New Testament

Leviticus 23:31-36 New King James Version (NKJV)

31. You shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

32. It shall be to you a sabbath of solemn rest, and you shall afflict your souls; on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall celebrate your sabbath.”

33. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

34. “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days to the Lord.

35. On the first day there shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no customary work on it.

36. For seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. It is a sacred assembly, and you shall do no customary work on it.
