²¹ And you shall make a proclamation on the same day. You shall hold a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work. It is a statute forever in all your dwelling places throughout your generations.

² “Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, ^(A)These are the appointed feasts of the Lord that you shall ^(B)proclaim as ^(C)holy convocations; they are my appointed feasts.

²³ But ^(A)the Levites shall do the service of the tent of meeting, ^(B)and they shall bear their iniquity. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, and among the people of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

¹⁴ And you shall eat neither bread nor grain ^(A)parched or ^(B)fresh until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

The Passover

^4 (A)“These are the appointed feasts of the Lord, the ^(B)holy convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them.

⁷ And I will ^(A)establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, ^(B)to be God to you and to your offspring after you.

¹⁰ In that day ^(A)the root of ^(B)Jesse, who shall stand as ^(C)a signal for the peoples—of him shall the nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.

¹¹ And ^(A)you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your male servant and your female servant, the Levite who is within your towns, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, at the place that the Lord your God will choose, to make his name dwell there.

^7 (A)On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work.

¹⁶ On the first day you shall hold a ^(A)holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you. ¹⁷ And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for ^(B)on this very day I brought your ^(C)hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever.
