| 1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
| 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts. |
|
| 3 Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto Jehovah in all your dwellings. |
|
| 4 These are the set feasts of Jehovah, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season. |
|
| 5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings, is Jehovah’s passover. |
|

|
| 7 In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work. |

|
| 9 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, |
|
| 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest unto the priest: |
|
| 11 and he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. |
|
| 12 And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt-offering unto Jehovah. |
|
| 13 And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin. |
|
| 14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. |
|
| 15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-offering; seven sabbaths shall there be complete: |
|
| 16 even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal-offering unto Jehovah. |
|
| 17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baken with leaven, for first-fruits unto Jehovah. |
Two wave loaves – Picturing the Little Flock and Great Company, symbolized by the Lord's goat and the Scape-goat, the classes which present themselves in consecration to the Lord (and, in the Tabernacle type, are tied to the door – the entrance to the Holy, the same place where the priests were consecrated. – Lev. 8:31-35)
They shall be baken with leaven – Leaven is a picture of sin. This baking pictures the hard trials which burns (or purges) out the sin from the new creature. – R5050:6 |
| 18 And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt-offering unto Jehovah, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah. |

|
| 21 And ye shall make proclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be a holy convocation unto you; ye shall do no servile work: it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. |

| 27 Howbeit on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonements: it shall be a holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Jehovah. |
|
| 28 And ye shall do no manner of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonements, to make atonement for you before Jehovah your God. |
|
| 29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day; he shall be cut off from his people. |
|
| 30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people. |
|
| 31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. |
