1 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, VP

2 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, ‘The appointed times of YHWH that you⁺ shall proclaim [to be] holy convocations—these are My appointed times. VP

3 Six days work shall be done, and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You⁺ shall not do any work; it [is] a Sabbath to YHWH in all your⁺ dwellings. VP

4 These [are] the appointed times of YHWH, holy convocations, which you⁺ shall proclaim them at their appointed time. VP

5 On the first month, on the four [and] tenth of the month, between the evenings, [is] the Passover to YHWH. VP

6 And on the five [and] tenth day of this month [is] the Feast of the Unleavened to YHWH. Seven days you⁺ shall eat unleavened [bread]. VP

7 On the first day you⁺ shall have a holy convocation. You⁺ shall not do any work of service. VP

8 And you⁺ shall bring near a fire offering to YHWH [for] seven days. The seventh day [is] a holy convocation; you⁺ shall not do any work of service.’” VP

9 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, VP

10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, ‘When you⁺ come into the land that I am giving to you⁺, and you⁺ reap its harvest, then you⁺ shall bring in a sheaf of the firstfruits of your⁺ harvest to the priest. VP

11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the face of YHWH to be accepted on your⁺ behalf. From the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. VP

12 And you⁺ shall do on that day of your⁺ waving the sheaf a male lamb, unblemished, a son of a year, for a burnt offering to YHWH. VP

13 And its grain offering [is] two tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour mixed with the oil, a fire offering to YHWH, a pleasing aroma. And its drink offering [is] of wine, a fourth of a hin. VP

14 And you⁺ shall not eat bread, and parched grain, and fresh grain, until this same day that you⁺ have brought an offering to your⁺ God; [it shall be] an everlasting statute throughout your⁺ generations in all your⁺ dwellings. VP

15 And you⁺ shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day of your⁺ bringing in the sheaf of the wave offering—they are seven completed Sabbaths— VP

16 until the day after the seventh Sabbath. You⁺ shall count fifty days, and you⁺ shall bring near a new grain offering to YHWH. VP

17 From your⁺ dwellings you⁺ shall bring bread of a wave offering, two [loaves] of two tenths [of an ephah] of fine flour; they shall be baked leavened, the firstfruits to YHWH. VP

18 And you⁺ shall bring near with the bread seven lambs unblemished, sons of a year, and one bull, a son of the herd, and two rams; they shall be a burnt offering to YHWH, and their grain offerings and drink offerings, a fire offering, a pleasing aroma to YHWH. VP

19 And you⁺ shall do one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two male lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of peace offerings. VP

20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits, a wave offering before the face of YHWH, with the two lambs; they shall be holy to YHWH for the priest. VP

21 And you⁺ shall proclaim on this same day [that] it shall be a holy convocation to you⁺. You⁺ shall not do any work of service; [it shall be] an everlasting statute in all your⁺ dwellings throughout your⁺ generations. VP

22 And in your⁺ reaping the harvest of your⁺ land, you shall not complete the edge of your field in your reaping, and you shall not gather the gleaning of your harvest; you shall leave them for the poor and for the sojourner. I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.’” VP

23 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, VP

24 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first of the month, it shall be to you⁺ a complete rest, a memorial of [trumpet] blasting, a holy convocation. VP

25 You⁺ shall not do any work of service, and you⁺ shall bring near a fire offering to YHWH.’” VP

26 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, VP

27 “Indeed, on the tenth of this seventh month, it [is] the Day of Atonements. It shall be for you⁺ a holy convocation, and you⁺ shall afflict your⁺ souls and you⁺shall bring near a fire offering to YHWH. VP

28 And you⁺ shall not do any work on this same day. For it [is] the Day of Atonements, to make atonement upon you⁺ before the face of YHWH your⁺ God. VP

29 For any soul who is not afflicted on this very day, he shall even be cut off from his people. VP

30 And any soul who does any work on this very day, I will even destroy that soul from among his people. VP

31 You⁺ shall not do any work; [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your⁺ generations in all your⁺ dwellings. VP

32 It [is] to you⁺ a Sabbath of complete rest, and you⁺ shall afflict your⁺ souls. On the ninth of the month at the evening, from evening to evening you⁺ shall celebrate your⁺ Sabbath.” VP

33 And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying, VP

34 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘On the five [and] tenth day of this seventh month [is] the Feast of Booths [for] seven days to YHWH. VP

35 On the first day [is] a holy convocation; you⁺ shall not do any work of service. VP

36 Seven days you⁺ shall bring near a fire offering to YHWH. On the eighth day, for you⁺ [there] shall be a holy convocation, and you⁺shall bring near a fire offering to YHWH. It [is] a sacred assembly; you⁺ shall not do any work of service. VP

37 These [are] the appointed times of YHWH which you⁺ shall proclaim them, holy convocations, to bring near a fire offering to YHWH, a burnt offering, and a grain offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings—the matter of a day on its day— VP

38 besides the Sabbaths of YHWH, and besides your⁺ gifts, and besides all your⁺ vows, and besides all your⁺ freewill offerings that you⁺ give to YHWH. VP

39 Indeed on the five [and] tenth day of the seventh month, when you⁺ have gathered in the produce of the land, you⁺ shall keep the feast of YHWH [for] seven days. On the first day [is] a complete rest, and on the eighth day a complete rest. VP

40 And you⁺ shall take for yourselves on the first day the fruit of majestic trees, branches of palms, and the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook. And you⁺ shall rejoice before the face of YHWH your⁺ God [for] seven days. VP

41 And you⁺ shall keep it a feast to YHWH [for] seven days in the year, an everlasting statute in your⁺ generations. In the seventh month you⁺ shall celebrate it. VP

42 You⁺ shall dwell in the booths [for] seven days; all the native in Israel shall dwell in the booths, VP

43 so that your⁺ generations may know that I made the sons of Israel dwell in the booths when I brought them out from the land of Egypt. I [am] YHWH your⁺ God.’” VP

44 And Moses declared the appointed times of YHWH to the sons of Israel. VP
