1. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2. “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘The festivals of Yahweh that you shall proclaim are holy assemblies; these are my appointed times.
3. “ ‘For six days work is to be done, and on the seventh day shall be a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy assembly; you shall not do any work; it shall be a Sabbath for Yahweh in all your dwellings.
4. “ ‘These are Yahweh’s appointed times, holy assemblies, which you shall proclaim at their appointed time.
5. In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month at the evening is Yahweh’s Passover.
6. And on the fifteenth day of this month is Yahweh’s Feast of Unleavened Bread; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7. On the first day there shall be a holy assembly for you; you shall not do any regular work.
8. And you shall present an offering for Yahweh made by fire for seven days; on the seventh day there shall be a holy assembly; you shall not do any regular work.’ ”
9. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10. “Speak to the Israelites, and say to them, ‘When you come to the land that I am about to give to you and you reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruit of your harvest to the priest.
11. And he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh for your acceptance; the priest shall wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
12. And on the day of your waving the sheaf you shall offer a yearling male lamb without defect as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
