Leviticus

节期

1耶和华对摩西说：

2「你晓谕以色列人说：耶和华的节期，你们要宣告为圣会的节期。

3六日要做工，第七日是圣安息日，当有圣会；你们什么工都不可做。这是在你们一切的住处向耶和华守的安息日。

4耶和华的节期，就是你们到了日期要宣告为圣会的，乃是这些。」

逾越节和无酵节

5「正月十四日，黄昏的时候，是耶和华的逾越节。

6这月十五日是向耶和华守的无酵节；你们要吃无酵饼七日。

7第一日当有圣会，什么劳碌的工都不可做；

8要将火祭献给耶和华七日。第七日是圣会，什么劳碌的工都不可做。」

9耶和华对摩西说：

10「你晓谕以色列人说：你们到了我赐给你们的地，收割庄稼的时候，要将初熟的庄稼一捆带给祭司。

11他要把这一捆在耶和华面前摇一摇，使你们得蒙悦纳。祭司要在安息日的次日把这捆摇一摇。

12摇这捆的日子，你们要把一岁、没有残疾的公绵羊羔献给耶和华为燔祭。

13同献的素祭，就是调油的细面伊法十分之二，作为馨香的火祭，献给耶和华。同献的奠祭，要酒一欣四分之一。

14无论是饼，是烘的子粒，是新穗子，你们都不可吃，直等到把你们献给 神的供物带来的那一天才可以吃。这在你们一切的住处作为世世代代永远的定例。」

五旬收获节

15「你们要从安息日的次日，献禾捆为摇祭的那日算起，要满了七个安息日。

16到第七个安息日的次日，共计五十天，又要将新素祭献给耶和华。

17要从你们的住处取出细面伊法十分之二，加酵，烤成两个摇祭的饼，当作初熟之物献给耶和华。

18又要将一岁、没有残疾的羊羔七只、公牛犊一只、公绵羊两只，和饼一同奉上。这些与同献的素祭和奠祭要作为燔祭献给耶和华，就是作馨香的火祭献给耶和华。

19你们要献一只公山羊为赎罪祭，两只一岁的公绵羊羔为平安祭。

20祭司要把这些和初熟麦子做的饼一同作摇祭，在耶和华面前摇一摇；这是献与耶和华为圣物归给祭司的。

21当这日，你们要宣告圣会；什么劳碌的工都不可做。这在你们一切的住处作为世世代代永远的定例。

22「在你们的地收割庄稼，不可割尽田角，也不可拾取所遗落的；要留给穷人和寄居的。我是耶和华—你们的 神。」

新年

23耶和华对摩西说：

24「你晓谕以色列人说：七月初一，你们要守为圣安息日，要吹角作纪念，当有圣会。

25什么劳碌的工都不可做；要将火祭献给耶和华。」

赎罪日

26耶和华晓谕摩西说：

27「七月初十是赎罪日；你们要守为圣会，并要刻苦己心，也要将火祭献给耶和华。

28当这日，什么工都不可做；因为是赎罪日，要在耶和华—你们的 神面前赎罪。

29当这日，凡不刻苦己心的，必从民中剪除。

30凡这日做什么工的，我必将他从民中除灭。

31你们什么工都不可做。这在你们一切的住处作为世世代代永远的定例。

32你们要守这日为圣安息日，并要刻苦己心。从这月初九日晚上到次日晚上，要守为安息日。」

住棚节

33耶和华对摩西说：

34「你晓谕以色列人说：这七月十五日是住棚节，要在耶和华面前守这节七日。

35第一日当有圣会，什么劳碌的工都不可做。

36七日内要将火祭献给耶和华。第八日当守圣会，要将火祭献给耶和华。这是严肃会，什么劳碌的工都不可做。

37「这是耶和华的节期，就是你们要宣告为圣会的节期；要将火祭、燔祭、素祭、祭物，并奠祭，各归各日，献给耶和华。

38这是在耶和华的安息日以外，又在你们的供物和所许的愿，并甘心献给耶和华的以外。

39「你们收藏了地的出产，就从七月十五日起，要守耶和华的节七日。第一日为圣安息；第八日也为圣安息。

40第一日要拿美好树上的果子和棕树上的枝子，与茂密树的枝条并河旁的柳枝，在耶和华—你们的 神面前欢乐七日。

41每年七月间，要向耶和华守这节七日。这为你们世世代代永远的定例。

42你们要住在棚里七日；凡以色列家的人都要住在棚里，

43好叫你们世世代代知道，我领以色列人出埃及地的时候曾使他们住在棚里。我是耶和华—你们的 神。」

44于是，摩西将耶和华的节期传给以色列人。

Feasts and Sabbaths

1Then the LORD said to Moses,

2“Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘These are My appointed feasts, the feasts of the LORD that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.

3For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a day of sacred assembly. You must not do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD.

Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread

4These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times.

5The Passover to the LORD begins at twilight on the fourteenthday of the first month.

6On the fifteenth day of the same month begins the Feast of Unleavened Breadto the LORD. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.

7On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly; you are not to do any regular work.

8For seven days you are to present a food offering to the LORD. On the seventh day there shall be a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.’”

The Feast of Firstfruits

9And the LORD said to Moses,

10“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘When you enter the land that I am giving you and you reap its harvest, you are to bring to the priest a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest.

11And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD so that it may be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.

12On the day you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a year-old lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD,

13along with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flourmixed with oil—a food offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.

14You must not eat any bread or roasted or new grain until the very day you have brought this offering to your God. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.

The Feast of Weeks

15From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you are to count off seven full weeks.

16You shall count off fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD.

