Leviticus 23:1-22 — The Appointed Feasts

Lev.23.1-22

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ²Speak to the Israelites and say to them: The appointed times of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim as holy convocations—these are my appointed times. ³For six days work may be done, but on the seventh day there is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work at all; it is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings. ⁴These are the appointed times of Yahweh, holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at their appointed time. ⁵In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at twilight, is Yahweh’s Passover. ⁶And on the fifteenth day of this month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to Yahweh; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. ⁷On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no regular work. ⁸And for seven days you shall present an offering by fire to Yahweh. On the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no regular work. ⁹Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁰Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you come into the land that I am giving you, and you reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. ¹¹He shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh for your acceptance; the priest shall wave it on the day after the Sabbath. ¹²And on the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without blemish, one year old , as a burnt offering to Yahweh. ¹³And its grain offering shall be two tenths of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering by fire to Yahweh, a pleasing aroma; and its drink offering shall be wine, a quarter of a hin. ¹⁴You shall eat neither bread nor roasted grain nor fresh grain until this very day, until you have brought the offering of your God. It is a permanent statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings. ¹⁵And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day you bring the sheaf of the wave offering: seven complete Sabbaths . ¹⁶You shall count fifty days, up to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall present a new grain offering to Yahweh. ¹⁷From your dwellings you shall bring two loaves of bread for a wave offering; they shall be made of two tenths of fine flour and baked with leaven, as firstfruits to Yahweh. ¹⁸And with the bread you shall present seven lambs without blemish, one year old, and one bull from the herd and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to Yahweh, together with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, an offering by fire, a pleasing aroma to Yahweh. ¹⁹And you shall offer one male goat for a sin offering and two male lambs, one year old, for a sacrifice of peace offerings. ²⁰And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest. ²¹And on this very day you shall make proclamation; there shall be a holy convocation for you. You shall do no regular work. It is a permanent statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations. ²²And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap your field clear to its edge, nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner. I am Yahweh your God.
