Leviticus 23:1-8 ▼

1 Then the LORD {YHWH} said to Moses (drawn out),

2 “Speak to the Israelites (God prevails) and say to them, ‘These are My appointed feasts, the feasts of the LORD {YHWH} that you⁺ are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.

3 For 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 {YHWH}.

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

5 The Passover to the LORD {YHWH} begins at twilight \between the two evenings/ on the fourteenth day of the first month.

6 On the fifteenth day of the same month begins the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD {YHWH}. For seven days you⁺ must eat unleavened bread.

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

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