¹ And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,² Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, The set feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.³ Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no manner of work: it is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings.

⁴ These are the set feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.⁵ In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is Yahweh's passover.⁶ And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Yahweh: seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.⁷ In the first day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.⁸ But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh seven days: in the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work.⁹ And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,¹⁰ Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest:¹¹ and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you: on the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.¹² And in the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a he-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt-offering to Yahweh.¹³ And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.¹⁴ And you shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this very same day, until you have brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

¹⁵ And you shall count to yourselves from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave-offering; there shall be seven complete Sabbaths:¹⁶ even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal-offering to Yahweh.¹⁷ From your habitations you shall bring bread as a wave offering: two [loaves] of two tenth parts [of an ephah]: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with leaven, for first fruits to Yahweh.¹⁸ And you shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bull, and two rams: they shall be a burnt-offering to Yahweh, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to Yahweh.¹⁹ And you shall offer one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace-offerings.²⁰ And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave-offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest.²¹ And you shall make proclamation on the very same day; there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no servile work: it is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.²² And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor, and for the sojourner: I am Yahweh your God.

²³ And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,²⁴ Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.²⁵ You shall do no servile work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.²⁶ And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,²⁷ Nevertheless on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict your souls; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.²⁸ And you shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God.²⁹ For whatever soul it is that shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be cut off from his relatives.³⁰ And whatever soul it is that does any manner of work in that same day, that soul I will destroy from among his people.³¹ You shall do no manner of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.³² It shall be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.

³³ And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,³⁴ Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days to Yahweh.³⁵ On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.³⁶ Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh: it is a solemn assembly; you shall do no servile work.³⁷ These are the set feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;³⁸ besides the Sabbaths of Yahweh, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill-offerings, which you give to Yahweh.³⁹ Nevertheless on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahweh seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.⁴⁰ And you shall take to yourselves 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 Yahweh your God seven days.⁴¹ And you shall keep it a feast to Yahweh seven days in the year: it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month.⁴² You shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home-born in Israel shall dwell in booths;⁴³ that your generations may know that I made the sons of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Yahweh your God.⁴⁴ And Moses declared to the sons of Israel the set feasts of Yahweh.
