Vayikra 23:25-41 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

25. Ye shall do no melekhet avodah therein; but ye shall offer an offering made by eish unto Hashem.

26. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

27. Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be Yom Kippurim; it shall be a mikra kodesh unto you; and ye shall afflict your nefashot, and offer an offering made by eish unto Hashem.

28. And ye shall do no work in that same day; for it is Yom Kippurim, to make kapporah for you before Hashem Eloheichem.

29. For whatsoever nefesh it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.

30. And whatsoever nefesh it be that doeth any work in that same day, that nefesh will I destroy from among his people.

31. Ye shall do no manner of work; it shall be a chukkat olam throughout your dorot in all your dwellings.

32. It shall be unto you a Shabbos Shabbaton, and ye shall afflict your nefashot; in the ninth day of the month at erev, from erev unto erev, shall ye observe your Shabbos.

33. And Hashem spoke unto Moshe, saying,

34. Speak unto the Bnei Yisroel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Chag HaSukkot for shivat yamim unto Hashem.

35. On the Yom HaRishon shall be a mikra kodesh; ye shall do no melekhet avodah (laborious work) therein.

36. Shivat yamim ye shall offer an offering made by eish unto Hashem; on the eighth day shall be a mikra kodesh unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by eish unto Hashem; it is an atzeret (assembly); and ye shall do no melekhet avodah therein.

37. These are the Mo'adim of Hashem, which ye shall proclaim to be mikra'ei kodesh, to offer an offering made by eish unto Hashem--an olah (burnt offering), and a minchah, a zevach, and nesakim, every required thing upon its day,

38. Beside the Shabbatot of Hashem, and beside your mattenot, and beside all your nederim, and beside all your nedavot (freewill offerings), which ye give unto Hashem.

39. Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the crop of HaAretz, ye shall keep a Chag (Feast) unto Hashem shivat yamim; on the first day shall be a Shabbaton, and on the eighth day shall be a Shabbaton.

40. And ye shall take you on the Yom HaRishon the fruit of the citron tree, branches of temarim (date palms), and twigs of plaited trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before Hashem Eloheichem shivat yamim.

41. And ye shall keep it a Chag (Feast) unto Hashem shivat yamim in the shanah. It shall be a chukkat olam in your dorot; ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
