The Feasts of the Lord

Leviticus 23

The Lord instructs Moses to declare to Israel the sabbath and the appointed feasts to be kept as holy convocations, including the passover and unleavened bread, the offering of firstfruits, the feast of weeks, the trumpets and day of atonement in the seventh month, and the feast of tabernacles. Each feast is given its own day, offerings, and rest from work, and Moses recounts them all to the people.
