1
And it came to pass that the angel of יהוה (YHVH) did come up from Gilgal to Bochim and did speak the Word of יהוה (YHVH) saying:
2
I did make you to go up out of Egypt and have brought you unto the land which I swore unto your fathers; and I did say: I will never break my covenant with you.
3
And ye shall make no league with the inhabitants of this land; ye shall throw down their altars; but ye have not obeyed my voice.
4
And why have ye done this?
5
Wherefore, I also did say: I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their elohim shall be a snare unto you.
6
¶ And it came to pass that when the angel of יהוה (YHVH) spoke these words unto all the children of Israel, that the people did lift up their voice and they did weep aloud.
7
¶ And it came to pass that they did remember the Torah of יהוה (YHVH) given by the mouth of Moses, saying unto all of Israel:
8
I am YHVH, thy Elohim, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, to give thee the land of promise and to be thy Elohim;
9
Thou shall be my Israel, thou shall keep my Sabbaths and find reverence in my sanctuary; for I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
10
¶ And Six days shall work be done; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, for a solemn assembly; thou shalt do no work therein; it is the Sabbath of יהוה (YHVH) in all of your dwellings.
11
Yea, and for six days thou shalt do thy work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest, that thine ox and thine ass may rest, and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
12
¶ And six years thou shalt sow thy land and shalt gather in the fruits thereof;
13
But the seventh year thou shalt let it rest and lie still, that the poor of thy people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field shall eat.
14
In like manner thou shalt deal with thy vineyard and with thy olive yard; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
15
¶ Three times thou shalt keep a feast unto me in the year:
16
Thou shalt keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, in which thou shalt eat unleavened bread seven days as I taught thee in the time appointed of the month; for in it thou camest out from Egypt; and none shall appear before me empty.
17
And the Feast of Weeks, the first fruits of thy labors which thou hast sown in the field.
18
And the Feast of Booths, for this is when thou hast gathered in thy final labors out of the field.
19
These three times in the year, all thy males shall appear before my face; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
20
¶ These are the feasts of יהוה (YHVH); holy convocations, even convocations and feasts unto יהוה (YHVH), your Elohim.
21
Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is the Sabbath day:
22
You shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of יהוה (YHVH), in all your dwellings:
23
You shall take care that nothing perish nor diminish, yet thou shalt not labor for hire nor increase.
24
In this, you shall have a holy convocation in all your Temples and Synagogues.
25
And concerning the feasts of יהוה (YHVH), which you shall proclaim to be solemn assemblies, even these are my feasts, and I am YHVH.
26
¶ And it came to pass that the people did remember HaShem YHVH.
27
And so it was that they did call the name of that place Bochim; and there they did offer sacrifices unto יהוה (YHVH).
