1
And he shall not profane his seed among his people: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth him.
2
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
3
Speak unto Aaron, saying, Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
4
For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or anything superfluous,
5
or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed,
6
or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or is scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken;
7
no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of Jehovah made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God.
8
He shall eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy:
9
only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.
10
So Moses spake unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
11
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
12
Speak unto Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they hallow unto me, and that they profane not my holy name: I am Jehovah.
13
Say unto them, Whosoever he be of all your seed throughout your generations, that approacheth unto the holy things, which the children of Israel hallow unto Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me: I am Jehovah.
14
What man soever of the seed of Aaron is a leper, or hath an issue; he shall not eat of the holy things, until he be clean. And whoso toucheth anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goeth from him;
15
or whosoever toucheth any creeping thing, whereby he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatsoever uncleanness he hath;
16
the soul that toucheth any such shall be unclean until the even, and shall not eat of the holy things, unless he bathe his flesh in water.
17
And when the sun is down, he shall be clean; and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
18
That which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts, he shall not eat, to defile himself therewith: I am Jehovah.
19
They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die therein, if they profane it: I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.
20
There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing: a sojourner of the priest’s, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
21
But if a priest buy any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it; and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.
22
And if a priest’s daughter be married unto a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave-offering of the holy things.
23
But if a priest’s daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and be returned unto her father’s house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father’s bread: but there shall no stranger eat thereof.
24
And if a man eat of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part thereof unto it, and shall give unto the priest the holy thing.
25
And they shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah,
26
and
27
so cause them to bear the iniquity that bringeth guilt, when they eat their holy things: for I am Jehovah who sanctifieth them.
28
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
29
Speak unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them, Whosoever he be of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, that offereth his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill-offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah for a burnt-offering;
30
that ye may be accepted,
31
ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats.
32
But whatsoever hath a blemish, that shall ye not offer: for it shall not be acceptable for you.
33
And whosoever offereth a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill-offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish therein.
34
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a wen, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these unto Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar unto Jehovah.
35
Either a bullock or a lamb that hath anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that mayest thou offer for a freewill-offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
36
That which hath its stones bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer unto Jehovah; neither shall ye do
37
thus in your land.
38
Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these; because their corruption is in them, there is a blemish in them: they shall not be accepted for you.
39
And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
40
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam; and from the eighth day and thenceforth it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire unto Jehovah.
41
And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
42
And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving unto Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.
43
On the same day it shall be eaten; ye shall leave none of it until the morning: I am Jehovah.
44
Therefore shall ye keep my commandments, and do them: I am Jehovah.

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, [Concerning] the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations — these are my set feasts.
3
Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; no manner of work shall ye do: it is the sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.
4
These are the set feasts of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons:
5
In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the two evenings, is the passover to Jehovah.
6
And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened bread to Jehovah; seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread.
7
On the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do.
8
And ye shall present to Jehovah an offering by fire seven days; on the seventh day is a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do.
9
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
10
Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When ye come into the land that I give unto you, and ye reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest unto the priest.
11
And he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you; on the next day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12
And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf, a he-lamb without blemish, a yearling, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah;
13
and the oblation thereof: two tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering by fire to Jehovah for a sweet odour; and the drink-offering thereof, of wine, a fourth part of a hin.
14
And ye shall not eat bread, or roast corn, or green ears, until the same day that ye have brought the offering of yourGod: [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15
And ye shall count from the morning after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-offering, seven weeks; they shall be complete;
16
even unto the morning after the seventh sabbath shall ye count fifty days; and ye shall present a new oblation to Jehovah.
17
Out of your dwellings shall ye bring two wave-loaves, of two tenths of fine flour; with leaven shall they be baken; [as] first-fruits to Jehovah.
18
And ye shall present with the bread seven he-lambs without blemish, yearlings, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt-offering to Jehovah with their oblation, and their drink-offerings, an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah.
19
And ye shall sacrifice one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs, yearlings, for a sacrifice of peace-offering.
20
And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits as a wave-offering before Jehovah, with the two he-lambs; they shall be holy to Jehovah, for the priest.
21
And ye shall make proclamation on that same day — a holy convocation shall it be unto you: no manner of servile work shall ye do: [it is] an everlasting statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not in thy harvest entirely reap the corners of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest shalt thou not gather: thou shalt leave them unto the poor and to the stranger: I am Jehovah yourGod.
23
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
24
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, shall ye have a rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25
No manner of servile work shall ye do; and ye shall present an offering by fire to Jehovah.
26
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
27
Also on the tenth of this seventh month is the day of the atonement: a holy convocation shall it be unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and present an offering by fire to Jehovah.
28
And ye shall do no manner of work on that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Jehovah yourGod.
29
For every soul that is not afflicted on that same day, shall be cut off from among his peoples.
30
And every soul that doeth any manner of work on that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31
No manner of work shall ye do: [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32
A sabbath of rest shall it be unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls. On the ninth of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
34
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths seven days to Jehovah.
35
On the first day there shall be a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do.
36
Seven days ye shall present an offering by fire to Jehovah; on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall present an offering by fire to Jehovah: it is a solemn assembly; no manner of servile work shall ye do.
37
These are the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present an offering by fire to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and an oblation, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, everything upon its day;
38
besides the sabbaths of Jehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.
39
But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the produce of the land, ye shall celebrate the feast of Jehovah seven days: on the first day there shall be rest, and on the eighth day there shall be rest.
40
And ye shall take on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, palm branches and the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before Jehovah yourGod seven days.
41
And ye shall celebrate it as a feast to Jehovah seven days in the year: [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations; in the seventh month shall ye celebrate it.
42
In booths shall ye dwell seven days; all born in Israel shall dwell in booths;
43
that your generations may know that I caused the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah yourGod.
44
And Moses declared the set feasts of Jehovah to the children of Israel.

