Leviticus 23
New King James Version
Feasts of the Lord
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: ‘The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be (A)holy convocations, these are My feasts.
The Sabbath
3 (B)‘Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work on it; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.
The Passover and Unleavened Bread(C)
4 (D)‘These are the feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. 5 (E)On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is the Lord’s Passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 (F)On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no [a]customary work on it. 8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.’ ”
The Feast of Firstfruits
9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: (G)‘When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of (H)the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest. 11 He shall (I)wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the Lord. 13 Its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord, for a [b]sweet aroma; and its drink offering shall be of wine, one-fourth of a hin. 14 You shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your God; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
The Feast of Weeks(J)
15 ‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. 16 Count (K)fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer (L)a new grain offering to the Lord. 17 You shall bring from your dwellings two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven. They are (M)the firstfruits to the Lord. 18 And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs of the first year, without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be as a burnt offering to the Lord, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire for a sweet aroma to the Lord. 19 Then you shall sacrifice (N)one kid of the goats as a sin offering, and two male lambs of the first year as a sacrifice of a (O)peace offering. 20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs. (P)They shall be holy to the Lord for the priest. 21 And you shall proclaim on the same day that it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no customary work on it. It shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 (Q)‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field when you reap, nor shall you gather any gleaning from your harvest. You shall leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the Lord your God.’ ”
The Feast of Trumpets(R)
23 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘In the (S)seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a sabbath-rest, (T)a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall do no customary work on it; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.’ ”
The Day of Atonement(U)
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 27 (V)“Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. 28 And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, (W)to make atonement for you before the Lord your God. 29 For any person who is not (X)afflicted in soul on that same day (Y)shall be cut off from his people. 30 And any person who does any work on that same day, (Z)that person I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall [c]afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall [d]celebrate your sabbath.”
The Feast of Tabernacles(AA)
33 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: (AB)‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord. 35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it. 36 For seven days you shall offer an (AC)offering made by fire to the Lord. (AD)On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a (AE)sacred[e] assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.
37 (AF)‘These are the feasts of the Lord which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering and a grain offering, a sacrifice and drink offerings, everything on its day— 38 (AG)besides the Sabbaths of the Lord, besides your gifts, besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill offerings which you give to the Lord.
39 ‘Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have (AH)gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep the feast of the Lord for seven days; on the first day there shall be a sabbath-rest, and on the eighth day a sabbath-rest. 40 And (AI)you shall take for yourselves on the first day the [f]fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; (AJ)and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. 41 (AK)You shall keep it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It shall be a statute forever in your generations. You shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 (AL)You shall dwell in [g]booths for seven days. (AM)All who are native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 (AN)that your generations may (AO)know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when (AP)I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.’ ”
44 So Moses (AQ)declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.

Sărbătorile. Sabatul
23 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 2 „Vorbeşte copiilor lui Israel şi spune-le:
‘Iată sărbătorile(A) Domnului, pe care le veţi vesti ca adunări(B) sfinte, iată sărbătorile Mele: 3 Şase(C) zile să lucraţi, dar ziua a şaptea este Sabatul, ziua de odihnă, cu o adunare sfântă. Să nu faceţi nicio lucrare în timpul ei: este Sabatul Domnului în toate locuinţele voastre.
Paştele
4 Iată sărbătorile(D) Domnului, cu adunări sfinte, pe care le veţi vesti la vremile lor hotărâte. 5 În luna(E) întâi, în a paisprezecea zi a lunii, între cele două seri, vor fi Paştele Domnului. 6 Şi în(F) a cincisprezecea zi a lunii acesteia, va fi Sărbătoarea Azimilor în cinstea Domnului; şapte zile să mâncaţi azimi. 7 În ziua întâi, să aveţi o adunare sfântă: atunci să nu faceţi nicio lucrare de slugă. 8 Şapte zile să aduceţi Domnului jertfe mistuite de foc. În ziua a şaptea să fie o adunare sfântă: atunci să nu faceţi nicio lucrare de slugă’.” 9 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 10 „Vorbeşte copiilor lui Israel şi spune-le:
‘Când(G) veţi intra în ţara pe care v-o dau şi când veţi secera semănăturile, să aduceţi preotului un snop, ca pârgă(H) a secerişului vostru. 11 El să legene(I) snopul într-o parte şi într-alta înaintea Domnului, ca să fie primit: preotul să-l legene într-o parte şi într-alta, a doua zi după Sabat. 12 În ziua când veţi legăna snopul, să aduceţi, ca ardere-de-tot Domnului, un miel de un an, fără cusur; 13 să adăugaţi la el două zecimi de efă din floarea făinii, frământată cu untdelemn, ca dar(J) de mâncare mistuit de foc, de un miros plăcut Domnului, şi să aduceţi o jertfă de băutură de un sfert de hin de vin. 14 Să nu mâncaţi nici pâine, nici spice prăjite sau pisate până în ziua aceasta, când veţi aduce un dar de mâncare Dumnezeului vostru. Aceasta este o lege veşnică pentru urmaşii voştri, în toate locurile în care veţi locui.
