Leviticus 23 — ULB
23Verse 1Yahweh spoke to Moses:Verse 2“Speak to the people of Israel, and say to them, 'These are the appointed festivals for Yahweh, which you must proclaim as holy assemblies; they are my regular festivals.Verse 3You may work for six days, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy assembly. You must do no work because it is a Sabbath for Yahweh in all the places where you live.Verse 4These are the appointed festivals of Yahweh, the holy assemblies that you must announce at their appointed times:Verse 5In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is Yahweh's Passover.Verse 6On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread for Yahweh. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.Verse 7The first day you must set apart to gather together; you will not do any of your regular work.Verse 8You will present a food offering to Yahweh for seven days. The seventh day is an assembly set apart to Yahweh, and on that day you must not do any regular work.'”Verse 9Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,Verse 10“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, 'When you have come into the land that I will give you, and when you reap its harvest, then you must bring a bundle of the firstfruit of the grain to the priest.Verse 11He will raise the bundle of grain before Yahweh and present it to him, for it to be accepted on your behalf. It is on the day after the Sabbath that the priest will raise it and present it to me.Verse 12On the day when you raise the bundle of grain and present it to me, you must offer a male lamb one year old and without blemish as a burnt offering to Yahweh.Verse 13The grain offering must be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, to produce a sweet aroma, and with it a drink offering of wine, a fourth of a hin.Verse 14You must eat no bread, nor roasted or fresh grain, until the same day you have brought this offering to your God. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations, in every place that you live.Verse 15Beginning from the day after the Sabbath—that was the day you brought the bundle of grain as the wave offering—count seven full weeks.Verse 16You must count fifty days, which would be the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you must present an offering of new grain to Yahweh.Verse 17You must bring out of your houses two loaves made from two-tenths of an ephah. They must be made from fine flour and baked with yeast; they will be a wave offering of the firstfruits to Yahweh.Verse 18You must present with the bread seven lambs one year old and without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They must be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire and producing a sweet aroma for Yahweh.Verse 19You must offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice, as fellowship offerings.Verse 20The priest must wave them together with the bread of the firstfruits before Yahweh, and present them to him as an offering with the two lambs. They will be holy offerings to Yahweh for the priest.Verse 21You must make a proclamation on that same day. There will be a holy assembly, and you must do no ordinary work. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations in all the places where you live.Verse 22When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not completely reap the corners of your fields, and you must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.'”Verse 23Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,Verse 24“Speak to the people of Israel and say, 'In the seventh month, the first day of that month will be a solemn rest for you, a memorial with the blowing of trumpets, and a holy assembly.Verse 25You must do no ordinary work, and you must offer a sacrifice made by fire to Yahweh.'”Verse 26Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,Verse 27“Now the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It is to be a holy assembly, and you must humble yourselves and present to Yahweh an offering by fire.Verse 28You must do no work on that day because it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for yourselves before Yahweh your God.Verse 29Whoever does not humble himself on that day must be cut off from his people.Verse 30Whoever does any work on that day, I, Yahweh, will destroy him from among his people.Verse 31You must do no work of any kind on that day. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations in all the places where you live.Verse 32This day must be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you must humble yourselves the ninth day of the month at the evening. From evening to evening you are to observe your Sabbath.”Verse 33Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,Verse 34“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month will be the Festival of Shelters for Yahweh. It will last seven days.Verse 35On the first day there must be a holy assembly. You must do no ordinary work.Verse 36For seven days you must offer a sacrifice made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day there must be a holy assembly, and you must make a sacrifice offered with fire to Yahweh. This is a solemn assembly, and you must not do any ordinary work.Verse 37These are the appointed festivals for Yahweh, which you must proclaim as holy assemblies to offer sacrifice by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering and a grain offering, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its own day.Verse 38These festivals will be in addition to the Sabbaths of Yahweh and your gifts, all your vows, and all your freewill offerings that you give to Yahweh.Verse 39Regarding the Festival of Shelters, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you must keep this festival of Yahweh for seven days. The first day will be a solemn rest, and the eighth day will also be a solemn rest.Verse 40On the first day you must take the best fruit from the trees, branches of palm trees, and leafy branches of thick trees, and willows from streams, and you will rejoice before Yahweh your God for seven days.Verse 41For seven days each year, you must celebrate this festival for Yahweh. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations in all the places where you live. You must celebrate this festival in the seventh month.Verse 42You must live in small shelters for seven days. All native-born Israelites must live in small shelters for seven days,Verse 43so that your descendants, generation after generation, may learn how I made the people of Israel live in such shelters when I led them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.'”Verse 44In this way, Moses announced to the people of Israel the appointed festivals for Yahweh.
