Leviticus 23:18-36 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

18. You are to present with the bread seven unblemished male lambs a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the Lord, with their grain offerings and drink offerings, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord.

19. You are also to prepare one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a fellowship sacrifice.

20. The priest will wave the lambs with the bread of firstfruits as a presentation offering before the Lord; the bread and the two lambs will be holy to the Lord for the priest.

21. On that same day you are to make a proclamation and hold a sacred assembly. You are not to do any daily work. This is to be a permanent statute wherever you live throughout your generations.

22. When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap all the way to the edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident; I am Yahweh your God.”

23. The Lord spoke to Moses:

24. “Tell the Israelites: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a day of complete rest, commemoration, and joyful shouting — a sacred assembly.

25. You must not do any daily work, but you must present a fire offering to the Lord.”

26. The Lord again spoke to Moses:

27. “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You are to hold a sacred assembly and practice self-denial; you are to present a fire offering to the Lord.

28. On this particular day you are not to do any work, for it is a Day of Atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the Lord your God.

29. If any person does not practice self-denial on this particular day, he must be cut off from his people.

30. I will destroy among his people anyone who does any work on this same day.

31. You are not to do any work. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live.

32. It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must practice self-denial. You are to observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening.”

33. The Lord spoke to Moses:

34. “Tell the Israelites: The Festival of Booths to the Lord begins on the fifteenth day of this seventh month and continues for seven days.

35. There is to be a sacred assembly on the first day; you are not to do any daily work.

36. You are to present a fire offering to the Lord for seven days. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present a fire offering to the Lord. It is a solemn gathering; you are not to do any daily work.
