And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the children of
Israel, and say unto them: These are the feasts of the LORD which ye
shall call holy feasts. Six days ye shall work, and the seventh is the
Sabbath of rest an holy feast: so that ye may do no work therein, for
it is the Sabbath of the LORD, wheresoever ye dwell. These are the
feasts of the LORD which ye shall proclaim holy in their seasons. The
fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD's Passover.
And the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of sweet bread
unto the LORD, seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. The first day
shall be an holy feast unto you, so that ye may do no laborious work
therein. But ye shall offer sacrifices unto the LORD seven days, and
the seventh day also shall be an holy feast, so that ye may do no
laborious work therein. 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 reap down your harvest, ye shall bring a
sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the priest, and he shall
wave the sheaf before the LORD to be accepted for you: and even the
morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. And ye shall offer
the day when he waveth the sheaf, a lamb without blemish of a year old
for a burntoffering unto the LORD: and the meatoffering thereof, two
tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil to be a sacrifice unto the
LORD of a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereto, the fourth deal
of an hin of wine. And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn,
nor frumenty of new corn: until the self same day that ye have brought
an offering unto your God. And this shall be a law for ever unto your
children after you, wheresoever ye dwell. And ye shall count from the
morrow after the Sabbath: even from the day that ye brought the sheaf
of the waveoffering, seven weeks complete: even unto the morrow after
the seventh week ye shall number fifty days. And then ye shall bring a
new meatoffering unto the LORD. And ye shall bring out of your
habitations two wave loaves made of two tenth deals of fine flour
leavened and baken, for first fruits unto the LORD. And ye shall bring
with the bread seven lambs without deformity of one year of age, and
one young ox, and two rams, which shall serve for burntofferings unto
the LORD, with meatofferings and drink offerings longing to the same,
to be a sacrifice of a sweet savour unto the LORD. And ye shall offer
an he goat for a sinoffering: and two lambs of one year old for
peaceofferings. And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the
first fruits before the LORD, and with the two lambs. And they shall be
holy unto the LORD, and be the priest's. And ye shall make a

shall do no laborious work therein. And it shall be a law for ever
