Leviticus Chapter 23

Leviticus Chapter 23
1 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say unto them, The feasts of the Lord
which ye shall call the holy assemblies,
even these are my feasts. 3 Six days
shall work be done, but in the seventh
day shall be 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, and
holy convocations, which ye shall
proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the first month , and in the fourteenth
day of the month at evening shall be the
Passover of the Lord.
6 And on the fifteenth day of this month
shall be the feast of unleavened bread
unto the Lord: seven days ye shall eat
unleavened bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile work
therein.
8 Also ye shall offer sacrifice made by
fire unto the Lord seven days, and in the
seventh day shall be 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 reap the
harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a
sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest
unto the priest, 11 And he shall shake the
sheaf before the Lord, that it may be
acceptable for you: the morrow after the
Sabbath, the priest shall shake it.
12 And that day when ye shake the sheaf,
shall ye prepare a lamb without blemish
of a year old, for a burnt offering unto
the Lord:
13 And the meat offering thereof shall
be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled
with oil, for a sacrifice made by fire
unto the Lord of sweet savor. And the
drink offering thereof the fourth part of
an hin of wine.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread nor
parched corn, nor green ears until the
self same day that ye have brought an
offering unto your God: this shall be a
law forever in your generations and in
all your dwellings.
15 Ye shall count also to you from the
morrow after the Sabbath, even from the
day that ye shall bring the sheaf of the
shake offering, seven Sabbaths, they
shall be complete.
16 Unto the morrow after the seventh
Sabbath shall ye number fifty days: then
ye shall bring a new meat offering unto
the Lord.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations
bread for the shake offering: they shall
be two loaves of two tenth deals of fine
flour , which shall be baken with leaven
for first fruits unto the Lord.
18 Also ye shall offer with the bread
seven lambs without blemish of one year
old, and a young bullock and two rams:
they shall be for a burnt offering unto the
Lord, with their meat offerings and their
drink offerings, for a sacrifice made by
fire of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
19 Then ye shall prepare an he goat for a
sin offering, and two lambs of one year
old for peace offerings.
20 And the priest shall shake them to and
fro with the bread of the first fruits
before the Lord , and with the two
lambs: they shall be holy to the Lord, for
the priest.
21 So ye shall proclaim the same day,
that it may be an holy convocation unto
you: ye shall do no servile work
therein: it shall be an ordinance forever
in all your dwellings, throughout your
generations.
22 And when you reap the harvest of
your land, thou shalt not rid clean the
corners of thy field when thou reapest,
neither shalt thou make any after
gathering of thy harvest , but 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, and
say, In the seventh month, and in the first
day of the month shall ye have a
Sabbath, for the remembrance of
blowing the trumpets, an holy
convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein,
but offer sacrifice made by fire unto the
Lord.
26 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
27 The tenth also of this seventh month
shall be a day of reconciliation: it shall
be an holy convocation unto you, and ye
shall humble your souls, and offer
sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord.
28 And ye shall do no work that same
day: for it is a day of reconciliation, to
make an atonement for you before the
Lord your God.
29 For every person that humbleth not
himself that same day, shall even be cut
off from his people.
30 And every person that shall do any
work that same day, the same person
also will I destroy from among his
people.
31 Ye shall do no manner work
therefore: this shall be a law forever in
your generations, throughout all your
dwellings.
32 This shall be unto you a Sabbath of
rest, and ye shall humble your souls: in
the ninth day of the month at even, from
even to even shall ye celebrate your
Sabbath.
33 And the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, and
say, In the fifteenth day of this seventh
month shall be for seven days the feast
of tabernacles unto the Lord. 35 In the
first day shall be an holy convocation:
ye shall do no servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer sacrifice
made by fire unto the Lord, and in the
eighth day shall be an holy convocation
unto you, and ye shall offer sacrifices
made by fire unto the Lord: it is the
solemn assembly, ye shall do no servile
work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the Lord
(which ye shall call holy convocations)
to offer sacrifice made by fire unto the
Lord, as burnt offering, and meat
offering, sacrifice, and drink offerings,
every one upon his day,
38 Beside the Sabbaths of the Lord, and
beside your gifts, and beside all your
vows, and beside all your free offerings,
which ye shall give unto the Lord. 39
But in the fifteenth day of the seventh
month, when ye have gathered in the fruit
of the land, ye shall keep an holy feast
unto the Lord seven days: in the first day
shall be a Sabbath: likewise in the
eighth day shall be a Sabbath. 40 And ye
shall take you in the first day the fruit of
goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and
the boughs of thick trees, and willows of
the brook, and shall rejoice before the
Lord your God seven days.
41 So ye shall keep this feast unto the
Lord seven days in the year, by a
perpetual ordinance through your
generations: in the seventh month shall
you keep it.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days:
all that are Israelites born, shall dwell in
booths,
43 That your posterity may know that I
have 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 So Moses declared unto the children
of Israel the feasts of the Lord.
