Holy days to be kept.
23:1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23:2. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: These
are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.
23:3. Six days shall ye do work: the seventh day, because it is the rest
of the sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day:
it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations.
23:4. These also are the holy days of the Lord, which you must celebrate
in their seasons.
23:5. The first month, the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is
the phase of the Lord.
23:6. And the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the
unleavened bread of the Lord. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
23:7. The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall
do no servile work therein.
23:8. But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And
the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no
servile work therein.
23:9. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23:10. Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When
you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall
reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your
harvest to the priest.
23:11. Who shall lift up the sheaf before the Lord, the next day after
the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.
23:12. And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without
blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of the Lord.
23:13. And the libations shall be offered with it: two tenths of flour
tempered with oil, for a burnt offering of the Lord, and a most sweet
odour. Libations also of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
23:14. You shall not eat either bread, or parched corn, or frumenty or
the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God. It
is a precept for ever throughout your generations, and all your
dwellings.
23:15. You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath,
wherein you offered the sheaf of firstfruits, seven full weeks.
23:16. Even unto the morrow after the seventh week be expired, that is
to say, fifty days: and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord.
23:17. Out of all your dwellings, two loaves of the firstfruits, of two
tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of
the Lord.
23:18. And you shall offer with the loaves seven lambs without blemish
of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and they shall be for a
holocaust with their two rams: and they shall be for a holocaust with
their libations for a most sweet odour to the Lord.
23:19. You shall offer also a buck goat for sin, and two lambs of the
first year for sacrifices of peace offerings.
23:20. And when the priest hath lifted them up with the loaves of the
firstfruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use.
23:21. And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy. You
shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance
in all your dwellings and generations.
23:22. And when you reap the corn of your land, you shall not cut it to
the very ground: neither shall you gather the ears that remain. But you
shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers. I am the Lord your
God.
23:23. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
