Isaiah 1:13

Linguistic Bible Translation from Source Texts

Do not bring any more meaningless offerings; your incense is detestable to Me. New Moons, Sabbaths, and the calling of assemblies—I cannot endure iniquity combined with solemn assembly.

You are not to do any work; it is a sabbath to the Lord in all your dwellings. 4 These are the Lord's appointed festivals, the holy assemblies, which you must proclaim at their appointed times: 5 The Lord's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. 6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to the Lord. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day, hold a holy assembly; you must not do any regular work. 8 For seven days you are to present a fire offering to the Lord. On the seventh day, hold a holy assembly; you must not do any regular work. 9 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 10 Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land that I am giving you and you harvest its crops, you must bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest. 11 The priest will wave the sheaf before the Lord to be accepted on your behalf; he is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath. 12 On the day you wave the sheaf, you are to offer a year-old lamb without defect as a burnt offering to the Lord. 13 Together with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with oil as a fire offering to the Lord—a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter of a hin of wine. 14 You must not eat bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until the very day you bring this offering to your God. This is a perpetual statute for your generations in all your dwellings. 15 You shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, seven full weeks shall be counted. 16 Until the day after the seventh Sabbath, you shall count fifty days; then you shall present a new grain offering to the Lord. 17 Bring from your dwellings two loaves of bread as a wave offering, made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour and baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the Lord. 18 Along with the bread, present seven unblemished lambs a year old, one young bull, and two rams as burnt offerings to the Lord, along with their grain offerings and drink offerings—an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 19 You shall also prepare one male goat as a sin offering and two year-old male lambs as a fellowship offering. 20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the Lord, along with the two lambs; they are holy to the Lord and assigned to the priest. 21 On that same day you shall proclaim a sacred assembly, and you must not do any regular work. This shall be a perpetual statute for all your generations in all your dwellings. 22 When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely harvest the corners of your field, nor gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am the Lord your God. 23 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 24 Speak to the Israelites and tell them: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall hold a day of rest, a memorial with trumpet blasts, a sacred assembly. 25 You must not do any regular work, and you shall present a fire offering to the Lord. 26 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 27 However, on the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You shall hold a sacred assembly, humble yourselves, and present a fire offering to the Lord. 28 You must not do any work on that very day, because it is a Day of Atonement to make atonement for you before the Lord your God. 29 Anyone who does not humble themselves on this very day will be cut off from their people. 30 I will destroy anyone among you who does any work on that day. 31 You must not do any work. This is a perpetual statute for your generations in all your dwellings. 32 It shall be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall humble yourselves. It begins on the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening you shall observe your Sabbath. 33 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 34 Speak to the Israelites and say: On the fifteenth day of this seventh month the Festival of Booths to the Lord begins, and it shall last for seven days. 35 On the first day there shall be a sacred assembly. You must not do any regular work. 36 For seven days you are to present fire offerings to the Lord. On the eighth day you shall hold a sacred assembly and present a fire offering to the Lord. It is a solemn assembly; you must not do any regular work. 37 These are the appointed festivals of the Lord that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting fire offerings to the Lord—burnt offerings, grain offerings, sacrifices, and drink offerings, each on its designated day— 38 in addition to the Lord's Sabbaths, your gifts, all your vow offerings, and all your freewill offerings you give to the Lord. 39 However, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you gather in the produce of the land, you must celebrate the Lord's Festival for seven days. The first day shall be a day of rest, and the eighth day shall also be a day of rest. 40 On the first day, you shall take for yourselves the fruit of splendid trees, palm branches, leafy tree boughs, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days. 41 You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord for seven days each year. This is a perpetual statute for your generations; you shall observe it in the seventh month. 42 You shall live in booths for seven days. Every native-born Israelite is to dwell in booths, 43 so that your generations may know that I made the Israelites dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God. 44 So Moses declared to the Israelites the appointed festivals of the Lord.

  • Deut 16:1-9 : 1 Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, for it was in the month of Abib that the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt by night. 2 You shall sacrifice the Passover offering to the Lord your God, from your flock and herd, in the place where the Lord chooses to place His name. 3 Do not eat leavened bread with it. For seven days, eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left Egypt in haste. This is so that you may remember the day you came out of Egypt all the days of your life. 4 No leaven is to be seen in your territory for seven days, nor is any of the meat from the sacrifice eaten in the evening of the first day to remain overnight until morning. 5 You must not sacrifice the Passover offering in any of the towns that the Lord your God is giving you. 6 Only at the place the Lord your God chooses as His dwelling for His name shall you sacrifice the Passover offering, in the evening, at sunset, at the time you left Egypt. 7 Roast it and eat it in the place the Lord your God chooses. Then in the morning, return to your tents. 8 For six days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord your God. You must not do any work. 9 Count seven weeks from the time you begin to harvest the grain with the sickle. 10 Celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you. 11 Rejoice before the Lord your God—you, your son and daughter, your male and female servants, the Levite in your towns, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow living among you, in the place the Lord your God chooses to establish His name. 12 Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these decrees. 13 Celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce from your threshing floor and winepress. 14 Be joyful at your festival—you, your son and daughter, your male and female servants, the Levite, the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widow who live in your towns. 15 For seven days celebrate the festival to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete. 16 Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord your God at the place He will choose: during the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Tabernacles. No one is to appear before the Lord empty-handed. 17 Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you. 18 Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town the Lord your God is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. 19 Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. 20 Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land the Lord your God is giving you. 21 You shall not plant for yourself an Asherah pole of any tree beside the altar of the Lord your God that you will set up for yourself. 22 And you shall not set up for yourself a sacred pillar, which the Lord your God hates.

This is the monthly burnt offering to be made at each new moon throughout the year. 15 In addition to the regular burnt offering with its drink offering, one male goat is to be presented to the LORD as a sin offering. 16 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, is the Passover to the LORD. 17 On the fifteenth day of this month there is to be a festival.

They are to be offered in addition to the regular burnt offering and its drink offering. 25 On the seventh day, you shall have a sacred assembly. You must not do any regular work. 26 On the day of firstfruits, when you bring a new grain offering to the LORD during the Feast of Weeks, hold a sacred assembly.
