UST LEV Chapter 23

LEV 23 ©

23Yahweh spoke to Moses, 2“Tell the Israelite people: I have appointed these sacred festivals. You must announce when the people should gather together to worship me. 3You may work for six days, but the seventh day is a special day of complete rest. You must gather together to worship me. You must not do any work on that day. This is a Sabbath to honor Yahweh wherever you live.

4These are the special times that I have chosen, the holy gatherings that you must announce at their proper times. 5In the first month, on the fourteenth day at twilight, you must celebrate the Passover to honor Yahweh. 6On the fifteenth day of this same month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to honor Yahweh. For seven days you must eat bread that you made without yeast. 7On the first day you must gather together for a holy meeting. You must not do any regular work. 8For seven days you must bring offerings to Yahweh. On the seventh day you must gather again for a holy meeting. You must not do any regular work.”

9Yahweh spoke to Moses, 10“Tell the Israelite people: When you enter the land that I am giving you and harvest your crops, you must bring a bundle of the first grain you harvest to the priest. 11The priest will lift up the bundle to present it to Yahweh so that Yahweh will accept your gift. The priest must do this on the day after the Sabbath. 12On the day you present the bundle of grain, you must also sacrifice a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects as a burnt offering to Yahweh.

13With it you must also bring a grain offering of four liters of fine flour mixed with olive oil as an offering to Yahweh. It will make a smell he enjoys. You must also bring one liter of wine as a drink offering. 14On that day, you must not eat any bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until you have brought this offering to your God. This is a rule that will continue forever for all your descendants, wherever you live.

15Count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath when you brought the bundle of grain as an offering. 16Count fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then bring a new grain offering to Yahweh. 17At home, each family must bake two loaves of bread using yeast and four liters of fine flour. Take them to the priest and he will lift them up high to dedicate them to Yahweh. This will be the first offering to Yahweh from your harvest.

18Along with the bread, present seven one-year-old male lambs with no defects, one young bull, and two rams. Burn them completely on the altar to Yahweh. They and the grain offering and drink offerings are a present for Yahweh and will make a pleasing smell for Yahweh. 19You must also offer one male goat as a purifying sacrifice and two one-year-old male lambs as a fellowship sacrifice. 20The priest will lift up these two lamb offerings high to dedicate them to Yahweh. He will also offer the loaves of bread that were baked from the first wheat that you harvest. Those offerings are sacred to Yahweh, but they are for the priests to eat.

21On that same day announce that the people must gather together for a holy meeting. You must not do any regular work. This is a rule that will continue forever for all your descendants, wherever you live.

22When you harvest your crops, do not harvest all the way to the edges of your fields. Do not pick up the grain that falls on the ground. Leave it for poor people and foreigners. Remember: I am Yahweh your God.”

23Yahweh spoke to Moses, 24“Tell the Israelite people: On the first day of the seventh month, you must have a special day of rest. You must gather together for a holy meeting when you hear the trumpet blast. 25You must not do any regular work on that day. Instead you must bring a present to Yahweh.”

26Yahweh spoke to Moses, 27“On tenth day of this seventh month you must gather together for a holy meeting. Show that you are sorry for sinning by not eating. Bring a food present to Yahweh. This will be a special day for asking Yahweh to forgive you for the sins that you have committed. 28Because on that day the priests will offer sacrifices to Yahweh your God to ask him to forgive your sins, you must not do any work all day. 29You must expel from your group and from the Israelite nation anyone who does not show that he is sorry for sinning by not eating on that day. 30I will kill anyone who does any work on that day, right in the middle of his family! 31You must not work at all! You and all your descendants must always obey these commands, wherever you live. 32That day you must all rest completely. Also, you must not eat to show that you are sorry for having sinned. Rest from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the evening of the tenth day of the month.”

33Yahweh spoke to Moses, 34“Tell the Israelite people: On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the Festival of Shelters. This festival to honor Yahweh will last for seven days. 35On the first day you must gather together for a holy meeting. You must not do any regular work. 36On each of the seven days of this festival you must bring food presents to Yahweh. On the eighth day you must gather together again for a holy meeting and bring another food present to Yahweh. This is a special gathering. You must not do any regular work.

37(To summarize, these are the festivals that Yahweh has appointed. You must announce that these are holy meetings in order to give presents to Yahweh. You will bring these: animal presents that you will burn completely, presents you make from flour, presents to promise friendship with Yahweh, and presents of wine. Bring each present on the day that Yahweh commanded. 38You must celebrate these festivals in addition to worshiping Yahweh on the Sabbath days. You must give Yahweh all those offerings in addition to his regular presents, the presents that people give when they solemnly promise to do something, and any presents that people give to Yahweh voluntarily.)

39On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have harvested your crops, be sure to celebrate the Festival of Shelters to honor Yahweh for seven days. Rest completely on the first day and on the eighth day. 40On the first day, take the best fruit from your trees, palm branches, leafy branches, and willow branches from the riverbank. Celebrate with joy before Yahweh your God for seven days. 41Celebrate this festival to honor Yahweh for seven days each year. You must celebrate it in the seventh month. You and all your descendants must always obey these commands. 42During the seven days of that festival, all of you people who have been Israelites all of your lives must live in shelters. 43That will remind your descendants that I made their ancestors live in shelters after I rescued them from Egypt. Do not forget that I, Yahweh your God, am the one who is commanding this.”

44So Moses told the Israelites about all these special times that Yahweh had chosen.
