Seven days you shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread·.Verse 7+In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular aboda ·service·.Verse 8+But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai seven days.+In the seventh day is a holy convocation:+you shall do no regular aboda ·service·.’”Verse 9Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,Verse 10+“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest:Verse 11and he shall wave the sheaf before Adonai, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Shabath ·Intermission· the priest shall wave it.Verse 12On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt offering to Adonai.Verse 13The meal offering with it shall be one tenth of an ephah [two omers; 4.6 q; 4.4 L] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to Adonai for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin [2.6 qt; 1.2 L].Verse 14+You must not eat bread,+or roasted grain,+or fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a regulation forever throughout all your generations in all your dwellings.Verse 15+“‘You shall count from the next day after the Shabath ·Intermission·, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Shab'totay ·Intermissions· shall be completed:Verse 16even to the next day after the seventh Shabath ·Intermission· you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Adonai.Verse 17+You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of one tenth of an ephah [two omers; 4.6 q; 4.4 L] of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to Adonai.Verse 18You shall present with the bread seven lambs without defect a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to Adonai, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Adonai.Verse 19You shall offer one male goat for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings.Verse 20+The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before Adonai , with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Adonai for the priest.Verse 21+You shall make proclamation on the same day: there shall be a holy convocation to you;+you shall do no regular aboda ·service·. This is a regulation forever in all your dwellings throughout all your generations.Verse 22“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not wholly reap into the corners of your field, and you must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor, and for the foreigner. I am Adonai your God.’” (5)Verse 23Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,Verse 24+“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘In the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]·, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of shofarot ·ram horns·, a holy convocation.Verse 25+You shall do no regular aboda ·service·; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai.’”Verse 26Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,Verse 27“However on the tenth day of this seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]· is Yom-Kippur ·Day of Atonement·: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai.Verse 28You shall do no kind of work in that same day; for it is Yom-Kippur ·Day of Atonement·, to make atonement for you before Adonai your God.Verse 29For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off from his people.Verse 30Whoever it is who does any kind of work in that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.Verse 31You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout all your generations in all your dwellings.Verse 32+It shall be a Shabath ·Intermission· of solemn rest for you,+and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening,+you shall keep your Shabath ·Intermission·.” (6)Verse 33Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,Verse 34“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]· is the festival of Sukkot ·Booths· for seven days to Adonai.Verse 35+On the first day shall be a holy convocation:+you shall do no regular aboda ·service·.Verse 36Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai.+On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai. It is a solemn assembly;+you shall do no regular aboda ·service·.Verse 37“‘These are the appointed feasts of Adonai, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Adonai, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day;Verse 38besides the Shabath ·Intermission· of Adonai, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your free will offerings, which you give to Adonai.Verse 39“‘So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]·, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the festival of Adonai seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.Verse 40+You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Adonai your God seven days.Verse 41You shall keep it a feast to Adonai seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout all your generations. You shall keep it in the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]·.Verse 42+You shall dwell in sukkot ·temporary tents· seven days. All who are native-born in Israel [God prevails] shall dwell in a sukkah ·temporary tent·,Verse 43that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel [God prevails] to dwell in sukkot ·temporary tents·, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. I am Adonai your God.’”Verse 44Moses [Drawn out] declared to the children of Israel [God prevails] the appointed feasts of Adonai.
