Beginning
22 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, so that they are separated from the Holy things of the children of Israel, and so that they do not pollute My Holy Name in those things which they hallow to Me. I am the LORD.
3 “Say to them, ‘Whoever of all your seed, among your generations after you, who touches the Holy things which the children of Israel hallow to the LORD—having his uncleanness upon him—that person shall be cut off from My sight. I am the LORD.
4 ‘Also, whoever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or has a discharge, he shall not eat of the Holy things until he is clean. And whoever touches anyone who is unclean by reason of the dead, or a man whose issue of seed runs from him,
5 ‘or the man who touches any creeping thing by which he may be made unclean, or a man by whom he may take uncleanness (whatever uncleanness he has),
6 ‘the person who has touched such ones shall therefore be unclean until the evening and shall not eat of the Holy things unless he has washed his flesh with water.
7 ‘But when the Sun is down, he shall be clean, and shall eat of the Holy things afterward. For it is his food.
8 ‘Of a beast that dies naturally, or is torn by other beasts (by which he may be defiled), he shall not eat. I am the LORD.
9 ‘Let them therefore keep My Ordinance, lest if they defile it, they bear their sin for it and die for it. I, the LORD, sanctify them.
10 ‘Also, no stranger shall eat of the Holy thing, nor the guest of the Priest. Nor shall a hired servant eat of the Holy thing.
11 ‘But, if the Priest buys any with money, he shall eat of it. Also, he who is born in his house shall eat of his food.
12 ‘Also, if the Priest’s daughter is married to a stranger, she may not eat of the Holy offerings.
13 ‘Nevertheless, if the Priest’s daughter is a widow or divorced, and has no child, but has returned to her father’s house, she shall eat of her father’s bread, as she did in her youth. But no stranger shall eat thereof.
14 ‘If a man eats of the Holy thing unwittingly, he shall add a fifth to it and give it to the Priest with the hallowed thing.
15 ‘So shall they not defile the Holy things of the children of Israel which they offer to the LORD,
16 ‘nor cause the people to bear the iniquity of their trespass while they eat their Holy thing. For I, the LORD, hallow them.’”
17 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever of the house of Israel, or of the strangers in Israel, who will offer his sacrifice for all their vows and for all their Free Offerings which they use to offer to the LORD for a Burnt Offering,
19 ‘you shall offer of your own free will a male, without blemish, of the cattle, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 ‘You shall not offer anything that has a blemish. For that shall not be acceptable for you.
21 ‘And whoever brings a Peace Offering to the LORD to accomplish his vow, or for a Free Offering from the cattle, or from the sheep, his free offering shall be perfect. No blemish shall be in it.
22 ‘Blind or broken or maimed or having an ulcer, or scurvy, or scabs: these shall not be offered to the LORD. Do not make an offering by fire of these upon the Altar of the LORD.
23 ‘However, you may present a bullock or a sheep that is either malformed or lacking for a Free Offering. But it shall not be accepted for a vow.
24 ‘You shall not offer to the LORD that which is bruised or crushed or broken or cut away. Nor shall you make an offering of it in your land.
25 ‘Nor shall you offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a stranger, because their corruption is in them. There is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
27 “When a bullock or a sheep or a goat shall be brought forth, it shall remain for seven days with its mother. And from the eighth day forth it shall be accepted for a sacrifice made by fire to the LORD.
28 “As for the cow or the ewe, you shall not kill her and her young in one day.
29 “So, when you will offer a Thank Offering to the LORD, you shall offer willingly.
30 “The same day it shall be eaten. You shall leave none of it to tomorrow. I am the LORD.
31 “Therefore, you shall keep My Commandments and do them. I am the LORD.
32 “Nor shall you pollute My Holy Name. But I will be hallowed among the children of Israel. I, the LORD, sanctify you,
33 “Who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am 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 call the Holy Assemblies, these are My Feasts.
3 “Six days work shall be done. But on the seventh day, the Sabbath of Rest, a Holy Convocation. You shall do no work. It is the Sabbath of the LORD, in all your dwellings.
4 “These are the Feasts of the LORD, Holy Convocations which you shall proclaim in their seasons.
5 “In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, at evening , the Passover of the LORD.
