A   And the Lorde spake vnto Moses saying: speake vnto the childr&ebar; of Israel, ∧ say vnto th&ebar;. These are the feastes of the Lorde which ye shall call holy feastes. Syxe dayes ye shall worke, and the seuenth is the Sabboth of reast an holy feast: so that ye maye doo no worke therin, for it is the Sabboth of the Lorde, wheresoeuer ye dwell. These are the feastes of the Lord which ye shal proclayme holy in their seasons. ^noteThe .xiiij. daye of the fyrst moneth at euen is the Lordes ^note Passeouer. And the .xv. daye of the same moneth is the feast of swete bred vnto the Lorde .vij. dayes ye must eate vnleuended bread. B   The fyrst day shalbe an holy feaste vnto you, so that ye maye do no laborious worke therin. But ye shall offer sacrifyces vnto the Lorde vij. dayes, and the .vij. daye also shalbe an holy feast, so that ye maye do no laborious worke therin.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses sayinge: speake vnto the chyldren of Israell and saye vnto them: when ye be come into the lande whych I geue vnto you ∧ repe doune youre haruest ye shall brynge a shefe of the05Q0213 fyrst frutes of your haruest vnto the preast, and he shal waue the shefe before the Lord to be accepted for you: and euen the morow after the Sabboth the preast shall waue it. And ye shal offer that day when he waueth þe; shefe, a lambe without blemysh of a yere old for a burntoffrynge vnto the Lorde: and the meatofferyng therof, two tenth deales of fyne flour mengled with oyle to be a sacrifice vnto the Lord of a swete sauour: ∧ the drynkoffryng therto, the fourth deale of an hyn of wine. C   And ye shal eate nether bread, nor parched corne, nor furmentye of new corne: vntyl the self same day that ye haue brought an offeryng vnto your God. And thys shalbe a lawe for euer vnto your chyldren after you, whersoeuer ye dwell.

And ye shal count from the morow after the Sabboth: euen from the daye that ye brought the shefe of the waueoffrynge seuen wekes complete: euen vnto the morow after the .vij. weke ye shall nombre .l. dayes. And then ye shal brynge a newe meatoffryng vnto the Lord. And ye shall brynge out of your habitacions two waue loues made of two tenthdeales of fyne floure leuended and baken, for fyrst frutes vnto the Lorde. And ye shall brynge wyth the bread seuen lambes without deformite of one yere of age, ∧ one yonge oxe ∧ two rammes, which shall serue for burntoffrynges vnto the Lorde, &wt; meatoffrynges ∧ drynkofferynges longing to the same, to be a sacrifyce of a swete sauour vnto the Lord.

And ye shall offer an he goote for a synne offering: and two lambes of one yere old for peace offrynges. And the preast shall waue th&ebar; wyth the bread of the fyrst frutes before the Lord, and wyth the two l&abar;bes. And they shalbe holy vnto the Lord, ∧ be the preastes. And ye shall make a proclamacion the same day that it be an holy feast vnto you, and ye shall do no laborious worke therin: D   And it shalbe a lawe for euer thorow out all youre habitacions vnto your chyldren after you.

^noteWhen ye repe doune your haruest, thou shalt not make cleane reddaunce of thy feld, nether shalt thou make any aftergatheryng of thy haruest: but shalt leue them vnto the poore and the straunger. I am the lord your God.

And the Lord spake vnto Moses sayinge: speake vnto the chyldren of Israel and saye. The fyrst daye of the seuenth moneth shalbe a reast of rembraunce vnto you, to blowe hornes in an holy feast it shalbe, and ye shall do no laboryous worke therin, and ye shall offer sacryfice vnto the Lord.

E   And the Lord spake vnto Moses sayinge: also the tenth day of the self seuenth moneth, is a day of an attonement, and shalbe on holy feast vnto you, and ye shal05Q0214 h&ubar;ble youre soules and offer sacrifyce vnto the Lorde. Moreouer ye shal do no worke the same day, for it is a daye of attonement to make an attonement for you before the Lord your god. For whatsoeuer soule it be that humbleth not hym selfe that daye, he shalbe destroyed from amonge hys people. And whatsoeuer soule do any maner worke that daye, the same I wyll destroye from among hys people. Se that ye do no maner worke therfore. And it shalbe a lawe for euer vnto youre generacyons after you in al youre dwellynges. A05Q0215 Sabboth of reste it shalbe vnto you and ye shall humble youre soules. The .ix. daye of the moneth at euen and so forth from euen to euen agayne, ye shall kepe your sabboth.

F   And the Lord spake vnto Moses saying: speake vnto the chyldren of Israel and saye: the .xv. daye of the same seu&ebar;th moneth shalbe the feast of tabernacles .vij. dayes vnto the Lord.

And ye shall dwell in boothes seu&ebar; dayes: eu&ebar; all that are Israelites borne, shall dwell in boothes, that youre chyldrene after you maye knowe how that I made the chyldren of Israell dwell in boothes, wh&ebar; I brought them out of the lande of Egypt: for I am the Lord your God.
