== Vayikra (Book of Leviticus), Chapter 23 ==

<named id="1"/>1 And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying:

<named id="2"/>2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: The appointed seasons of HaShem, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are My appointed seasons.

<named id="3"/>3 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work; it is a sabbath unto HaShem in all your dwellings.

<named id="4"/>4 These are the appointed seasons of HaShem, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season.

<named id="5"/>5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at dusk, is HaShem'S passover.

<named id="6"/>6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto HaShem; seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread.

<named id="7"/>7 In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work.

<named id="8"/>8 And ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto HaShem seven days; in the seventh day is a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work.

<named id="9"/>9 And HaShem spoke unto Moses saying:

<named id="10"/>10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye are come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest unto the priest.

<named id="11"/>11 And he shall wave the sheaf before HaShem, to be accepted for you; on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

<named id="12"/>12 And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt-offering unto HaShem.

<named id="13"/>13 And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto HaShem for a sweet savour; and the drink-offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

<named id="14"/>14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the offering of your G-d; it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

<named id="15"/>15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the day of rest, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the waving; seven weeks shall there be complete;

<named id="16"/>16 even unto the morrow after the seventh week shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall present a new meal-offering unto HaShem.

<named id="17"/>17 Ye shall bring out of your dwellings two wave-loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah; they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with leaven, for first-fruits unto HaShem.

<named id="18"/>18 And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams; they shall be a burnt-offering unto HaShem, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto HaShem.

<named id="19"/>19 And ye shall offer one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace-offerings.

<named id="20"/>20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for a wave-offering before HaShem, with the two lambs; they shall be holy to HaShem for the priest.

<named id="21"/>21 And ye shall make proclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be a holy convocation unto you; ye shall do no manner of servile work; it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

<named id="22"/>22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corner of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest; thou shalt leave them for the poor, and for the stranger: I am HaShem your G-d.

<named id="23"/>23 And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying:

<named id="24"/>24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial proclaimed with the blast of horns, a holy convocation.

<named id="25"/>25 Ye shall do no manner of servile work; and ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto HaShem.

<named id="26"/>26 And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying:

<named id="27"/>27 Howbeit on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement; there shall be a holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; and ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto HaShem.

<named id="28"/>28 And ye shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before HaShem your G-d.

<named id="29"/>29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.

<named id="30"/>30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people.

<named id="31"/>31 Ye shall do no manner of work; it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

<named id="32"/>32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of solemn rest, and ye shall afflict your souls; in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye keep your sabbath.

<named id="33"/>33 And HaShem spoke unto Moses, saying:

<named id="34"/>34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto HaShem.

<named id="35"/>35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work.

<named id="36"/>36 Seven days ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto HaShem; on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto HaShem; it is a day of solemn assembly; ye shall do no manner of servile work.

<named id="37"/>37 These are the appointed seasons of HaShem, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to bring an offering made by fire unto HaShem, a burnt-offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;

<named id="38"/>38 beside the sabbaths of HaShem, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill-offerings, which ye give unto HaShem.

<named id="39"/>39 Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of HaShem seven days; on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.

<named id="40"/>40 And ye shall take you on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm-trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and ye shall rejoice before HaShem your G-d seven days.

<named id="41"/>41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto HaShem seven days in the year; it is a statute for ever in your generations; ye shall keep it in the seventh month.

<named id="42"/>42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home-born in Israel shall dwell in booths;

<named id="43"/>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 HaShem your G-d.

<named id="44"/>44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the appointed seasons of HaShem.
