Feasts and Holy Convocations
And the Lord spoke unto Moses saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel,
And say into them, concerning the
Feasts of the Lord,
Which ye shall proclaim to be
Holy convocations, even these Are my feasts.
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the
Sabbath of rest, and holy convocation, ye shall do no
work therein; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your
dwellings.
These
are the feasts of the Lord,
even holy
convocations,
which ye
shall proclaim
in
their seasons.
In the fourteenth day of the first month at
even is the
Lord’s Passover.
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.
In the first day ye shall have and
Holy Convocation:
ye shall do no servile work therein.
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.
And the Lord spoke unto Moses saying,
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 from your
harvest unto the priest;
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.
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.
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 savour and the drink offering
thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
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.
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:
even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall ye number
fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto
the Lord.
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two
tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken
with leaven;
they are the firstfruits unto the Lord.
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
savour unto the Lord.
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.
And the priests 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.
And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be and Holy
Convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work
therein:
It shall be for a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
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.
And the Lord spoke unto Moses saying,
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 the trumpets, an holy convocation.
Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an
offering made by fire unto the Lord.
And the Lord spoke unto Moses saying,
Also 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.
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.
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day,
he shall be cut off from among his people.
And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the
same soul will I destroy from among his people.
Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout
your generations in all your dwellings.
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.
And the Lord spoke unto Moses saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel sayin, the fifteenth day
of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the
Lord.
On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no
servile work therein.
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.
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:
Besides 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.
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.
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.
And ye shall keep 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.
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are
Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
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.
And Moses declared unto the children of
Israel
the feasts of the Lord.
