1. Then Adonai spoke to Moses saying:
2. “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, and tell them: These are the appointed moadim of Adonai, which you are to proclaim to be holy convocations—My moadim.
3. “Work may be done for six days, but the seventh day is a Shabbat of solemn rest, a holy convocation. You are to do no work—it is a Shabbat to Adonai in all your dwellings.
4. “These are the appointed feasts of Adonai, holy convocations which you are to proclaim in their appointed season.
5. During the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Adonai’s Passover.
6. On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Matzot to Adonai. For seven days you are to eat matzah .
7. On the first day you are to have a holy convocation and you shall do no regular work.
8. Instead you are to present an offering made by fire to Adonai for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation, when you are to do no regular work.”
9. Adonai spoke to Moses saying:
10. “Speak to Bnei-Yisrael and tell them: When you have come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you are to bring the omer of the firstfruits of your harvest to the kohen.
11. He is to wave the omer before Adonai, to be accepted for you. On the morrow after the Shabbat, the kohen is to wave it.
12. On the day when you wave the omer you are to offer a male lamb without blemish, one year old, as a burnt offering to Adonai.
