And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give
unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a
sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest: and he shall
wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow
after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. And ye shall offer that day
when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year
for a burnt offering unto the LORD. And ye shall eat neither bread,
nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have
brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever
throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from
the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths
shall be complete: even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall
ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the
LORD.
In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a
sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets. Ye shall do no servile work
therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of
atonement; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made
by fire unto the LORD. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for
it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD
your God. Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have
gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD
seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth
day shall be a sabbath. And ye shall take you on the first day the
boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick
trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD
your God seven days. And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven
days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations:
ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month. Ye shall dwell in booths
seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths: that
your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell
in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD
your God. And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of
the LORD.
[Sidenote: Leviticus 24]
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Command the children of Israel,
that they bring unto thee pure oil olive beaten for the light, to cause
the lamps to burn continually.
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake twelve cakes thereof: two
tenth deals shall be in one cake. And thou shalt set them in two rows,
six on a row, upon the pure table before the LORD. And thou shalt put
pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be on the bread for a
memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
[Sidenote: Leviticus 25]
