Leviticus 23:1-8

¹The Lord told Moses,

²“Tell the Israelites that these are my religious festivals, the festivals of the Lord that you are to call as the holy times when we meet together.

³You have six days to work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy day of meeting together. Don't do any work. It is the Lord's Sabbath everywhere you live.

⁴These are the Lord's religious festivals, the holy meetings that you ate to announce at their specific times.

⁵The Lord's Passover starts on the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month.

⁶The Lord's Festival of Unleavened Bread begins on the fifteenth day of the first month. For seven days the bread you eat must be made without yeast.

⁷On the first day you are hold a holy meeting. You must not do any of your usual work.

⁸For seven days you shall present food offerings to the Lord. There is to be a holy meeting on the seventh day. You must not do any of your usual work.”
