Leviticus 22; Leviticus 23

1 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

2 Speak to Aharon and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Yisra'el, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name: I am the LORD.

3 Tell them, Whoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approaches to the holy things, which the children of Yisra'el make holy to the LORD, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am the LORD.

4 Whatever man of the seed of Aharon is a leper, or has an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him;

5 or whoever touches any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has;

6 the soul that touches any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.

7 When the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.

8 That which dies of itself, or is torn by animals, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am the LORD.

9 They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

10 There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the Kohen's, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.

11 But if a Kohen buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.

12 If a Kohen's daughter be married to a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.

13 But if a Kohen's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and be returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread: but there shall no stranger eat of it.

14 If a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part of it to it, and shall give to the Kohen the holy thing.

15 They shall not profane the holy things of the children of Yisra'el, which they offer to the LORD,

16 and [so] cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

17 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

18 Speak to Aharon, and to his sons, and to all the children of Yisra'el, and tell them, Whoever he be of the house of Yisra'el, or of the sojourners in Yisra'el, that offers his offering, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer to the LORD for a burnt offering;

19 that you may be accepted, [you shall offer] a male without blemish, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.

20 But whatever has a blemish, that shall you not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.

21 Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace-offerings to the LORD to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.

22 Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, you shall not offer these to the LORD, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to the LORD.

23 Either a bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that may you offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.

24 That which has its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, you shall not offer to the LORD; neither shall you do [thus] in your land.

25 Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall you offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.

26 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

27 When a bull, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the hen; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to the LORD.

28 Whether it be cow or ewe, you shall not kill it and its young both in one day.

29 When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the LORD, you shall sacrifice it that you may be accepted.

30 On the same day it shall be eaten; you shall leave none of it until the morning: I am the LORD.

31 Therefore shall you keep my mitzvot, and do them: I am the LORD.

32 You shall not profane my holy name; but I will be made holy among the children of Yisra'el: I am the LORD who makes you holy,

33 who brought you out of the land of Mitzrayim, to be your God: I am the LORD.

1 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

2 Speak to the children of Yisra'el, and tell them, The set feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.

3 Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a Shabbat of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no manner of work: it is a Shabbat to the LORD in all your dwellings.

4 These are the set feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season

5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is the LORD's Pesach.

6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of matzah to the LORD: seven days you shall eat matzah.

7 In the first day you shall have a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.

8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall do no servile work.

9 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

10 Speak to the children of Yisra'el, and tell them, When you are come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest of it, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the Kohen:

11 and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the next day after the Shabbat the Kohen shall wave it.

12 In the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a he-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt offering to the LORD.

13 The meal-offering of it shall be two tenth parts [of an efah] of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering of it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

14 You shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings

15 You shall count to you from the next day after the Shabbat, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave-offering; seven Shabbatot shall there be complete:

16 even to the next day after the seventh Shabbat shall you number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal-offering to the LORD.

17 You shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts [of an efah]: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to the LORD.

18 You shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bull, and two rams: they shall be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.

19 You shall offer one male goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace-offerings

20 The Kohen shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave-offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the Kohen.

21 You shall make proclamation on the same day; there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no servile work: it is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations

22 When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleaning of your harvest: you shall leave them for the poor, and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.

23 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

24 Speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.

25 You shall do no servile work; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.

26 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

27 However on the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom Kippur: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict your souls; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.

28 You shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is Yom Kippura day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God.

29 For whatever soul it be who shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be cut off from his people.

30 Whatever soul it be who does any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people.

31 You shall do no manner of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

32 It shall be to you a Shabbat of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even to even, shall you keep your Shabbat.

33 The LORD spoke to Moshe, saying,

34 Speak to the children of Yisra'el, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths for seven days to the LORD.

35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no servile work.

36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; you shall do no servile work

37 These are the set feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meal-offering, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, each on its own day;

38 besides the Shabbatot of the LORD, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your freewill-offerings, which you give to the LORD

39 However on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.

40 You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.

41 You shall keep it a feast to the LORD seven days in the year: it is a statute forever throughout your generations; you shall keep it in the seventh month.

42 You shall dwell in booths seven days; all who are home-born in Yisra'el shall dwell in booths;

43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Yisra'el to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Mitzrayim: I am the LORD your God.

44 Moshe declared to the children of Yisra'el the set feasts of the LORD.
