1: GOD spoke to Moses:
2: "Tell the People of Israel, These are my appointed feasts, the appointed feasts of GOD which you are to decree as sacred assemblies.
3: "Work six days. The seventh day is a Sabbath, a day of total and complete rest, a sacred assembly. Don't do any work. Wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to GOD.
4: "These are the appointed feasts of GOD, the sacred assemblies which you are to announce at the times set for them:
5: "GOD's Passover, beginning at sundown on the fourteenth day of the first month.
6: "GOD's Feast of Unraised Bread, on the fifteenth day of this same month. You are to eat unraised bread for seven days.
7: Hold a sacred assembly on the first day; don't do any regular work.
8: Offer Fire-Gifts to GOD for seven days. On the seventh day hold a sacred assembly; don't do any regular work."
9: GOD spoke to Moses:
10: "Tell the People of Israel, When you arrive at the land that I am giving you and reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain that you harvest.
11: He will wave the sheaf before GOD for acceptance on your behalf; on the morning after Sabbath, the priest will wave it.
12: On the same day that you wave the sheaf, offer a year-old male lamb without defect for a Whole-Burnt-Offering to GOD
13: and with it the Grain-Offering of four quarts of fine flour mixed with oil--a Fire-Gift to GOD, a pleasing fragrance--and also a Drink-Offering of a quart of wine.
14: Don't eat any bread or roasted or fresh grain until you have presented this offering to your God. This is a perpetual decree for all your generations to come, wherever you live.
15: "Count seven full weeks from the morning after the Sabbath when you brought the sheaf as a Wave-Offering,
16: fifty days until the morning of the seventh Sabbath. Then present a new Grain-Offering to GOD.
17: Bring from wherever you are living two loaves of bread made from four quarts of fine flour and baked with yeast as a Wave-Offering of the first ripe grain to GOD.
18: In addition to the bread, offer seven yearling male lambs without defect, plus one bull and two rams. They will be a Whole-Burnt-Offering to GOD together with their Grain-Offerings and Drink-Offerings--offered as Fire-Gifts, a pleasing fragrance to GOD.
19: Offer one male goat for an Absolution-Offering and two yearling lambs for a Peace-Offering.
20: The priest will wave the two lambs before GOD as a Wave-Offering, together with the bread of the first ripe grain. They are sacred offerings to GOD for the priest.
21: Proclaim the day as a sacred assembly. Don't do any ordinary work. It is a perpetual decree wherever you live down through your generations.
22: "When you reap the harvest of your land, don't reap the corners of your field or gather the gleanings. Leave them for the poor and the foreigners. I am GOD, your God."
23: GOD said to Moses:
24: "Tell the People of Israel, On the first day of the seventh month, set aside a day of rest, a sacred assembly--mark it with loud blasts on the ram's horn.
25: Don't do any ordinary work. Offer a Fire-Gift to GOD."
26: GOD said to Moses,
27: "The tenth day of the seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly, fast, and offer a Fire-Gift to GOD.
28: Don't work on that day because it is a day of atonement to make atonement for you before your GOD.
29: Anyone who doesn't fast on that day must be cut off from his people.
30: I will destroy from among his people anyone who works on that day.
31: Don't do any work that day--none. This is a perpetual decree for all the generations to come, wherever you happen to be living.
32: It is a Sabbath of complete and total rest, a fast day. Observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening."
33: GOD said to Moses,
34: "Tell the People of Israel, GOD's Feast of Booths begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. It lasts seven days.
35: The first day is a sacred assembly; don't do any ordinary work.
36: Offer Fire-Gifts to GOD for seven days. On the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and offer a gift to GOD. It is a solemn convocation. Don't do any ordinary work.
37: "These are the appointed feasts of GOD which you will decree as sacred assemblies for presenting Fire-Gifts to GOD: the Whole-Burnt-Offerings, Grain-Offerings, sacrifices, and Drink-Offerings assigned to each day.
38: These are in addition to offerings for GOD's Sabbaths and also in addition to other gifts connected with whatever you have vowed and all the Freewill-Offerings you give to GOD.
39: "So, summing up: On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have brought your crops in from your fields, celebrate the Feast of GOD for seven days. The first day is a complete rest and the eighth day is a complete rest.
40: On the first day, pick the best fruit from the best trees; take fronds of palm trees and branches of leafy trees and from willows by the brook and celebrate in the presence of your GOD for seven days--
41: yes, for seven full days celebrate it as a festival to GOD. Every year from now on, celebrate it in the seventh month.
42: Live in booths for seven days--every son and daughter of Israel is to move into booths
43: so that your descendants will know that I made the People of Israel live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am GOD, your God."
44: Moses posted the calendar for the annual appointed feasts of GOD which Israel was to celebrate.
