'* 1.11 AND the Lorde spake [unspec A] 'vnto Moyses, saying:

2 Speake vnto the chil∣dren of Israel, and say vnto thē: The feastes of the Lorde which ye shall call holy conuoca∣tions, euen these are my feastes.

3 * 1.2Sixe dayes ye shall worke: but the seuenth day is the Sabboth of rest, an holy cōuocation, so that ye do no worke therin: it is the Sabboth of the Lorde in all your dwellynges.

4 These are the feastes of the Lorde, euen holy conuocations, which ye shall proclayme in their seasons.

'5 In the fourteenth day of the first mo∣neth 'at euen, is the Lordes* 1.3 Passouer:

6 And on the fifteenth day of the same moneth, is the feast of vnleauened bread vnto the Lorde: seuen dayes ye must eate vnleauened bread.

7 * 1.4In the first day ye shall haue an holy conuocation: ye shal do no seruile worke therin.

8 But ye shall offer sacrifices made by [unspec B] fire vnto the Lorde throughout these seuen dayes: and in the seuenth day is an holy conuocation, ye shall do no ser∣uile worke therin.

'9 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, 'saying:

10 Speake vnto the children of Is∣rael, and say vnto them:* 1.5 When ye be come into the lande which I geue vnto you, and reape downe the haruest ther∣of, ye shall bryng a sheafe of the first fruites of your haruest vnto the priest:

11

Which shall waue the sheafe before the Lorde, to be accepted for you: and euen the morowe after the Sabboth the priest shall waue it.

12

And ye shall offer that day when ye waue the sheafe, an hee lambe without blemishe of a yere olde, for a burnt offe∣ryng vnto the Lorde:

13

And the meate offeryng therof, shalbe made of two tenth deales of fine floure myngled with oyle, to be a sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord for a sweete sauour: and the drynke offeryng therof shalbe of wine, euen the fourth deale of an hyn.

14

And ye shal eate neither bread nor par∣ched [unspec C] corne, nor greene eares, vntyl y^e selfe same day that ye haue brought an offe∣ring vnto your God: Let this be a lawe for euer in your generations, and in all your dwellynges.

15

And ye shall count vnto you from the morowe after the Sabboth, euen from the day that ye brought the sheafe of the waue offeryng, seuen Sabbothes they shalbe complet:

16

Euen vnto the morowe after y^e seuenth Sabboth shall ye number fiftie dayes, and ye shall bryng a newe meate offe∣ryng vnto the Lorde.

17 And ye shall bryng out of your habita∣tions two waue loaues made of two tenth deales of fine flowre, and that are made with leauen, for first fruites vnto the Lorde.

18 And ye shall bryng with the bread * 1.6 se∣uen lambes without deformitie, of one yere of age, and one young bullocke, and two rammes, which shall serue for a burnt offeryng vnto the Lorde, with their meate offeringes and their drinke offeringes, to be a sacrifice made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lorde.

[unspec D]

19 Then ye shall prepare an hee goate for a sinne offeryng, and two lambes of one yere olde for peace offerynges.

20 And the priest shall waue them with the bread of the first fruites for a waue offering before the Lorde, and with the two lambes: they shalbe holy to the Lorde for the priestes.

21 And ye shall proclayme the same day, that it may be an holy conuocation vnto you: ye shall do no seruile worke therin, let it be a lawe for euer in all your dwel∣lynges throughout your generations.

22 * 1.7And whē ye reape downe the haruest of your lande, thou shalt not make cleane riddaunce of the corners of thy fielde when thou reapest, neither shalt thou make any after gatheryng of thy haruest, but shalt leaue them vnto the poore and the straunger: I am the Lorde your God.

'23 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, 'saying:

24 Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, and say: In the seuenth moneth, in the first day of the moneth shall ye haue Sabbath, * 1.8 euen the remembraunce of blowyng of trumpettes, an holy con∣uocation.

25 Ye shall do no seruile worke therein, but offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the [unspec E] Lorde.

'26 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses, 'saying:

27 The * 1.9 tenth day also of the selfe seuenth moneth is a day of reconcilyng, therfore shal it be an holy conuocation vnto you, & ye shall “ 1.10 humble your soules, and of∣fer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord.

28 Ye shall do no worke y^e same day, for it is a day of recōciling, to make an attone∣ment for you before the Lord your God.

29 For whatsoeuer soule it be that hum∣bleth not hym selfe that day, he shalbe cut of from among his people.

30

And whatsoeuer soule do any worke that day, the same soule wyll I destroy from among his people.

31

Ye shall do no maner worke therfore: let it be a lawe for euer in your genera∣tions, and in all your dwellynges.

32

Let it be vnto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall humble your soules in the ninth day of the moneth at euen: from euen to euen shall ye celebrate your Sabbath.

33 And the Lorde spake vnto Moyses,' saying:'

34

Speake vnto the chyldren of Israel, [unspec F] & say: * 1.11The fifteenth day of the same se∣uenth moneth is the feast of taberna∣cles seuen dayes vnto the Lorde.

35 The first day is an holy conuocation:' ye shall do no seruile worke.'

36

Seuen dayes ye shall offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lorde, and in the eyght day shalbe an holy conuocation vnto you, and ye shall offer sacrifices made by fire vnto the Lorde: It is the solempne assemblie, and ye shall do no seruile worke therin.

37

These are the feastes of the Lorde which ye shall call holy conuocations, for to offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lorde, burnt offeryng, meate offe∣ryng, sacrifices, and drynke offerynges, euery thyng vpon his day:

38

Besyde the Sabbathes of the Lorde, and besyde your giftes, besyde all your vowes, and all your free offerynges which ye geue vnto the Lorde.

39

Moreouer, in the fifteenth day of the [unspec G] seuenth moneth when ye haue gathered in the fruite of the lande, ye shall kepe holy day vnto the Lorde seuen dayes: The first day shalbe a Sabbath, lyke∣wise in the eyght day shalbe a Sabbath.

40

And ye shall take you in the first day the fruites of goodly trees, braunches of palme trees, and the bowes of thicke trees, and willowes of the brooke, and shall reioyce before the Lord your God seuen dayes.

41

And ye shall kepe this feast vnto the Lorde seuen dayes in the yere: It shal∣be a lawe for euer in your generations, that ye kepe it in the seuenth moneth.

42

Ye shal dwell in boothes seuen dayes: euen all that are Israelites borne shall dwell in boothes:

43

That your children after you may

knowe howe that I made the children of Israel to dwell in boothes when I brought them out of the lande of Egipt: I am the Lorde your God.

44 And Moyses declared vnto the chil∣dren' of Israel the feastes of the Lorde.* 1.12'
