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.

23 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, 24 Speak to the sons of Israel, saying!
