CHAPTER 23 Holidays of The LORD

1 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 Speak to the sons of Israel! And you shall say to them, The holiday feasts of the lord which you shall call them [²convocations ¹for holy] -- these are my holiday feasts. 3 Six days you shall do work, but the [²day ¹seventh] is a Sabbath rest, [²convocation ¹a holy] to the lord.

And you shall say to them, Whenever you should enter into the land which I give to you, and should harvest its harvest, that you shall bring the sheaf first-fruit of your harvest to the priest. 11 And he shall offer the sheaf before the lord accepted for you. On the next day of the first [³shall offer ⁴it ¹the ²priest]. 12 And you shall offer on the day in which ever you should bring the sheaf -- a sheep unblemished of a year old for a whole burnt-offering to the lord. 13 And with its sacrifice two tenths of fine flour being prepared in olive oil, a sacrifice to the lord for a scent of pleasant aroma to the lord; and its libation -- the fourth of the hin of wine. 14 And bread and [²parched ³green wheat ¹new] you shall not eat until [²same ³day ¹this], until whenever you should offer the gifts to your God -- [²law ¹an eternal] unto your generations in every dwelling of yours.

And they shall be a whole burnt-offering to the lord, and their sacrifice offerings, and their libations, a sacrifice scent of pleasant aroma to the lord. 19 And they shall offer a young he-goat from out of the goats -- one for a sin offering, and two lambs of a year old for a sacrifice of deliverance offering with the bread loaves of the first produce. 20 And [³shall place ⁴them ¹the ²priest] with the bread loaves of the first produce increase offering before the lord, with the two lambs.
