Sinai & The Law

and ye have proclaimed on this self-same day: a holy convocation is to you, ye do no servile work--a statute age-during in all your dwellings, to your generations.

`And in your reaping the harvest of your land thou dost not complete the corner of thy field in thy reaping, and the gleaning of thy harvest thou dost not gather, to the poor and to the sojourner thou dost leave them; I Jehovah am your God.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, ye have a sabbath, a memorial of shouting, a holy convocation;

ye do no servile work, and ye have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`Only--on the tenth of this seventh month is a day of atonements; ye have a holy convocation, and ye have humbled yourselves, and have brought near a fire-offering to Jehovah;

and ye do no work in this self-same day, for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you, before Jehovah your God.

`For any person who is not humbled in this self-same day hath even been cut off from his people;

and any person who doth any work in this self-same day I have even destroyed that person from the midst of his people;

ye do no work--a statute age-during to your generations in all your dwellings.

It is a sabbath of rest to you, and ye have humbled yourselves in the ninth of the month at even; from evening till evening ye do keep your sabbath.'

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

`These are appointed seasons of Jehovah, which ye proclaim holy convocations, to bring near a fire-offering to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and a present, a sacrifice, and libations, a thing of a day in its day,

apart from the sabbaths of Jehovah, and apart from your gifts, and apart from all your vows, and apart from all your willing-offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.

`Only--in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, in your gathering the increase of the land, ye do keep the feast of Jehovah seven days; on the first day is a sabbath, and on the eighth day a sabbath;

and ye have taken to yourselves on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, branches of palms, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of a brook, and have rejoiced before Jehovah your God seven days.

`And ye have kept it a feast to Jehovah, seven days in a year--a statute age-during to your generations; in the seventh month ye keep it a feast.

`In booths ye dwell seven days; all who are natives in Israel dwell in booths,

so that your generations do know that in booths I caused the sons of Israel to dwell; in my bringing them out of the land of Egypt; I, Jehovah, am your God.'

And Moses speaketh concerning the appointed seasons of Jehovah unto the sons of Israel.

And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
