Leviticus 23:26-44

New International Version

The Day of Atonement^(A)

²⁶ The Lord said to Moses, ²⁷ “The tenth day of this seventh month^(B) is the Day of Atonement.^(C) Hold a sacred assembly^(D) and deny yourselves,^[a] and present a food offering to the Lord. ²⁸ Do not do any work^(E) on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the Lord your God. ²⁹ Those who do not deny themselves on that day must be cut off from their people.^{(F) 30} I will destroy from among their people^(G) anyone who does any work on that day. ³¹ You shall do no work at all. This is to be a lasting ordinance^(H) for the generations to come, wherever you live. ³² It is a day of sabbath rest^(I) 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.”^(J)

The Festival of Tabernacles^(K)

³³ The Lord said to Moses, ³⁴ “Say to the Israelites: ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh^(L) month the Lord’s Festival of Tabernacles^(M) begins, and it lasts for seven days. ³⁵ The first day is a sacred assembly;^(N) do no regular work.^{(O) 36} For seven days present food offerings to the Lord, and on the eighth day hold a sacred assembly^(P) and present a food offering to the Lord.^(Q) It is the closing special assembly; do no regular 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^(R) required for each day. ³⁸ These offerings^(S) are in addition to those for the Lord’s Sabbaths^(T) and^[b] in addition to your gifts and whatever you have vowed and all the freewill offerings^(U) 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^(V) to the Lord for seven days;^(W) the first day is a day of sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is a day of sabbath rest. ⁴⁰ On the first day you are to take branches^(X) from luxuriant trees—from palms, willows and other leafy trees^(Y)—and rejoice^(Z) before the Lord your God for seven days. ⁴¹ Celebrate 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. ⁴² Live in temporary shelters^(AA) for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters ⁴³ so your descendants will know^(AB) that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’”

⁴⁴ So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed festivals of the Lord.
