Leviticus 23:1-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2. Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.

3. For six days you shall do work; the seventh day, because it is the rest of the Sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwelling places.

4. Therefore, these are the feasts of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their times.

5. The first month, the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, is the Passover of the Lord.

6. And the fifteenth day of this month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. For seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.

7. The first day shall be greatly honored and holy to you; you shall do no servile work in it.

8. But you shall offer a sacrifice with fire, for seven days, to the Lord. Then the seventh day shall be more honored and more holy; and you shall do no servile work in it.

9. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

10. Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land which I will give to you, and you will have harvested your grain fields, you shall carry the sheaves of grain, the first-fruits of your harvest, to the priest.

11. He shall lift up a sheaf before the Lord, on the day after the Sabbath, so that it may be acceptable for you, and he shall sanctify it.
