You must not do this in your own land,25and you must not accept such animals from the hand of a foreigner and offer them as the food of your God. They will not be accepted on your behalf, because they are deformed and have defects.’”26The LORD said to Moses,27“When a calf, a lamb or a goat is born, it is to remain with its mother for seven days. From the eighth day on, it will be acceptable as an offering made to the LORD by fire.28Do not slaughter a cow or a sheep and its young on the same day. 29“When you sacrifice a thank offering to the LORD, sacrifice it in such a way that it will be accepted on your behalf.30It must be eaten that same day; leave none of it till morning. I am the LORD. 31“Keep my commands and follow them. I am the LORD.32Do not profane my holy name. I must be acknowledged as holy by the Israelites.

And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’”Firstfruits 9The LORD said to Moses,10“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest.11He is to wave the sheaf before the LORD so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.12On the day you wave the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to the LORD a lamb a year old without defect,13together with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephahThat is, probably about 4 quarts (about 4.5 liters); also in verse 17 of fine flour mixed with oil—an offering made to the LORD by fire, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter of a hinThat is, probably about 1 quart (about 1 liter) of wine.14You must not eat any bread, or roasted or new grain, until the very day you bring this offering to your God. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.Feast of Weeks 15“‘From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks.16Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD.17From wherever you live, bring two loaves made of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour, baked with yeast, as a wave offering of firstfruits to the LORD.18Present with this bread seven male lambs, each a year old and without defect, one young bull and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the LORD, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—an offering made by fire, an aroma pleasing to the LORD.19Then sacrifice one male goat for a sin offering and two lambs, each a year old, for a fellowship offering.Traditionally peace offering20The priest is to wave the two lambs before the LORD as a wave offering, together with the bread of the firstfruits. They are a sacred offering to the LORD for the priest.21On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly and do no regular work. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.22“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the alien. I am the LORD your God.’” Feast of Trumpets 23The LORD said to Moses,24“Say to the Israelites: ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly commemorated with trumpet blasts.25Do no regular work, but present an offering made to the LORD by fire.’”Day of Atonement 26The LORD said to Moses,27“The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement.

It is the closing assembly; do no regular work.37(“‘These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for bringing offerings made to the LORD by fire—the burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings required for each day.38These offerings are in addition to those for the LORD’s Sabbaths andOr These feasts are in addition to the LORD's Sabbaths, and these offerings are in addition to your gifts and whatever you have vowed and all the freewill offerings 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 rest, and the eighth day also is a day of rest.40On the first day you are to take choice fruit from the trees, and palm fronds, leafy branches and poplars, and rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days. 44So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed feasts of the LORD.
