Chapter
23
1
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of
the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my
feasts.
3
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an
holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in
all your dwellings.
4
These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim
in their seasons.
5
In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD’S passover.
6
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread
unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7
In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein.
8
But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the
seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
9
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
10
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the
land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall
bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
11
And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the
morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12
And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish
of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
13
And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled
with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the
drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
14
And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the
selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a
statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15
And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that
ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16
Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and
ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
17
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they
shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the
firstfruits unto the LORD.
18
And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first
year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering
unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an
offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
19
Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs
of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20
And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave
offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD
for the priest.
21
And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation
unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever
in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance
of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any
gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the
stranger: I am the LORD your God.
23
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
24
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first
day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets,
an holy convocation.
25
Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by
fire unto the LORD.
26
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
27
Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement:
it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and
offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
28
And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make
an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he
shall be cut off from among his people.
30
And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul
will I destroy from among his people.
31
Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your
generations in all your dwellings.
32
It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the
ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your
sabbath.
33
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
34
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh
month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
35
On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein.
36
Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth
day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made
by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work
therein.
37
These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy
convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt
offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing
upon his day:
38
Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your
vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
39
Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the
fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first
day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40
And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of
palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye
shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
41
And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be
a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh
month.
42
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born 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 the LORD your God.
44
And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
