Leviticus 23:1-11 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2. Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: Concerning the feasts of the Lord that you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, these are My appointed feasts.

3. For six days work shall be done, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of complete rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work. It is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwellings.

4. These are the appointed feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim in their appointed times.

5. On the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the Lord’s Passover.

6. On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.

7. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.

8. But you shall offer a food offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.

9. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

10. Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you have come into the land that I am giving to you and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf bundle of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.

11. And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord so that you may be accepted. On the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