17Bring two loaves of bread from your dwellings as a wave offering, each made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour, baked with leaven, as the firstfruits to the LORD.

18Along with the bread you are to present seven unblemished male lambs a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the LORD, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—a food offering, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

19You shall also prepare one male goat as a sin offering and two male lambs a year old as a peace offering.

20The priest is to wave the lambs as a wave offering before the LORD, together with the bread of the firstfruits. The bread and the two lambs shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.

21On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly, and you must not do any regular work. This is to be a permanent statute wherever you live for the generations to come.

22When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap all the way to the edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident. I am the LORD your God.’”

The Feast of Trumpets

23The LORD also said to Moses,

24“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly announced by trumpet blasts.

25You must not do any regular work, but you are to present a food offering to the LORD.’”

The Day of Atonement

26Again the LORD said to Moses,

27“The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You shall hold a sacred assembly and humble yourselves,and present a food offering to the LORD.

28On this day you are not to do any work, for it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.

29If anyone does not humble himself on this day, he must be cut off from his people.

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

31You are not to do any work at all. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.

32It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall humble yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to keep your Sabbath.”

The Feast of Tabernacles

33And the LORD said to Moses,

34“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Feast of Tabernaclesto the LORD begins, and it continues for seven days.

35On the first day there shall be a sacred assembly. You must not do any regular work.

36For seven days you are to present a food offering to the LORD. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present a food offering to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you must not do any regular work.

37These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting food offerings to the LORD—burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day.

38These offerings are in addition to the offerings for the LORD’s Sabbaths, and in addition to your gifts, to all your vow offerings, and to all the freewill offerings you give to the LORD.

39On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the produce of the land, you are to celebrate a feast to the LORD for seven days. There shall be complete rest on the first day and also on the eighth day.

40On the first day you are to gather the fruit of majestic trees, the branches of palm trees, and the boughs of leafy trees and of willowsof the brook. And you are to rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.

41You are to celebrate this as a feast to the LORD for seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come; you are to celebrate it in the seventh month.

42You are to dwell in boothsfor seven days. All the native-born of Israel must dwell in booths,

43so that your descendants may know that I made the Israelites dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”

44So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed feasts of the LORD.
