Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, The appointed feasts of Jehovah which you shall proclaim, holy gatherings, shall be these: These [are] My appointed seasons:


Work is to be done six days, and in the seventh day [shall be] a sabbath of rest, a holy gathering; you shall do no work; it [is] a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.


These [are] appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy gatherings which you shall proclaim in their appointed seasons:


In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings [is] the Passover to Jehovah.


And on the fifteenth of this month [is] the Feast of Unleavened [Bread] to Jehovah; you shall eat unleavened [things] seven days.

Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them, When you come in to the land which I [am] giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, or the beginning of your harvest, to the priest,


then he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah for your acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath the priest shall wave it.


And you shall prepare a lamb in the day you wave the sheaf, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt offering to Jehovah.

And its food offering [shall be] two tenth parts of flour mixed with oil, a fire offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance; and its drink offering, a fourth of a hin of wine.

And you shall not eat bread, nor roasted grain, nor fresh ears, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God; [it is] a never ending statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

And you shall number to you from the next day after the sabbath, from the day you bring in the sheaf of the wave offering; they shall be seven perfect sabbaths;


the next day after the seventh sabbath, you shall number fifty days; and you shall bring near a new food offering to Jehovah;


you shall bring in bread out of your dwellings for a wave offering, two [loaves]; they shall be of two tenth [ephah] of flour; they shall be baked with leaven; firstfruits to Jehovah


And besides the bread, you shall offer seven lambs, perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams; they are a burnt offering to Jehovah, with their food offering and their drink offerings, a fire offering of soothing fragrance to Jehovah.


And you shall offer one he-goat for a sin offering, and two lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of peace offerings.


And the priest shall wave them, besides the bread of the firstfruits, a wave offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest.


And you shall make a proclamation on this same day; [it] is a holy gathering to you. You shall do no work of service. [It is] a never ending statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

And when you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely reap the corner of your field, nor shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest; you shall leave them for the poor, and for the alien: I [am] Jehovah your God.