Ye shall do no work on this self-same day: for this is a day of atonement for you, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.

37
These [are] the feasts to the Lord, which ye shall call holy convocations, to offer burnt-offerings to the Lord, whole-burnt-offerings and their meat-offerings, and their drink-offerings, that for each day on its day:
38
besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides your free-will-offerings, which ye shall give to the Lord.

[It is] a perpetual statute for your generations: in the seventh month ye shall keep it.
42
Seven days ye shall dwell in tabernacles: every native in Israel shall dwell in tents,
43
that your posterity may see, that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tents, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I [am] the Lord your God.

Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
2
Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Hæ sunt feriæ Domini, quas vocabitis sanctas.
3
Sex diebus facietis opus: dies septimus, quia sabbati requies est, vocabitur sanctus. omne opus non facietis in eo. sabbatum Domini est in cunctis habitationibus vestris.
4
Hæ sunt ergo feriæ Domini sanctæ, quas celebrare debetis temporibus suis.
5
Mense primo, quartadecima die mensis ad vesperum, Phase Domini est:
6
et quintadecima die mensis huius, sollemnitas azymorum Domini est. Septem diebus azyma comedetis.
7
dies primus erit vobis celeberrimus, sanctusque: omne opus servile non facietis in eo:
8
sed offeretis sacrificium in igne Domino septem diebus. dies autem septimus erit celebrior et sanctior: nullumque servile opus facietis in eo.
9
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
10
Loquere filiis Israel, et dices ad eos: Cum ingressi fueritis terram, quam ego dabo vobis, et messueritis segetem, feretis manipulos spicarum, primitias messis vestræ ad sacerdotem:
11
qui elevabit fasciculum coram Domino, ut acceptabile sit pro vobis, altero die Sabbati, et sanctificabit illum.
12
Atque in eodem die quo manipulus consecratur, cædetur agnus immaculatus anniculus in holocaustum Domini.
13
Et libamenta offerentur cum eo, duæ decimæ similæ conspersæ oleo in incensum Domini, odoremque suavissimum: liba quoque vini, quarta pars hin.
14
Panem, et polentam, et pultes non comedetis ex segete, usque ad diem qua offeretis ex ea Deo vestro. Præceptum est sempiternum in generationibus, cunctisque habitaculis vestris.
15
Numerabitis ergo ab altero die Sabbati, in quo obtulistis manipulum primitiarum, septem hebdomadas plenas,
16
usque ad alteram diem expletionis hebdomadæ septimæ, id est quinquaginta dies: et sic offeretis sacrificium novum Domino
17
ex omnibus habitaculis vestris, panes primitiarum duos de duabus decimis similæ fermentatæ, quos coquetis in primitias Domini.
18
Offeretisque cum panibus septem agnos immaculatos anniculos, et vitulum de armento unum, et arietes duos, et erunt in holocaustum cum libamentis suis, in odorem suavissimum Domini.
19
Facietis et hircum pro peccato, duosque agnos anniculos hostias pacificorum.
20
