Leviticus [Pertaining to Levites] 23:1-17

¹Adonai spoke to Moses Drawn out, saying,

²“Speak to the children of Israel God prevails, and tell them, ‘The set feasts of Adonai , which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.

³“‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath ·To cease· of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath ·To cease· to Adonai in all your dwellings.

⁴“‘These are the set feasts of Adonai , even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.

⁵In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Adonai ’s Pesac ·Passover·.

⁶On the fifteenth day of the same month is the festival of Matzah ·Unleavened bread· to Adonai . Seven days you shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread·.

⁷In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular aboda ·service·.

⁸But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no regular aboda ·service·.’”

⁹Adonai spoke to Moses Drawn out, saying,

¹⁰“Speak to the children of Israel God prevails, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest:

¹¹and he shall wave the sheaf before Adonai , to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath ·To cease· the priest shall wave it.

¹²On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt offering to Adonai .

¹³The meal offering with it shall be one tenth of an ephah two omers; 4.6 q; 4.4 L of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to Adonai for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin 2.6 qt; 1.2 L.

¹⁴You must not eat bread, or roasted grain, or fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a regulation forever throughout all your generations in all your dwellings.

¹⁵“‘You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be completed:

¹⁶even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath ·To cease· you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Adonai .

¹⁷You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of one tenth of an ephah two omers; 4.6 q; 4.4 L of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to Adonai .
