Leviticus 23

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD said to Moses:

2 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: These are my appointed times, the LORD's appointed times, which you will declare to be holy occasions:

3 Work can be done for six days, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of special rest, a holy occasion. You must not do any work on it; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD.

4 These are the LORD's appointed times, holy occasions, which you will celebrate at their appointed times:

5 The LORD's Passover is on the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight.

6 The LORD's Festival of Unleavened Bread is on the fifteenth day of the same month. You must eat unleavened bread for seven days.

7 On the first day you will hold a holy occasion and must not do any job-related work.

8 You will offer food gifts to the LORD for seven days. The seventh day will be a holy occasion; you must not do any job-related work.

9 The LORD said to Moses:

10 Speak to the Israelites and say to them: When you enter the land that I am giving you and harvest its produce, you must bring the first bundle of your harvest to the priest.

11 The priest will lift up the bundle before the LORD so that it will be acceptable on your behalf. The priest will do this on the day after the Sabbath.

12 On the day the bundle is lifted up for you, you must offer a flawless one-year-old lamb as an entirely burned offering to the LORD.

13 The accompanying grain offering must be two-tenths of an ephah of choice flour mixed with oil, as a food gift for the LORD, a soothing smell. The accompanying drink offering must be a quarter of a hin of wine.

14 You must not eat any bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until the exact day when you bring your God's offering. This is a permanent rule throughout your future generations, wherever you live.

15 You must count off seven weeks starting with the day after the Sabbath, the day you bring the bundle for the uplifted offering; these must be complete.

16 You will count off fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you must present a new grain offering to the LORD.

17 From wherever you live, you will bring two loaves of bread as an uplifted offering. These must be made of two-tenths of an ephah of choice flour, baked with leaven, as early produce to the LORD.

18 Along with the bread you must present seven flawless one-year-old lambs, one bull from the herd, and two rams. These will be an entirely burned offering to the LORD, along with their grain offerings and drink offerings, as a food gift of soothing smell to the LORD.

19 You must also offer one male goat as a purification offering and two one-year-old lambs as a communal sacrifice of well-being.

20 The priest will lift up the two sheep, along with the bread of the early produce, as an uplifted offering before the LORD. These will be holy to the LORD and will belong to the priest.

21 On that very same day you must make a proclamation; it will be a holy occasion for you. You must not do any job-related work. This is a permanent rule wherever you live throughout your future generations.

22 When you harvest your land's produce, you must not harvest all the way to the edge of your field; and don't gather every remaining bit of your harvest. Leave these items for the poor and the immigrant; I am the LORD your God.

23 The LORD said to Moses:

24 Say to the Israelites: On the first day of the seventh month, you will have a special rest, a holy occasion marked by a trumpet signal.

25 You must not do any job-related work, and you must offer a food gift to the LORD.

26 The LORD said to Moses:

27 Note that the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Reconciliation. It will be a holy occasion for you. You must deny yourselves and offer a food gift to the LORD.

28 You must not do any work that day because it is a Day of Reconciliation to make reconciliation for you before the LORD your God.

29 Anyone who does not deny themselves on that day will be cut off from their people.

30 Moreover, I will destroy from their people anyone who does any work on that day.

31 You must not do any work! This is a permanent rule throughout your future generations wherever you live.

32 This is a Sabbath of special rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. You will observe your Sabbath on the ninth day of the month from evening to the following evening.

33 The LORD said to Moses:

34 Say to the Israelites: The Festival of Booths to the LORD will start on the fifteenth day of the seventh month and will last for seven days.

35 The first day is a holy occasion. You must not do any job-related work.

36 For seven days you will offer food gifts to the LORD. On the eighth day you will have a holy occasion and must offer a food gift to the LORD. It is a holiday: you must not do any job-related work.

37 These are the LORD's appointed times that you will proclaim as holy occasions, offering food gifts to the LORD: entirely burned offerings, grain offerings, communal sacrifices, and drink offerings—each on its proper day.

38 This is in addition to the LORD's sabbaths and in addition to your presents, all the payments for solemn promises, and all the spontaneous gifts that you give to the LORD.

39 Note that on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered the land's crops, you will celebrate the LORD's festival for seven days. The first day and the eighth day are days of special rest.

40 On the first day you must take fruit from majestic trees, palm branches, branches of leafy trees, and willows of the streams, and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.

41 You will celebrate this festival to the LORD for seven days each year; this is a permanent rule throughout your future generations. You will celebrate it in the seventh month.

42 For seven days you must live in huts. Every citizen of Israel must live in huts

43 so that your future generations will know that I made the Israelites live in huts when I brought them out of the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God.

44 So Moses announced the LORD's appointed times to the Israelites.

11 He will wave the sheaf before God for acceptance on your behalf; on the morning after Sabbath, the priest will wave it.

12 On the same day that you wave the sheaf, offer a year-old male lamb without defect for a Whole-Burnt-Offering to God

13 and with it the Grain-Offering of four quarts of fine flour mixed with oil - a Fire-Gift to God, a pleasing fragrance - and also a Drink-Offering of a quart of wine.

14 Don't eat any bread or roasted or fresh grain until you have presented this offering to your God. This is a perpetual decree for all your generations to come, wherever you live

18 In addition to the bread, offer seven yearling male lambs without defect, plus one bull and two rams. They will be a Whole-Burnt-Offering to God together with their Grain-Offerings and Drink-Offerings - offered as Fire-Gifts, a pleasing fragrance to God.

19 Offer one male goat for an Absolution-Offering and two yearling lambs for a Peace-Offering

20 The priest will wave the two lambs before God as a Wave-Offering, together with the bread of the first ripe grain. They are sacred offerings to God for the priest.

21 Proclaim the day as a sacred assembly. Don't do any ordinary work. It is a perpetual decree wherever you live down through your generations

24 "Tell the People of Israel, On the first day of the seventh month, set aside a day of rest, a sacred assembly - mark it with loud blasts on the ram's horn.

26 God said to Moses,

27 "The tenth day of the seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly, fast, and offer a Fire-Gift to God.

28 Don't work on that day because it is a day of atonement to make atonement for you before your God.

29 Anyone who doesn't fast on that day must be cut off from his people.

30 I will destroy from among his people anyone who works on that day.

31 Don't do any work that day - none. This is a perpetual decree for all the generations to come, wherever you happen to be living.

32 It is a Sabbath of complete and total rest, a fast day. Observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening."

36 Offer Fire-Gifts to God for seven days. On the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and offer a gift to God. It is a solemn convocation. Don't do any ordinary work

37 "These are the appointed feasts of God which you will decree as sacred assemblies for presenting Fire-Gifts to God: the Whole-Burnt-Offerings, Grain-Offerings, sacrifices, and Drink-Offerings assigned to each day.

38 These are in addition to offerings for God's Sabbaths and also in addition to other gifts connected with whatever you have vowed and all the Freewill-Offerings you give to God

39 "So, summing up: On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have brought your crops in from your fields, celebrate the Feast of God for seven days. The first day is a complete rest and the eighth day is a complete rest.

40 On the first day, pick the best fruit from the best trees; take fronds of palm trees and branches of leafy trees and from willows by the brook and celebrate in the presence of your God for seven days -

41 yes, for seven full days celebrate it as a festival to God. Every year from now on, celebrate it in the seventh month.

42 Live in booths for seven days - every son and daughter of Israel is to move into booths

43 so that your descendants will know that I made the People of Israel live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am God, your God."

44 Moses posted the calendar for the annual appointed feasts of God which Israel was to celebrate.