Rusaliile
15 De a doua zi(K) după Sabat, din ziua când veţi aduce snopul ca să fie legănat într-o parte şi într-alta, să număraţi şapte săptămâni întregi. 16 Să număraţi cincizeci de zile, până(L) în ziua care vine după al şaptelea Sabat, şi atunci să aduceţi Domnului un nou(M) dar de mâncare. 17 Să aduceţi din locuinţele voastre două pâini, ca să fie legănate într-o parte şi într-alta; să fie făcute cu două zecimi de efă din floarea făinii şi coapte cu aluat: acestea sunt cele dintâi roade(N) pentru Domnul. 18 Afară de aceste pâini, să aduceţi ca ardere-de-tot Domnului şapte miei de un an, fără cusur, un viţel şi doi berbeci; să adăugaţi la ei darul de mâncare şi jertfa de băutură obişnuite, ca dar de mâncare mistuit de foc, de un miros plăcut Domnului. 19 Să aduceţi şi un ţap(O), ca jertfă de ispăşire, şi doi miei de un an, ca jertfă de(P) mulţumire. 20 Preotul să legene aceste dobitoace într-o parte şi într-alta ca dar legănat înaintea Domnului, împreună cu pâinea adusă ca pârgă şi cu cei doi miei: ele să fie închinate(Q) Domnului şi să fie ale preotului. 21 În aceeaşi zi, să vestiţi sărbătoarea şi să aveţi o adunare sfântă: atunci să nu faceţi nicio lucrare de slugă. Aceasta este o lege veşnică pentru urmaşii voştri, în toate locurile în care veţi locui. 22 Când(R) vei secera semănăturile din ţara voastră, să laşi nesecerat un colţ din câmpul tău şi să nu strângi ce rămâne(S) de pe urma secerătorilor. Să laşi săracului şi străinului aceste spice. Eu sunt Domnul, Dumnezeul vostru’.”
Anul Nou
23 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 24 „Vorbeşte copiilor lui Israel şi spune-le:
‘În luna a şaptea(T), în cea dintâi zi a lunii, să aveţi o zi de odihnă(U), vestită cu sunet de trâmbiţe, şi o adunare sfântă. 25 Atunci să nu faceţi nicio lucrare de slugă şi să aduceţi Domnului jertfe mistuite de foc’.”
Ziua Ispăşirii
26 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 27 „În ziua(V) a zecea a acestei a şaptea luni, va fi Ziua Ispăşirii: atunci să aveţi o adunare sfântă, să vă smeriţi sufletele şi să aduceţi Domnului jertfe mistuite de foc. 28 Să nu faceţi nicio lucrare în ziua aceea, căci este Ziua Ispăşirii, când trebuie făcută ispăşire pentru voi înaintea Domnului, Dumnezeului vostru. 29 Oricine nu se va smeri în ziua aceea va fi nimicit(W) din poporul lui. 30 Pe oricine va face în ziua aceea vreo lucrare oarecare, îl voi(X) nimici din mijlocul poporului lui. 31 Să nu faceţi nicio lucrare atunci. Aceasta este o lege veşnică pentru urmaşii voştri, în toate locurile în care veţi locui. 32 Aceasta să fie pentru voi o zi de Sabat, o zi de odihnă, şi să vă smeriţi sufletele în ziua aceasta; din seara zilei a noua până în seara următoare, să prăznuiţi Sabatul vostru.”
