1耶和華對摩西說： 2「你要告訴以色列人，以下是耶和華所定的節期，你們要宣佈這些節期為舉行聖會的日子。
安息日
3「你們一週可以工作六天，但第七天是安息日，你們要休息，舉行聖會。不可做任何工，無論你們住在哪裡，都要守耶和華的安息日。
4「以下是耶和華所定的節期，你們要在這些日子召開聖會。
逾越節和無酵節
5「一月十四日從黃昏開始是耶和華的逾越節。 6從一月十五日開始是耶和華的無酵節，一連七天你們必須吃無酵餅。 7在無酵節的第一天，你們要舉行聖會，不可做日常工作。 8這七天你們要獻火祭給耶和華。第七天，你們要舉行聖會，不可做日常工作。」
初熟節
9耶和華對摩西說： 10「你把以下條例告訴以色列人。
「你們進入耶和華將要賜給你們的那片土地以後，每逢莊稼初熟之時，你們要帶一捆初熟的穀物交給祭司。 11祭司要在安息日後第一天把那捆穀物在耶和華面前搖一搖，你們所獻的就會得到悅納。 12在獻穀物那天，你們要獻給耶和華一隻毫無殘疾、一歲的公羊羔作燔祭， 13同時要把兩公斤調油的細麵粉作素祭，一起獻給耶和華作馨香的火祭，也要獻一升酒作奠祭。 14你們必須先將這些祭物獻給你們的上帝後，才可以吃餅、烘烤的穀物和新鮮穗子。不論住在哪裡，你們都要世代遵守這永遠不變的律例。
五旬節
15「從安息日後第一天，即你們獻上搖祭的那天算起，你們要數整整七週， 16一直數到第七個安息日後的第一天，共五十天。到那天，你們要把新收的穀物作為素祭獻給耶和華。 17你們要用兩公斤細麵粉加上酵，烤成兩個餅作搖祭，從你們居住的地方帶來獻給耶和華作初熟之祭。 18你們要把七隻毫無殘疾、一歲的公羊羔、一頭公牛犢、兩隻公綿羊和那兩個餅一起獻給耶和華作燔祭。這些一起獻上的燔祭、素祭和奠祭是蒙耶和華悅納的馨香火祭。 19你們也要獻一隻公山羊作贖罪祭，兩隻一歲的公綿羊作平安祭。 20祭司要把這兩隻公綿羊和初熟之物做的餅作為搖祭在耶和華面前搖一搖。這些是獻給耶和華的聖物，歸祭司所有。 21你們要在那天召開聖會，不可做日常工作。不論住在哪裡，你們都要世代遵守這永遠不變的律例。 22你們收割時，不可割盡田角地邊的莊稼，也不可撿落在地裡的。要把這些留給窮人和外族人。我是你們的上帝耶和華。」
吹號節
23耶和華對摩西說： 24「你告訴以色列人，『你們要在七月一日休息，要吹號作紀念，召開聖會。 25你們不可做日常工作，要獻火祭給耶和華。』」
贖罪日
26耶和華對摩西說： 27「七月十日是贖罪日，你們要舉行聖會，禁食，獻火祭給耶和華。 28那是在你們的上帝耶和華面前為自己贖罪的日子，你們不可工作。 29那天，凡不禁食的，要將他從民中剷除； 30凡工作的，耶和華要毀滅他。 31你們不可做任何工作。不論住在哪裡，你們都要世代遵守這永不改變的律例。 32那是你們可以完全休息的安息之日。從七月九日傍晚至次日傍晚，你們必須禁食。」
住棚節
33耶和華對摩西說： 34「你把以下條例告訴以色列人。
「從七月十五日開始，你們要一連七天向耶和華守住棚節。 35第一天，你們要舉行聖會，不可做日常工作。 36這七天你們要獻火祭給耶和華。第八天要舉行聖會，獻火祭給耶和華。這是莊嚴的聚會，你們不可做日常工作。
37「以上是耶和華所定的節期。在這些節期裡，你們要召開聖會，按規定的日子獻給耶和華燔祭、素祭、奠祭和其他祭物。 38除了守安息日並向耶和華獻供物、還願祭和自願獻的祭以外，你們還要守這些節期。
39「你們收割完後，從七月十五日起，要一連七天慶祝耶和華的節期，第一天和第八天是安息之日。 40第一天，你們要摘下樹上結的上好果子，折下棕樹枝、葉子濃密的樹枝與河邊的柳枝，在你們的上帝耶和華面前歡慶七天。 41在每年七月的這七天，你們要向耶和華守這節期。這是永遠不變的律例，你們世世代代都要遵守。 42你們要搭棚居住七天，所有以色列人都要住在棚裡。 43這樣，你們的後代就會知道，我帶領以色列人離開埃及後，曾讓他們住在棚裡。我是你們的上帝耶和華。」
44於是，摩西向以色列人宣佈了耶和華所定的這些節期。
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. 3Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
4¶ These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 5In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD’s passover. 6And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. 7In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 8But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
9¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 10Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:23.10 sheaf: or, handful: Heb. omer 11And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD. 13And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 14And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15¶ And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: 16Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. 17Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD. 18And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD. 19Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings. 20And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest. 21And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22¶ And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
23¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 24Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation. 25Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
26¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 27Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD. 28And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. 29For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people. 30And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people. 31Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 32It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.23.32 celebrate: Heb. rest
33¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 34Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD. 35On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 36Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.23.36 solemn…: Heb. day of restraint 37These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day: 38Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD. 39Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath. 40And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.23.40 boughs of goodly trees: Heb. fruit of, etc 41And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. 42Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: 43That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God. 44And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
