¹⁰ “Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you^(A) and you reap its harvest,^(B) bring to the priest a sheaf^(C) of the first grain you harvest.^{(D) 11} He is to wave the sheaf before the Lord^(E) so it will be accepted^(F) on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath. ¹² On the day you wave the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to the Lord a lamb a year old^(G) without defect,^{(H) 13} together with its grain offering^(I) of two-tenths of an ephah^[a](J) of the finest flour mixed with olive oil—a food offering presented to the Lord, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering^(K) of a quarter of a hin^[b] of wine.^{(L) 14} You must not eat any bread, or roasted or new grain,^(M) until the very day you bring this offering to your God.^(N) This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come,^(O) wherever you live.^(P)

The Festival of Weeks^(Q)

¹⁵ “‘From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks. ¹⁶ Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath,^(R) and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord. ¹⁷ From wherever you live, bring two loaves made of two-tenths of an ephah^(S) of the finest flour, baked with yeast, as a wave offering of firstfruits^(T) to the Lord. ¹⁸ Present with this bread seven male lambs, each a year old and without defect, one young bull and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the Lord, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings^(U)—a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord. ¹⁹ Then sacrifice one male goat for a sin offering^[c] and two lambs, each a year old, for a fellowship offering. ²⁰ The priest is to wave the two lambs before the Lord as a wave offering,^(V) together with the bread of the firstfruits. They are a sacred offering to the Lord for the priest. ²¹ On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly^(W) and do no regular work.^(X) This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.

²² “‘When you reap the harvest^(Y) of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.^(Z) Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you.^(AA) I am the Lord your God.’”

The Festival of Trumpets^(AB)

²³ The Lord said to Moses, ²⁴ “Say to the Israelites: ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of sabbath rest, a sacred assembly^(AC) commemorated with trumpet blasts.^{(AD) 25} Do no regular work,^(AE) but present a food offering to the Lord.^(AF)’”

The Day of Atonement^(AG)

²⁶ The Lord said to Moses, ²⁷ “The tenth day of this seventh month^(AH) is the Day of Atonement.^(AI) Hold a sacred assembly^(AJ) and deny yourselves,^[d] and present a food offering to the Lord. ²⁸ Do not do any work^(AK) on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the Lord your God. ²⁹ Those who do not deny themselves on that day must be cut off from their people.^{(AL) 30} I will destroy from among their people^(AM) anyone who does any work on that day. ³¹ You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance^(AN) for the generations to come, wherever you live. ³² It is a day of sabbath rest^(AO) for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your sabbath.”^(AP)

The Festival of Tabernacles^(AQ)

³³ The Lord said to Moses, ³⁴ “Say to the Israelites: ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh^(AR) month the Lord’s Festival of Tabernacles^(AS) begins, and it lasts for seven days. ³⁵ The first day is a sacred assembly;^(AT) do no regular work.^{(AU) 36} For seven days present food offerings to the Lord, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly^(AV) and present a food offering to the Lord.^(AW) It is the closing special assembly; do no regular work.

³⁷ (“‘These are the Lord’s appointed festivals, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for bringing food offerings to the Lord—the burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings^(AX) required for each day. ³⁸ These offerings^(AY) are in addition to those for the Lord’s Sabbaths^(AZ) and^[e] in addition to your gifts and whatever you have vowed and all the freewill offerings^(BA) you give to the Lord.)

³⁹ “‘So beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the crops of the land, celebrate the festival^(BB) to the Lord for seven days;^(BC) the first day is a day of sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is a day of sabbath rest. ⁴⁰ On the first day you are to take branches^(BD) from luxuriant trees—from palms, willows and other leafy trees^(BE)—and rejoice^(BF) before the Lord your God for seven days. ⁴¹ Celebrate this as a festival to the Lord for seven days each year. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come; celebrate it in the seventh month. ⁴² Live in temporary shelters^(BG) for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters ⁴³ so your descendants will know^(BH) that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’”

⁴⁴ So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed festivals of the Lord.
