Chapter 10

The Sabbaths of Zikhron Teru’ah (Rosh Hashanah), Yom Kippur, and Chag HaAsif (Sukkot)


1

And in the seventh montha, in the first day of the month, thou shall have a Sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocationb.

2

Thou shall do no servilea work on the Sabbath of Zikhron Teru’ahb for it is a day of teshuvahc for you; but thou shall offer an offering made by fire unto me, YHVHd, thy Elohime.

3

¶ On the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be Yom Kippura;

4

Thou shall gather in solemn assembly; and thou shall afflict thy souls and offer an offering made by fire unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

5

And thou shall do no work in that same day; for it is the Day of Atonementa, to make an atonement for you before me;

6

For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, they shall be cut off from among this people;

7

And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among this people; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

8

Thou shall do no manner of work; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings;

9

It shall be a Sabbatha of rest unto thee, and thou shall afflict thy soul; in the ninth day of the month at the evening, from the evening unto following evening, shall ye celebrate thy Sabbath.

10

And the Priest shall take him two kid goats, and cast lots upon them; one lot for me, YHVH, thy Elohim, and the other lot for Azâzêla.

11

And the Priest shall bring the goat upon which the lot fell and offer him for a sin offering.

12

But the goat on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat shall be presented alive before me, to make an atonementa with him and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness, given to Azâzêl; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

13

¶ The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Boothsa for seven days unto YHVH.

14

On the first day shall be for a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work therein.

15

Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH; on the eighth day ye shall have your solemn assemblies, and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto YHVH;

16

And it is a solemn assembly for all your generations forever; and thou shall do no servile work therein; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

17

Also, in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when thou hast gathered in the fruit of the land, thou shall keep a feast unto me for seven days; on the first day shall be a Sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a Sabbath.

18

And thou shall take thee on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and thou shall rejoice before me, YHVH, thy Elohim, seven days.

19

And thou shall keep it a feast unto me seven days in the year; it shall be a statute forever in your generations; thou shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

20

Thou shall dwell in a tent for seven days; all that are born into my Israel shall dwell in tents,

21

That your generations may know that I made my children, Israel, to dwell in tents when I brought thee out of the land of Egypt; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.

22

¶ And these are the feasts of my Sabbaths, which thou shall proclaim in your Solemn Assemblies at the harvest season, to offer an offering made by fire unto me;

23

It shall be a meat offering by fire, and a sacrifice, and drink offerings, and libations; each of these thou shall do, each on its designated day,

24

And these are in addition to the Seventh Day Sabbath, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which thou giveth unto me; I am YHVH, thy Elohim.
