Leviticus 23:1-6

1 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

2 loquere filiis Israhel et dices ad eos hae sunt feriae Domini quas vocabitis sanctas

3 sex diebus facietis opus dies septimus quia sabbati requies est vocabitur sanctus omne opus non facietis in eo sabbatum Domini est in cunctis habitationibus vestris

4 hae sunt ergo feriae Domini sanctae quas celebrare debetis temporibus sui

5 mense primo quartadecima die mensis ad vesperum phase Domini est

6 et quintadecima die mensis huius sollemnitas azymorum Domini est septem diebus azyma comedetis