Corturile
33 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 34 „Vorbeşte copiilor lui Israel şi spune-le:
‘În(Y) a cincisprezecea zi a acestei a şaptea luni, va fi Sărbătoarea Corturilor în cinstea Domnului, timp de şapte zile. 35 În ziua întâi să fie o adunare sfântă: să nu faceţi nicio lucrare de slugă în timpul ei. 36 Timp de şapte zile, să aduceţi Domnului jertfe mistuite de foc. A opta(Z) zi, să aveţi o adunare sfântă şi să aduceţi Domnului jertfe mistuite de foc; aceasta să fie o adunare(AA) de sărbătoare: să nu faceţi nicio lucrare de slugă în timpul ei. 37 Acestea(AB) sunt sărbătorile Domnului, în care veţi vesti adunări sfinte, ca să se aducă Domnului jertfe mistuite de foc, arderi-de-tot, daruri de mâncare, jertfe de vite şi jertfe de băutură, fiecare lucru la ziua hotărâtă. 38 Afară de aceasta(AC), să păziţi Sabatele Domnului şi să vă aduceţi darurile voastre Domnului, să aduceţi toate jertfele făcute pentru împlinirea unei juruinţe şi toate darurile voastre făcute de bunăvoie. 39 În a cincisprezecea zi a lunii acesteia a şaptea, când veţi strânge roadele(AD) ţării, să prăznuiţi o sărbătoare în cinstea Domnului, timp de şapte zile: cea dintâi zi să fie o zi de odihnă şi a opta să fie tot o zi de odihnă. 40 În ziua întâi(AE) să luaţi poame din pomii cei frumoşi, ramuri de finici, ramuri de copaci stufoşi şi de sălcii de râu şi să vă bucuraţi(AF) înaintea Domnului, Dumnezeului vostru, şapte zile. 41 În fiecare an să prăznuiţi(AG) sărbătoarea aceasta în cinstea Domnului, timp de şapte zile. Aceasta este o lege veşnică pentru urmaşii voştri. În luna a şaptea s-o prăznuiţi. 42 Şapte zile să locuiţi în(AH) corturi; toţi băştinaşii din Israel să locuiască în corturi, 43 pentru ca(AI) urmaşii voştri să ştie că am făcut pe copiii lui Israel să locuiască în corturi, după ce i-am scos din ţara Egiptului. Eu sunt Domnul, Dumnezeul vostru’.” 44 Aşa a spus(AJ) Moise copiilor lui Israel care sunt sărbătorile Domnului.

23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.
4 These are the feasts of the Lord, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the Lord's passover.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
9 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the Lord.
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the Lord for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
16 Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals; they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the Lord.
18 And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the Lord.
19 Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the Lord for the priest.
21 And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
26 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.
35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
38 Beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the Lord.
39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40 And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.
41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.
44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.

The Feast of Trumpets
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, In (AB)the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn rest, (AC)a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy convocation. 25 You shall not do any ordinary work, and you shall present a food offering to the Lord.”
The Day of Atonement
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 27 “Now (AD)on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It shall be for you a time of holy convocation, and you shall afflict yourselves[d] and present a food offering to the Lord. 28 And you shall not do any work on that very day, for it is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God. 29 For whoever is not afflicted[e] on that very day (AE)shall be cut off from his people. 30 And whoever does any work on that very day, that person I will destroy from among his people. 31 You shall not do any work.

On the ninth day of the month beginning at evening, from evening to evening shall you keep your Sabbath.”
The Feast of Booths
33 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 34 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, (AF)On the fifteenth day of this seventh month and for seven days is the Feast of Booths[f] to the Lord. 35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work. 36 For seven days you shall present food offerings to the Lord. (AG)On the eighth day you shall hold a holy convocation and present a food offering to the Lord. It is a (AH)solemn assembly; you shall not do any ordinary work.
37 (AI)“These are the appointed feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim as times of holy convocation, for presenting to the Lord food offerings, burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its proper day, 38 (AJ)besides the Lord's Sabbaths and besides your gifts and besides all your vow offerings and besides all your freewill offerings, which you give to the Lord.
39 “On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have (AK)gathered in the produce of the land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest. 40 And (AL)you shall take on the first day the fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees and boughs of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and (AM)you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. 41 (AN)You shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord for seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42 (AO)You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All native Israelites shall dwell in booths, 43 that (AP)your generations may know that I made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.”
44 Thus Moses (AQ)declared to the people of Israel the appointed feasts of the Lord.
