Leviticus 23 · Parashat Emor

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, The feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy gatherings, these are my feasts.

Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of solemn rest, a holy gathering; you shall do no work: it is a sabbath to the Lord in all your dwellings.

These are the feasts of the Lord, holy gatherings, which you shall proclaim in their seasons.

On the fourteenth day of the first month towards evening is the Lord’s passover.

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.

On the first day you shall have a holy gathering: you shall do no servile work.

But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days: on the seventh day is a holy gathering: you shall do no servile work.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, and say to them, When you are come to the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring an ῾omer of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest:

and he shall wave the ῾omer before the Lord, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

And you shall offer that day when you wave the ῾omer a he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering to the Lord.

And the meal offering thereof shall be two tenth measures of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet savour: and its drink offering shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

And you shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until that very day, until you have brought an offering to your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

And you shall count for yourselves from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that you brought the ῾omer of the wave offering; seven complete sabbaths shall there be:

to the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall you number fifty days and you shall offer a new meal offering to the Lord.

You shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth measures: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the firstfruits to the Lord.

And you 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 to the Lord, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire, of sweet savour to the Lord.

Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

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.

And you shall proclaim on this very same day, that it may be a holy gathering to you: you shall do no servile work: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

And when you reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not altogether remove the corners of thy field when thou reapest, nor shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them to the poor, and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of horns, a holy gathering.

You shall do no servile work: but you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be a holy gathering to you; and you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord.

And you shall do no work on that very same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.

For whatever person shall not be afflicted on that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.

And whatever person does any work on that same day, the same person will I destroy from among his people.

You shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls: on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening shall you celebrate your sabbath.

And the Lord spoke to Moshe, saying,

Speak to the children of Yisra᾽el, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of booths for seven days to the Lord.

On the first day shall be a holy gathering: you shall do no servile work.

Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord: on the eighth day shall be a holy gathering to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord; it is a solemn assembly; and you shall do no servile work.

These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall proclaim to be holy gatherings, to offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon its day:

beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which you give to the Lord.

Also on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruit of the land, you shall keep a feast to the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.

And you shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of the tree hadar, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick leaved trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.

And you shall keep it a feast to the Lord seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: you shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

You shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home born in Yisra᾽el shall dwell in booths:

that your generations may know that I made the children of Yisra᾽el to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Miżrayim: I am the Lord your God.

And Moshe declared to the children of Yisra᾽el the appointed seasons of the Lord.
