Dual Panel1THE LORD told Moses
2to say to the Israelites: These are the appointed seasons of the LORD, and you are to proclaim them as sacred assemblies; these are my appointed seasons.
3On six days work may be done, but every seventh day is a day of solemn abstinence from work, a day of sacred assembly, on which you must do no work. Wherever you live, it is the LORD's sabbath.
4These are the appointed seasons of the LORD, the sacred assemblies which you are to proclaim in their appointed order.
5In the first month on the fourteenth day between dusk and dark is the LORD's Passover.
6On the fifteenth day of the same month begins the LORD's pilgrim-feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you are to eat unleavened bread.
7On the first day there will be a sacred assembly; you are not to do your daily work.
8For seven days you must present your food-offerings to the LORD. On the seventh day also there will be a sacred assembly; you are not to do your daily work.
9The LORD told Moses
10to say to the Israelites: When you enter the land which I am giving you, and you reap its harvest, you are to bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest.
11He will present the sheaf as a dedicated portion before the LORD on the day after the sabbath, so as to gain acceptance for you.
12On the day you present the sheaf, you are to prepare a perfect yearling ram for a whole-offering to the LORD,
13together with the proper grain-offering, two tenths of an ephah of flour mixed with oil, as a food-offering to the LORD, of soothing odour, and also with the proper drink-offering, a quarter of a hin of wine.
14You are to eat neither bread nor roasted or fully ripened grain until that day, the day on which you bring your God his offering; this is a rule binding on your descendants for all time wherever you live.
15From the day after the sabbath, the day on which you bring your sheaf as a dedicated portion, you are to count off seven full weeks.
16The day after the seventh sabbath will make fifty days, and then you will present to the LORD a grain-offering from the new crop.
17Bring from your homes two loaves as a dedicated portion; they are to contain two tenths of an ephah of flour and be baked with leaven. They are the LORD's firstfruits.
18In addition to the bread you are to present seven perfect yearling sheep, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a whole-offering to the LORD with the proper grain-offering and the proper drink-offering, a food-offering of soothing odour to the LORD.
19You must also prepare one he-goat as a purification-offering and two yearling sheep as a shared-offering,
20and the priest will present the two sheep in addition to the bread of the firstfruits as a dedicated portion before the LORD. They are a holy-gift to the LORD for the priest.
21On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly for yourselves; you must not do your daily work. This is a rule binding on your descendants for all time wherever you live.
22When you reap the harvest in your land, do not reap right up to the edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your crop. Leave them for the poor and for the alien. I am the LORD your God.
23When the LORD spoke to Moses he said:
24Tell the Israelites that in the seventh month they are to keep the first day as a day of solemn abstinence from work, a day of remembrance and acclamation, of sacred assembly.
25They must not do their daily work, but are to present a food-offering to the LORD.
26When the LORD spoke to Moses he said:
27Further, the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. There is to be a sacred assembly; you yourselves must fast and present a food-offering to the LORD.
28On that day you are to do no work because it is a day of expiation, on which expiation is made for you before the LORD your God.
29Everyone who does not fast on that day must be cut off from his father's kin,
30and everyone who does any work on that day I shall root out from among them.
31Do no work whatsoever; it is a rule binding on your descendants for all time wherever you live.
32It is for you a day of solemn abstinence from work, and you must fast. From the evening of the ninth day to the following evening you are to keep your sabbath rest.
33The LORD told Moses
34to say to the Israelites: On the fifteenth day of this seventh month the LORD's pilgrim-feast of Booths begins, and it lasts for seven days.
35On the first day there is to be a sacred assembly; you are not to do your daily work.
36For seven days present a food-offering to the LORD; on the eighth day there will be a sacred assembly, and you are to present a food-offering to the LORD. It is the closing ceremony; you must not do your daily work.
37These are the appointed seasons of the LORD which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting food-offerings to the LORD, whole-offerings and grain-offerings, shared-offerings and drink-offerings, each on its day,
38besides the LORD's sabbaths and all your gifts, your votive offerings and your freewill-offerings to the LORD.
39Further, from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when the harvest has been gathered, you are to keep the LORD's pilgrim-feast for seven days. The first day is a day of solemn abstinence from work and so is the eighth day.
40On the first day take the fruit of citrus trees, palm-fronds, and leafy branches, and willows from the riverside, and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.
41You are to keep this as a pilgrim-feast in the LORD's honour for seven days every year. It is a rule binding for all time on your descendants; in the seventh month you are to hold this pilgrim-feast.
42You are to live in booths for seven days, all who are native Israelites,
43so that your descendants may be reminded how I made the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.
44Thus Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed seasons of the LORD.
