Leviticus 23:1-14 (Complete Jewish Bible)
Adonai* said to Moshe,* “Tell the people of Isra’el: ‘The designated times of Adonai* which you are to proclaim as holy convocations* are My designated times.
“‘Work is to be done on six days; but the seventh day is a Shabbat* of complete rest, a holy convocation;* you are not to do any kind of work; it is a Shabbat* for Adonai,* even in your homes.
“‘These are the designated times of Adonai,* the holy convocations* you are to proclaim at their designated times.
“‘In the first month,* on the fourteenth day of the month,* between sundown and complete darkness, comes Pesach* for Adonai.* On the fifteenth day of the same month* is the festival of matzah;* for seven days you are to eat matzah.* On the first day you are to have a holy convocation;* don’t do any kind of ordinary work. Bring an offering made by fire to Adonai* for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation;* do not do any kind of ordinary work.’”
Adonai* said to Moshe,* “Tell the people of Isra’el, ‘After you enter the land I am giving you and harvest its ripe crops, you are to bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the cohen.* He is to wave the sheaf before Adonai,* so that you will be accepted; the cohen* is to wave it on the day after the Shabbat.* On the day that you wave the sheaf, you are to offer a male lamb without defect, in its first year, as a burnt offering for Adonai.* Its grain offering is to be one gallon of fine flour mixed with olive oil, an offering made by fire to Adonai* as a fragrant aroma; its drink offering is to be of wine, one quart. You are not to eat bread, dried grain or fresh grain until the day you bring the offering for your God; this is a permanent regulation through all your generations, no matter where you live.
