Leviticus 23:3-11 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

3. “Work may be done for six days, but on the seventh day there must be a Sabbath of complete rest, a sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you live.

4. “These are the Lord’s appointed times, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times.

5. The Passover to the Lord comes in the first month, at twilight on the fourteenth day of the month.

6. The Festival of Unleavened Bread to the Lord is on the fifteenth day of the same month. 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 daily work.

8. You are to present a fire offering to the Lord for seven days. On the seventh day there will be a sacred assembly; you must not do any daily work.”

9. The Lord spoke to Moses:

10. “Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you and reap its harvest, you are to bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest.

11. He will wave the sheaf before the Lord so that you may be accepted; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
