1.ANd the Lord ſpake vnto Moſés, ſaying,
2.Speake vnto the children of Iſraél, and ſay vnto them, The feaſts of the Lord which ye ſhal call the holy * aſſemblies, euen theſe are my feaſts.
3.* Six daies ſhal worke be done, but in the ſeuenth day ſhalbe the Sabbath of reſt, *an holy " conuocacion: ye ſhal do no worke therein, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, in all your dwellings.
4.Theſe are ye feaſts of the Lord, and holy conuocacions, which ye ſhal proclame in their a ſeaſons.
5.In the firſt moneth, and in the fourtenth day of the moneth at euening ſhalbe the Paſſeouer of the Lord.
6.And on the fifteenth day of this moneth ſhalbe the feaſt * of vnleauened bread vnto the Lord: ſeuen daies ye ſhal eat vnleauened bread.
7.In the firſt day ye ſhal haue an holy conuocacion: ye ſhal do no b ſeruile worke therein.
8.Alſo ye ſhal offer ſacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord ſeuen daies. and in the c ſeuenth day ſhalbe an holy conuocacion: ye ſhal do no ſeruile worke therein.
9.And ye Lord ſpake vnto Moſés, ſaying,
10.Speake vnto the children of Iſraél, and ſay vnto thē, When ye be come into the land, which I giue vnto you, and reape the harueſt thereof, thē ye ſhal bring * a ſheafe of the firſt frutes of your harueſt vnto the Prieſt,
11.And he ſhal ſhake the ſheafe before the Lord, that it may be acceptable for you: the morowe after the d Sabbath, the Prieſt ſhal ſhake it.
12.And that day when ye ſhake the ſheafe, ſhal ye prepare a lambe without blemiſh of a yere olde, for a burnt offring vnto the Lord:
13.And the meat offring thereof ſhalbe two e tenth deales of fine floure mingled with oyle, for a ſacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord of ſwete ſauour: and the drinke offring thereof the fourth part f of an Hin of wine.
14.And ye ſhal eat nether bread nor parched corne, nor * grene eares vntil the ſelfe ſame day that ye haue broght an offring vnto your God: this ſhal be a lawe for euer in your generacions and in all your dwellings.
15.Ye ſhal count alſo to you from the morowe after the g Sabbath, euen: from the day that ye ſhal bring the ſheafe of the ſhake offring, ſeuen * Sabbaths, thei ſhalbe complete.
16.Vnto the morowe after the ſeuenth Sabbath ſhal ye nombre fifty daies: then ye ſhal bring a newe meat offring vnto the Lord.
17.Ye ſhal bring out of your habitacions bread for the ſhake offring: thei ſhalbe two loaues of two tenth deales of fine floure, which ſhalbe baken with h leauen for firſt frutes vnto the Lord.
18.Alſo ye ſhal offer with the bread ſeuen lambes without blemiſh of one yere olde, and a yong bullocke and two rams: thei ſhal be for a burnt offring vnto the Lord, with their meat offrings and their drinke offrings, for a ſacrifice made by fire of a ſwete ſauour vnto the Lord.
19.Then ye ſhal prepare an he goat for a ſin offring, and two lambes of one yere olde for peace offrings.
20.And the Prieſt ſhal ſhake them to and fro with the bread of the firſt frutes before the Lord, and with the two lambes: thei ſhalbe holy to the Lord, for the i Prieſt.
21.So ye ſhal proclame the ſame day, that it may be an holy conuocacion vnto you: ye ſhal do no ſeruile worke therein: it ſhal be an ordinance for euer in all your dwellings, throughout your generacions.
22.* And when you reape the harueſt of your land, thou ſhalt not rid cleane ye corners of thy fielde when thou reapeſt, nether ſhalt thou make anie aftergathering of thy harueſt, but ſhalt leaue them vnto the poore and to the ſtranger: I am the Lord your God.
23.¶ And ye Lord ſpake vnto Moſés, ſaying,
24.Speake vnto the children of Iſraél, and ſay, In the k ſeuēth moneth, and in the firſt day of the moneth ſhal ye haue a l Sabbath, for the remembrance of m blowing the trompets, an holy conuocacion.
25.Ye ſhal do no ſeruile worke therein, but offer ſacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord.
26.¶ And the Lord ſpake vnto Moſés, ſaying,
27.The * tenth alſo of this ſeuenth moneth ſhalbe a day of recóciliation: it ſhal be an holy conuocacion vnto you, and ye ſhal humble n humble your foules, & offer ſacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord.
28.And ye ſhal do no worke that ſame day : for it is a day of reconciliacion, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
29.For euerie perſone that humbleth not him ſelfe that ſame day, ſhal euen be cut of from his people.
30.And euerie perſone that ſhal do anie worke that ſame day, the ſame perſone alſo wil I deſtroye from amōg his people.
31.Ye ſhal do no maner worke therefore : this ſhalbe a lawe for euer in your generacions, throughout all your dwellings.
32.This ſhalbe vnto you a Sabbath of reſt, and ye ſhal hūble your foules: in the ninth day of the moneth at euen, from o euen to euen ſhal ye " celebrate your Sabbath.
33.¶ And yͤ Lord ſpake vnto Moſés, ſaying,
34.Speake vnto the children of Iſraél, and ſay, * In the fiftieth day of this ſeuēth moneth ſhalbe for ſeuen daies the feaſt of Tabernacles vnto the Lord.
35.In the firſt day ſhalbe an holy conuocacion: ye ſhal do no ſeruile worke therein.
36.Seuen daies ye ſhal offer * ſacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, and in the eight day ſhalbe an holy conuocacion vnto you, and ye ſhal offer ſacrifices made by fire vnto the Lord : it is the p ſolemne aſſemblie, ye ſhal do no ſeruile worke therein.
37.Theſe are yͤ feaſtes of the Lord (which ye ſhal call holy conuocacions) to offer ſacrifice made by fire vnto yͤ Lord, as burnt offring, and meat offring, q ſacrifice, and drinke offrings, euerie one vpon his day,
38.Beſide the Sabbaths of the Lord, & beſide your gifts, and beſide all your vowes, and beſide all your fre offrings, which ye ſhal giue vnto the Lord.
39.But in the fiftieth day of the ſeuenth moneth, whē ye haue gathered in the frute of the land, ye ſhal kepe an holy feaſt vnto the Lord ſeuen daies: in the firſt day ſhalbe a r Sabbath : likewiſe in the eight day ſhalbe a Sabbath.
40.And ye ſhal take you in the firſt day the frute of goodlie trees, branches of palme trees, and the boughes of " thicke trees, & willowes of the broke, and ſhal reioyce before the Lord your God ſeuen daies.
41.So ye ſhal kepe this feaſt vnto the Lord ſeuen daies in the yere, by a perpetual ordinance through your generacions: in the ſeuenth moneth ſhal you kepe it.
42.Ye ſhal dwel in boothes ſeuen daies: all [ſ] that are Iſraelites borne, ſhal dwel in boothes,
43.That your poſteritie may knowe that I haue made the children of Iſraél to dwel in boothes, when I broght them out of the lād of Egypt: I am yͤ Lord your God.
44.So Moſés declared vnto the children of Iſraél the feaſtes of the Lord.
