

17 o ut of your dwellings ye bring in bread of a wave-offering, two, of two tenth deals of flour they are, yeast they are baken, first- to Jehovah.

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 ` And ye have brought near, besides the bread, seven lambs, perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams; they are a burnt-offering to Jehovah, with their present and their libations, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.

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 ` And ye have prepared one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of peace-offerings,

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 a nd the priest hath waved them, besides the bread of the first- -- a wave-offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest;

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 a nd ye have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy convocation is to you, ye do no servile work -- a statute age-during in all your dwellings, to your generations.

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 ` And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah your God.'

‘ 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 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

24 ` Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation;

“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 y e do no servile work, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah.'

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

26 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

27 ` Only -- on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah;

“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 a nd ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah 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 ` For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off 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 a nd any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of his people;

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

31 y e do no work -- a statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings.

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 a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'

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 A nd Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

34 ` Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month a feast of booths seven days to Jehovah;

“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 o n the first day a holy convocation, ye do no servile work,

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

36 s even days ye bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it a restraint, ye do no servile 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 appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in its 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 a part from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.

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 ` Only -- in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath;

‘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 a nd ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God 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 ` And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year -- a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast.

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 ` In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel dwell in booths,

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

43 s o that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, 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 A nd Moses speaketh the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.

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