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 savor: 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 baked 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 savor 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. |
