I am the LORD your God.'" | 22When you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap all the way to the edge of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.

| 23The LORD said to Moses, | 23The LORD spoke to Moses: " |
| 24"Say to the Israelites: 'On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of sabbath rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts. | 24Tell the Israelites: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a day of complete rest, commemoration, and joyful shouting--a sacred assembly. |
| 25Do no regular work, but present a food offering to the LORD.'" | 25You must not do any daily work, but you must present a fire offering to the LORD." |
| 26The LORD said to Moses, | 26The LORD again spoke to Moses: " |
| 27"The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. Hold a sacred assembly and deny yourselves, and present a food offering to the LORD. | 27The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You are to hold a sacred assembly and practice self-denial; you are to present a fire offering to the LORD. |
| 28Do not do any work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God. | 28On this particular day you are not to do any work, for it is a Day of Atonement to make atonement for yourselves before the LORD your God. |
| 29Those who do not deny themselves on that day must be cut off from their people. | 29If any person does not practice self-denial on this particular day, he must be cut off from his people. |
| 30I will destroy from among their people anyone who does any work on that day. | 30I will destroy among his people anyone who does any work on this same day. |
| 31You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live. | 31You are not to do any work. This is a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live. |
| 32It is a day of sabbath rest for you, and you must deny yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to observe your sabbath." | 32It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you must practice self-denial. You are to observe your Sabbath from the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening." |
| 33The LORD said to Moses, | 33The LORD spoke to Moses: " |
| 34"Say to the Israelites: 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the LORD's Festival of Tabernacles begins, and it lasts for seven days. | 34Tell the Israelites: The Festival of Booths to the LORD begins on the fifteenth day of this seventh month and continues for seven days. |
| 35The first day is a sacred assembly; do no regular work. | 35There is to be a sacred assembly on the first day; you are not to do any daily work. |
| 36For seven days present food offerings to the LORD, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly and present a food offering to the LORD. It is the closing special assembly; do no regular work. | 36You are to present a fire offering to the LORD for seven days. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present a fire offering to the LORD. It is a solemn gathering; you are not to do any daily work." |
| 37("'These are the LORD's appointed festivals, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for bringing food offerings to the LORD--the burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings required for each day. | 37These are the LORD's appointed times that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting fire offerings to the LORD, burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day. |
| 38These offerings are in addition to those for the LORD's Sabbaths and in addition to your gifts and whatever you have vowed and all the freewill offerings you give to the LORD.) | 38These are in addition to the offerings for the LORD's Sabbaths, your gifts, all your vow offerings, and all your freewill offerings that you give to the LORD." |
| 39"'So beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the crops of the land, celebrate the festival to the LORD for seven days; the first day is a day of sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is a day of sabbath rest. | 39You are to celebrate the LORD's festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh month for seven days after you have gathered the produce of the land. There will be complete rest on the first day and complete rest on the eighth day. |
| 40On the first day you are to take branches from luxuriant trees--from palms, willows and other leafy trees--and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. | 40On the first day you are to take the product of majestic trees--palm fronds, boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook--and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. |
| 41Celebrate this as a festival to the LORD for seven days each year. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come; celebrate it in the seventh month. | 41You are to celebrate it as a festival to the LORD seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for you throughout your generations; you must celebrate it in the seventh month. |
| 42Live in temporary shelters for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters | 42You are to live in booths for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must live in booths, |
| 43so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.'" | 43so that your generations may know that I made the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt; I am Yahweh your God." |
| 44So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed festivals of the LORD. | 44So Moses declared the LORD's appointed times to the Israelites. |
