Leviticus 23:22-37 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. And when you will have harvested the grain fields of your land, you shall not cut it down all the way to the ground; neither shall you gather the remnants of the ears of grain, but you shall leave these for paupers and strangers. I am the Lord your God.

23. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

24. Say to the sons of Israel: The seventh month, the first day of the month, shall be a Sabbath for you, a memorial, with the sounding of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.

25. You shall do no servile work in it, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

26. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

27. The tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement; it shall be most honored, and it shall be called holy. And you shall afflict your souls on that day, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

28. You shall do no servile work in the time of this day; for it is a day of propitiation, so that the Lord your God may be merciful to you.

29. Every soul that has not been afflicted on this day shall perish from his people,

30. and anyone who will have done work, I shall wipe him away from his people.

31. Therefore, you shall do no work on that day. This shall be an everlasting ordinance for you in all your generations and dwelling places.

32. It is a Sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month: from evening until evening you shall celebrate your Sabbaths.

33. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

34. Say to the sons of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this seventh month, there shall be the Feast of Tabernacles: seven days for the Lord.

35. The first day shall be called most honored and most holy; you shall do no servile work in it.

36. And for seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. Likewise, the eighth day shall be most honored and most holy, and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. For it is the day of assembly and gathering. You shall do no servile work in it.

37. These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most honored and most holy, and in them you shall offer oblations to the Lord: holocausts and libations according to the rite of each particular day,
