Chapter 23
1
And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
{dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto
Moses, saying, 2
Speak
unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
Concerning
the feast of Jehovah/God,
which
you shall proclaim to be holy convocations,
even
these are My feasts.
3
Six days shall work be done,
but
the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation;
you
shall do no work therein.
It
is the Sabbath of Jehovah/God in all your dwellings.
4
These are the feasts of Jehovah/God, even holy convocations,
which
you shall proclaim in their seasons.
5
In the fourteenth day of the first month
at
evening is Jehovah/God's Passover.
6
And on the fifteenth day of the same month
is
the feast of unleavened bread unto Jehovah/God.
Seven
days you must eat unleavened bread.
7
In the first day you shall have an holy convocation.
You
shall do no servile work therein.
8
But you shall offer an offering
made
by fire unto Jehovah/God seven days.
In
the seventh day is an holy convocation.
You
shall do no servile work therein.
9
And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
{dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto
Moses, saying, 10
Speak
unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,
When
you be come into the land which I give unto you,
and
shall reap the harvest thereof,
then
you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest
unto
the priest.
11
And he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah/God,
to
be accepted for you.
On
the morrow after the Sabbath
the
priest shall wave it.
12
And you shall offer that day
when
you wave the sheaf
an
he-lamb without blemish
of
the first year
for
a burnt offering unto Jehovah/God.
13
And the 'gift/grain offering' {minchah}
thereof
shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil,
an
offering made by fire unto Jehovah/God
for
a sweet savor {represents 'acceptance'}.
And
the drink offering thereof shall be of wine,
the
fourth part of an hin.
14
And you shall eat neither bread,
nor
parched corn, nor green ears,
until
the selfsame day
that
you have brought an offering unto your 'Elohiym/Godhead.
It
shall be a statute forever
throughout
your generations in all your dwellings.
15
And you shall count unto you
from
the morrow after the Sabbath,
from
the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering;
seven
Sabbaths shall be complete.
16
Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath
shall
you number fifty days;
and
you shall offer a new 'gift/grain offering' {minchah}
unto
Jehovah/God.
17
You shall bring out of your habitations
two
wave loaves of two tenth deals.
They
shall be of fine flour;
they
shall be baken with leaven;
they
are the firstfruits unto Jehovah/God.
18
And you shall offer with the bread
seven
lambs without blemish of the first year,
and
one young bull, and two rams.
They
shall be for a burnt offering unto Jehovah/God,
with
their 'gift/grain offering' {minchah},
and
their drink offerings,
even
an offering made by fire,
of
sweet savor {represents 'acceptance'}
unto
Jehovah/God.
19
Then you shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering,
and
two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20
And the priest shall wave them
with
the bread of the firstfruits
for
a wave offering before Jehovah/God,
with
the two lambs.
They
shall be holy to Jehovah/God for the priest.
21
And you shall proclaim on the selfsame day,
that
it may be an holy convocation unto you.
You
shall do no servile work therein.
It
shall be a statute forever in all your dwellings
throughout
your generations.
22
And when you reap the harvest of your land,
you
shall not make clean riddance of the corners of your field
when
you reap,
neither
shall you gather any gleaning of your harvest.
You
shall leave them unto the poor,
and
to the stranger.
I
am Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead.
23
And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
{dabar
- Piel intensive stem}
unto
Moses, saying, 24
Speak
unto the children of Israel, saying,
In
the seventh month,
in
the first day of the month,
shall
you have a Sabbath,
a
memorial of blowing of trumpets,
an
holy convocation.
25
You shall do no servile work therein.
But
you shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah/God.
26
And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
{dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto
Moses, saying, 27
also
on the tenth day of this seventh month
there
shall be a day of atonement.
It
shall be an holy convocation unto you;
and
you shall 'have humbled' {`anah} your souls,
{`anah - Piel intensive stem and Perfect (completed action) tense -
to humble yourself means
to having become grace oriented in the past with results that last
forever - to recognize all
that God is, compared to all that you are not! In the Jewish Age,
they took a day out of the
year to do this. In the Church Age, we are to do this every day -
Daily Occupation with Christ.}
and
offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah/God.
28
And you shall do no work in that same day.
For
it is a day of atonement,
to
make an atonement for you before Jehovah/God
your
'Elohiym/Godhead.
29
For whatsoever soul it be
that
shall not be afflicted in that same day,
he
shall be cut off from among his people.
30
And whatsoever soul it be who does any work in that same day,
the
same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31
You shall do no manner of work.
It
shall be a statute forever throughout your generations
in
all your dwellings.
32
It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest,
and
you shall afflict your souls.
In
the ninth day of the month at evening,
from
evening unto evening,
shall
you celebrate your Sabbath.
33
And Jehovah/God spoke/'communicated doctrine categorically'
{dabar - Piel intensive stem}
unto
Moses, saying, 34
Speak
unto the children of Israel, saying,
The
fifteenth day of this seventh month
shall
be the feast of tabernacles
for
seven days unto Jehovah/God.
35
On the first day shall be an holy convocation.
You
shall do no servile work therein.
36
Seven days you shall offer an offering
made
by fire unto Jehovah/God.
On
the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you;
and
you shall offer an offering made
by
fire unto Jehovah/God.
It
is a solemn assembly;
and
you shall do no servile work therein.
37
These are the feasts of Jehovah/God,
which
you shall proclaim to be holy convocations,
to
offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah/God,
a
burnt offering, and a 'gift/grain offering' {minchah},
a
sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day.
38
Beside the Sabbaths of Jehovah/God,
and
beside your gifts, and beside all your vows,
and
beside all your freewill offerings,
which
you give unto Jehovah/God.
39
Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month,
when
you have gathered in the fruit of the land,
you
shall keep a feast unto Jehovah/God seven days.
On
the first day shall be a Sabbath,
and
on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath.
40
And you shall take you on the first day
the
boughs of goodly trees,
branches
of palm trees,
and
the boughs of thick trees,
and
willows of the brook;
and
you shall rejoice before Jehovah/God
your
'Elohiym/Godhead seven days.
41
And you shall keep it a feast unto Jehovah/God
seven
days in the year.
It
shall be a statute forever in your generations.
You
shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
42
You shall dwell in booths
{cukkah - rude or temporary shelter}
seven
days;
all
who are Israelites born shall dwell in booths.
43
That your generations may know
that
I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths,
when
I brought them out of the land of Egypt.
I
am Jehovah/God your 'Elohiym/Godhead.
44
And Moses declared unto the children of Israel
the
feasts of Jehovah/God.
