reap down your harvest, thou shalt not make clean riddance of thy
field, neither shalt thou make any aftergathering of thy harvest: but
shalt leave them unto the poor and the stranger. I am the LORD your
God. And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the children of
Israel and say: The first day of the seventh month shall be a rest of
remembrance unto you, to blow horns in an holy feast it shall be, and
ye shall do no laborious work therein, and ye shall offer sacrifice
unto the LORD. And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: also the tenth day
of the self seventh month, is a day of atonement, and shall be on holy
feast unto you, and ye shall humble your souls and offer sacrifice unto
the LORD. Moreover ye shall do no work the same day, for it is a day of
atonement to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. For
whatsoever soul it be that humbleth not himself that day, he shall be
destroyed from among his people. And whatsoever soul do any manner work
that day, the same I will destroy from among his people. See that ye do
no manner work therefore. And it shall be a law for ever unto your
generations after you in all your dwellings. A Sabbath of rest it shall
be unto you, and ye shall humble your souls. The ninth day of the month
at evening and so forth from evening to evening again, ye shall keep
your Sabbath. And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: speak unto the
children of Israel and say: the fifteenth day of the same seventh month
shall be the feast of tabernacles seven days unto the LORD. The first
day shall be an holy feast, so that ye shall do no laborious work
therein. Seven days ye shall offer sacrifice unto the LORD, and the
eighth day shall be an holy feast unto you, and ye shall offer
sacrifice unto the LORD. It is the end of the feast, and ye shall do no
laborious work therein. These are the feasts of the LORD which ye shall
proclaim holy feasts, for to offer sacrifice unto the LORD,
burntofferings, meatofferings, and drinkofferings every day: beside the
Sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and all your vows, and all
your freewill offerings which ye shall give unto the LORD. Moreover in
the fifteenth day of the seventh month after that ye have gathered in
the fruits of the land, ye shall keep holy day unto the LORD seven days
long. The first day shall be a day of rest, and the eighth day shall be
a day of rest. And ye shall take you the first day, the fruits of
goodly trees and the branches of palm trees and the boughs of thick
trees, and willows of the brook, and shall rejoice before the LORD
seven days. And ye shall keep it holy day unto the LORD seven days in
the year. And it shall be a law for ever unto your children after you,
that ye keep that feast in the seventh month. And ye shall dwell in
booths seven days: even all that are Israelites born, shall dwell in
booths, that your children after you may know how that I made the
children of Israel dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land