6 “And on the fifteenth day of this month, the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7 “On the first day you shall have a Holy Convocation. You shall do no servile work.
8 “Also, you shall offer sacrifice made by fire to the LORD for seven days. The seventh day shall be a Holy Convocation. You shall do no servile work.”
9 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the Priest.
11 ‘And he shall shake the sheaf before the LORD, so that it may be acceptable for you. The Priest shall shake it the day after the Sabbath.
12 ‘And that day when you shake the sheaf, you shall prepare a lamb without blemish, of a year old, for a Burnt Offering to the LORD.
13 ‘And the Meat Offering shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour, mingled with oil, for a sacrifice of sweet savor, made by fire to the LORD. And the Drink Offering shall be a fourth of a hin of wine.
14 ‘And you shall eat neither bread nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that you have brought an offering to your God. This shall be a Law forever in your generations and in all your dwellings.
15 ‘And you shall count for yourselves (from the day after the Sabbath): from the day that you shall bring the sheaf of the Shake Offering, seven Sabbaths shall be complete.
16 ‘Until the day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days. Then you shall bring a new Meat Offering to the LORD.
17 ‘You shall bring bread out of your dwellings for the Shake Offering. They shall be two loaves of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour, baked with leaven, for firstfruits to the LORD.
18 ‘Also, with the bread, you shall offer seven lambs without blemish of one year old and a young bullock and two rams. They shall be for a Burnt Offering to the LORD, with their Meat Offerings and their Drink Offerings, for a sacrifice made by fire of a sweet savor to the LORD.
19 ‘Then you shall prepare a male goat for a Sin Offering, and two lambs of one year old, for Peace Offerings.
20 ‘And the Priest shall shake them to and fro before the LORD with the bread of the firstfruits and with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD, for the Priest.
21 ‘So, the same day you shall proclaim it may be a Holy Convocation to you. You shall do no servile work, an ordinance forever in all your dwellings, throughout your generations.
22 ‘And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely rid the corners of your field when you reap. Nor shall you glean anything from your harvest, but shall leave them to the poor and to the stranger. I am the LORD your God.’”
23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘In the seventh month, on the first of the month, you shall have a Sabbath for the remembrance of blowing the trumpets, a Holy Convocation.
25 ‘You shall do no servile work, but offer sacrifice made by fire to the LORD.’”
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
27 “Also, the tenth of this seventh month shall be a Day of Reconciliation. It shall be a Holy Convocation to you. And you shall humble your souls and offer sacrifice made by fire to the LORD.
28 “And that same day you shall do no work, for it is a Day of Reconciliation, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29 “For every person that does not humble himself that same day shall be cut off from his people.
30 “And every person that shall do any work that same day, the same person I will also destroy from among his people.
31 “You shall do no sort of work, a Law forever in your generations and in all your dwellings.
32 “This shall be to you a Sabbath of Rest; and you shall humble your souls. On the ninth of the month, at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your Sabbath.”
33 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
34 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month shall begin the Feast of Tabernacles to the LORD, for seven days.
35 ‘On the first day: a Holy Convocation. You shall do no servile work.
36 ‘For seven days you shall offer sacrifice made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day shall be a Holy Convocation. And you shall offer sacrifices made by fire to the LORD. It is the Solemn Assembly. You shall do no servile work.
37 ‘These are the Feasts of the LORD (which you shall call Holy Convocations) to offer sacrifice made by fire to the LORD, Burnt Offering, and meat offering, sacrifice, and Drink Offerings, every one upon his day,
38 ‘in addition to the Sabbaths of the LORD, and in addition to your gifts, and in addition to all your vows, and in addition to all your Free Offerings, which you shall give to the LORD.
39 ‘But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep a Holy Feast to the LORD for seven days. On the first day shall be a Sabbath. And on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath.
40 ‘And on the first day, you shall take for yourselves the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook. And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.
41 ‘So, you shall keep this Feast to the LORD for seven days in the year, by a perpetual Ordinance, through your generations. You shall keep it in the seventh month.
42 ‘You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are born Israelites shall dwell in booths,
43 ‘so that your posterity may know that I had the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”
44 So Moses declared the Feasts of the LORD to the children of Israel.
