Leviticus 23:17-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. from all of your dwelling places: two loaves from the first-fruits, from two-tenths of leavened fine wheat flour, which you shall bake as the first-fruits of the Lord.

18. And you shall offer with the bread: seven immaculate one-year-old lambs, and one calf from the herd, and two rams, and these shall be a holocaust, with their libations, as a most sweet odor to the Lord.

19. You shall also offer a he-goat for sin, and two one-year-old lambs as victims of peace offerings.

20. And when the priest has lifted them up with the loaves of the first-fruits, in the sight of the Lord, they shall fall to his use.

21. And you shall call this day most honored and most holy; you shall do no servile work in it. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwelling places and generations.

22. And when you will have harvested the grain fields of your land, you shall not cut it down all the way to the ground; neither shall you gather the remnants of the ears of grain, but you shall leave these for paupers and strangers. I am the Lord your God.

23. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

24. Say to the sons of Israel: The seventh month, the first day of the month, shall be a Sabbath for you, a memorial, with the sounding of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.

25. You shall do no servile work in it, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

26. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

27. The tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement; it shall be most honored, and it shall be called holy. And you shall afflict your souls on that day, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

28. You shall do no servile work in the time of this day; for it is a day of propitiation, so that the Lord your God may be merciful to you.