Cumque elevaverit eos sacerdos cum panibus primitiarum coram Domino, cedent in usum eius.
21
Et vocabitis hunc diem celeberrimum, atque sanctissimum: omne opus servile non facietis in eo. Legitimum sempiternum erit in cunctis habitaculis, et generationibus vestris.
22
Postquam autem messueritis segetem terræ vestræ, nec secabitis eam usque ad solum: nec remanentes spicas colligetis, sed pauperibus et peregrinis dimittetis eas. Ego sum Dominus Deus vester.
23
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
24
Loquere filiis Israel: Mense septimo, prima die mensis, erit vobis sabbatum, memoriale, clangentibus tubis, et vocabitur sanctum:
25
omne opus servile non facietis in eo, et offeretis holocaustum Domino.
26
Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
27
Decimo die mensis huius septimi, dies expiationum erit celeberrimus, et vocabitur sanctus: affligetisque animas vestras in eo, et offeretis holocaustum Domino.
28
Omne opus servile non facietis in tempore diei huius: quia dies propitiationis est, ut propitietur vobis Dominus Deus vester.
29
Omnis anima, quæ afflicta non fuerit die hac, peribit de populis suis:
30
et quæ operis quippiam fecerit, delebo eam de populo suo.
31
Nihil ergo operis facietis in eo: legitimum sempiternum erit vobis in cunctis generationibus, et habitationibus vestris.
32
sabbatum requietionis est, et affligetis animas vestras die nono mensis: A vespera usque ad vesperam celebrabitis sabbata vestra.
33
Et locutus est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens:
34
Loquere filiis Israel: A quintodecimo die mensis huius septimi, erunt feriæ tabernaculorum septem diebus Domino.
35
Dies primus vocabitur celeberrimus atque sanctissimus: omne opus servile non facietis in eo.
36
Et septem diebus offeretis holocausta Domino. dies quoque octavus erit celeberrimus atque sanctissimus, et offeretis holocaustum Domino: est enim cœtus atque collectæ: omne opus servile non facietis in eo.
37
Hæ sunt feriæ Domini, quas vocabitis celeberrimas atque sanctissimas, offeretisque in eis oblationes Domino, holocausta et libamenta iuxta ritum uniuscuiusque diei:
38
exceptis sabbatis Domini, donisque vestris, et quæ offeretis ex voto, vel quæ sponte tribuetis Domino.
39
A quintodecimo ergo die mensis septimi, quando congregaveritis omnes fructus terræ vestræ, celebrabitis ferias Domini septem diebus. die primo et die octavo erit sabbatum, id est requies.
40
Sumetisque vobis die primo fructus arboris pulcherrimæ, spatulasque palmarum, et ramos ligni densarum frondium, et salices de torrente, et lætabimini coram Domino Deo vestro.
41
celebrabitisque sollemnitatem eius septem diebus per annum. legitimum sempiternum erit in generationibus vestris. Mense septimo festa celebrabitis,
42
et habitabitis in umbraculis septem diebus. omnis, qui de genere est Israel, manebit in tabernaculis:
43
ut discant posteri vestri quod in tabernaculis habitare fecerim filios Israel, cum educerem eos de Terra Ægypti. ego Dominus Deus vester.
44
Locutusque est Moyses super sollemnitatibus Domini ad filios Israel.

