Leviticus 23 (WEBP)

[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[2] “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell 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 kind 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 in the evening, is Yahweh’s Passover.
[6] 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 regular 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 regular work.’ ”
[9] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[10] “Speak to the children of Israel, 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.
[11] 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] On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt offering to Yahweh.
[13] The meal offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
[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 statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
[15] “ ‘You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.
[16] The next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Yahweh.
[17] You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to Yahweh.
[18] You 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 Yahweh, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yahweh.
[19] You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
[20] 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] You shall make proclamation on the same day that there shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
[22] “ ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not wholly reap into the corners of your field. 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.’ ”
[23] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[24] “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, there shall be a solemn rest for you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
[25] You shall do no regular work. You shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.’ ”
[26] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[27] “However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement. It shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall afflict yourselves and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
[28] You shall do no kind of work in that same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God.
[29] For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day shall be cut off from his people.
[30] Whoever does any kind of work in that same day, I will destroy that person from among his people.
[31] You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
[32] It shall be a Sabbath 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 Sabbath.”
[33] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[34] “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths for seven days to Yahweh.
[35] On the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular 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. You shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.
[37] “ ‘These are the appointed feasts of Yahweh which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day—
[38] in addition to the Sabbaths of Yahweh, and in addition to your gifts, and in addition to all your vows, and in addition to all your free will offerings, which you give to Yahweh.
[39] “ ‘So 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] You shall take on the first day the fruit of majestic 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] You shall keep it as 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 temporary shelters for seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in temporary shelters,
[43] that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in temporary shelters when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.’ ”
[44] So Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of Yahweh.

Young’s Literal Translation

Leviticus 23 (YLT)

[1] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[2] ‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy convocations, are these: they are My appointed seasons:
[3] six days is work done, and in the seventh day is a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it is a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.
[4] ‘These are appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons:
[5] in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, is the passover to Jehovah;
[6] and on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;
[7] on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work;
[8] and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.’
[9] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[10] ‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, the beginning of your harvest unto the priest,
[11] then he hath waved the sheaf before Jehovah for your acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath doth the priest wave it.
[12] ‘And ye have prepared in the day of your waving the sheaf a lamb, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah,
[13] and its present two tenth deals of flour mixed with oil, a fire-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, and its drink-offering, wine, a fourth of the hin.
[14] ‘And bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering of your God-a statute age-during to your generations, in all your dwellings.
[15] ‘And ye have numbered to you from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day of your bringing in the sheaf of the wave-offering: they are seven perfect sabbaths;
[16] unto the morrow of the seventh sabbath ye do number fifty days, and ye have brought near a new present to Jehovah;
[17] out of your dwellings ye bring in bread of a wave-offering, two loaves, of two tenth deals of flour they are, with yeast they are baken, first-fruits to Jehovah.
[18] ‘And ye have brought near, besides the bread, seven lambs, perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams; they are a burnt-offering to Jehovah, with their present and their libations, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.
[19] ‘And ye have prepared one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of peace-offerings,
[20] and the priest hath waved them, besides the bread of the first-fruits-a wave-offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest;
[21] and ye have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy convocation is to you, ye do no servile work-a statute age-during in all your dwellings, to your generations.
[22] ‘And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah am your God.’
[23] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[24] ‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation;
[25] ye do no servile work, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah.’
[26] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[27] ‘Only-on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah;
[28] and ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your God.
[29] ‘For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off from his people;
[30] and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of his people;
[31] ye do no work-a statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings.
[32] It is a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.’
[33] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[34] ‘Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month is a feast of booths seven days to Jehovah;
[35] on the first day is a holy convocation, ye do no servile work,
[36] seven days ye bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it is a restraint, ye do no servile work.
[37] ‘These are appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in its day,
[38] apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.
[39] ‘Only-in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day is a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath;
[40] and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days.
[41] ‘And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year-a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast.
[42] ‘In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel dwell in booths,
[43] so that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, am your God.’
[44] And Moses speaketh concerning the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.
