LEVITICUS
Chapter 23
Levi | JPS | 23:2 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:3 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:4 | These are the appointed seasons of HaShem, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:6 | And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto HaShem; seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:7 | In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of servile work. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:8 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:10 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:11 | And he shall wave the sheaf before HaShem, to be accepted for you; on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:12 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:13 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:14 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:15 | 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; | |
Levi | JPS | 23:16 | even unto the morrow after the seventh week shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall present a new meal-offering unto HaShem. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:17 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:18 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:19 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:20 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:21 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:22 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:24 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:25 | Ye shall do no manner of servile work; and ye shall bring an offering made by fire unto HaShem. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:27 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:28 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:29 | For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from his people. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:30 | And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:31 | Ye shall do no manner of work; it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:32 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:34 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:36 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:37 | 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; | |
Levi | JPS | 23:38 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:39 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:40 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:41 | 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. | |
Levi | JPS | 23:42 | Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are home-born in Israel shall dwell in booths; | |
Levi | JPS | 23:43 | 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. | |
