Leviticus 23–24

23And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ²Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning ^athe feasts of the Lord, which ye shall ^bproclaim to be ^choly convocations, even these are my feasts.

^3dSix days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an ^choly convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.

⁴These are the feasts of the Lord, even ^choly convocations, which ye shall ^bproclaim in their seasons. ^5eIn 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. ^7fIn 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.

⁹And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ¹⁰Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, ^gWhen 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: ¹¹And he shall ^hwave the sheaf before the Lord, ⁱto 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. ^13jAnd 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 ^kparched corn, nor ^kgreen 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.

¹⁵And ^lye 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 ^mfifty days; and ye shall offer ⁿa 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 ^othe 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 ^pone kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of ^qpeace offerings. ²⁰And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a ^rwave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs: ^sthey 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. ²²And ^twhen 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.

²³And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ²⁴Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the ^useventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, ^xa 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.

²⁶And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ^27yAlso 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, ^zhe shall be cut off from among his people. ³⁰And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, ^athe 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.

³³And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ³⁴Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, ^bThe 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: ^con 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 ^†dsolemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein. ^37dThese are the feasts of the Lord, which ye shall ^dproclaim 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, ^eevery thing upon his day: ^38fBeside 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 ^ggathered 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 ^hye shall take you on the first day the ^†boughs of goodly trees, branches ^hof palm trees, and the boughs ^hof thick trees, and willows of the brook; ⁱand ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days. ^41kAnd 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. ^42lYe shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: ^43mThat 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 ⁿdeclared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the Lord.

24And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ^2aCommand the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, ^†to cause the lamps to burn continually. ³Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron order it from the evening unto the morning before the Lord continually: it shall be a statute for ever in your generations. ⁴He shall order the lamps upon ^bthe pure candlestick before the Lord continually.

⁵And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve ^ccakes thereof: two tenth deals shall be in one cake. ⁶And thou shalt set them in two ^drows, six on a row, ^eupon the pure table before the Lord. ⁷And thou shalt put pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the Lord. ^8fEvery sabbath he shall set it in order before the Lord continually, being taken from the children of Israel by an everlasting covenant. ⁹And ^git shall be Aaron’s and his sons’; ^hand they shall eat it in the holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetual statute.

¹⁰And the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and this son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp; ¹¹And the Israelitish woman’s son blasphemed the name ⁱof the Lord, and ^jcursed. And they ^kbrought him unto Moses: (and his mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan:) ¹²And they ^lput him in ward, ^†mthat the mind of the Lord might be shewed them. ¹³And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ¹⁴Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him ⁿlay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him. ¹⁵And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth his God ^oshall bear his sin. ¹⁶And he that ^pblasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death, and all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he ^pblasphemeth the name of the Lord, shall be put to death. ^17qAnd he that ^†killeth any man shall surely be put to death. ^18rAnd he that ^†killeth a beast shall make it good; ^†beast for beast. ¹⁹And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as ^she hath done, so shall it be done to him; ²⁰Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be done to him again. ^21tAnd he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: ^uand he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death. ²²Ye shall have ^xone manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the Lord your God. ²³And Moses spake to the children of Israel, ^ythat they should bring forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stone him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the Lord commanded Moses.