The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The set feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
3
“‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings.
4
“‘These are the set feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.
5
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is the LORD’s Passover.
6
On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7
In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.
8
But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.’”
9
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
10
“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.
11
He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12
On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt offering to the LORD.
13
The meal offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14
You must not eat bread, or roasted grain, or fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15
“‘You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.
16
The next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to the LORD.
17
You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to the LORD.
18
You shall present with the bread seven lambs without defect a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to the LORD.
19
You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20
The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
21
You shall make proclamation on the same day that there shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22
“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not wholly reap into the corners of your field. You must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am the LORD your God.’”
23
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, there shall be a solemn rest for you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25
You shall do no regular work. You shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.’”
26
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
27
“However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement. It shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall afflict yourselves and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28
You shall do no kind of work in that same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God.
29
For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day shall be cut off from his people.
30
Whoever does any kind of work in that same day, I will destroy that person from among his people.
31
You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32
It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”
33
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
34
“Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths for seven days to the LORD.
35
On the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.
36
Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.
37
“‘These are the appointed feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt offering, a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day—
38
in addition to the Sabbaths of the LORD, and in addition to your gifts, and in addition to all your vows, and in addition to all your free will offerings, which you give to the LORD.
39
“‘So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of the LORD seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.
40
You shall take on the first day the fruit of majestic trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
41
You shall keep it as a feast to the LORD seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations. You shall keep it in the seventh month.
42
You shall dwell in temporary shelters for seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in temporary shelters,
43
that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in temporary shelters when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”
44
So Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of the LORD.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2
`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, Appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim, holy convocations, <FI>are<Fi> these: they <FI>are<Fi> My appointed seasons:
3
six days is work done, and in the seventh day <FI>is<Fi> a sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; ye do no work; it <FI>is<Fi> a sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.
4
`These <FI>are<Fi> appointed seasons of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye proclaim in their appointed seasons:
5
in the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, <FI>is<Fi> the passover to Jehovah;
6
and on the fifteenth day of this month <FI>is<Fi> the feast of unleavened things to Jehovah; seven days unleavened things ye do eat;
7
on the first day ye have a holy convocation, ye do no servile work;
8
and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah seven days; in the seventh day <FI>is<Fi> a holy convocation; ye do no servile work.'
9
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
10
`Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When ye come in unto the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought in the sheaf, the beginning of your harvest unto the priest,
11
then he hath waved the sheaf before Jehovah for your acceptance; on the morrow of the sabbath doth the priest wave it.
12
`And ye have prepared in the day of your waving the sheaf a lamb, a perfect one, a son of a year, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah,
13
and its present two tenth deals of flour mixed with oil, a fire-offering to Jehovah, a sweet fragrance, and its drink-offering, wine, a fourth of the hin.
14
`And bread and roasted corn and full ears ye do not eat until this self-same day, until your bringing in the offering of your God--a statute age-during to your generations, in all your dwellings.
15
`And ye have numbered to you from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day of your bringing in the sheaf of the wave-offering: they are seven perfect sabbaths;
16
unto the morrow of the seventh sabbath ye do number fifty days, and ye have brought near a new present to Jehovah;
17
out of your dwellings ye bring in bread of a wave-offering, two <FI>loaves<Fi> , of two tenth deals of flour they are, <FI>with<Fi> yeast they are baken, first-<FI> fruits<Fi> to Jehovah.
18
`And ye have brought near, besides the bread, seven lambs, perfect ones, sons of a year, and one bullock, a son of the herd, and two rams; they are a burnt-offering to Jehovah, with their present and their libations, a fire-offering of sweet fragrance to Jehovah.
19
`And ye have prepared one kid of the goats for a sin-offering, and two lambs, sons of a year, for a sacrifice of peace-offerings,
20
and the priest hath waved them, besides the bread of the first-<FI> fruits<Fi> --a wave-offering before Jehovah, besides the two lambs; they are holy to Jehovah for the priest;
21
and ye have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy convocation is to you, ye do no servile work--a statute age-during in all your dwellings, to your generations.
22
`And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah <FI> am<Fi> your God.'
23
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
24
`Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation;
25
ye do no servile work, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah.'
26
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
27
`Only--on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah;
28
and ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your God.
29
`For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off from his people;
30
and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of his people;
31
ye do no work--a statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings.
32
It <FI>is<Fi> a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'
33
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
34
`Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the fifteenth day of this seventh month <FI>is<Fi> a feast of booths seven days to Jehovah;
35
on the first day <FI>is<Fi> a holy convocation, ye do no servile work,
36
seven days ye bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, on the eighth day ye have a holy convocation, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah; it <FI>is<Fi> a restraint, ye do no servile work.
37
`These <FI>are<Fi> appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in its day,
38
apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.
39
`Only--in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day <FI>is<Fi> a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath;
40
and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days.
41
`And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year--a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast.
42
`In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel dwell in booths,
43
so that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, <FI>am<Fi> your God.'
44
And Moses speaketh <FI>concerning<Fi> the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.

A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!

Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.

Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
