1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
1 Y HABLÓ Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.
2 Habla á los hijos de Israel, y diles: Las solemnidades de Jehová, las cuales proclamaréis santas convocaciones, aquestas serán mis solemnidades.
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘The set feasts of Yahweh, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
3 Six days shall ye do work: the seventh day, because it is the rest of the sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day: it is the sabbath of the Lord in all your habitations.
3 Seis días se trabajará, y el séptimo día sábado de reposo será, convocación santa: ninguna obra haréis; sábado es de Jehová en todas vuestras habitaciones.
3 “‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath to Yahweh in all your dwellings.
4 These also are the holy days of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their seasons.
4 Estas son las solemnidades de Jehová, las convocaciones santas, á las cuales convocaréis en sus tiempos.
4 “‘These are the set feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.
5 The first month, the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is the phase of the Lord:
5 En el mes primero, á los catorce del mes, entre las dos tardes, pascua es de Jehová.
5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Yahweh’s Passover.
6 And the fifteenth day of the same month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
6 Y á los quince días de este mes es la solemnidad de los ázimos á Jehová: siete días comeréis ázimos.
6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to Yahweh. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.
7 The first day shall be most solemn unto you, and holy: you shall do no servile work therein:
7 El primer día tendréis santa convocación: ninguna obra servil haréis.
7 In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.
8 But you shall offer sacrifice in fire to the Lord seven days. And the seventh day shall be more solemn, and more holy: and you shall do no servile work therein.
8 Y ofreceréis á Jehová siete días ofrenda encendida: el séptimo día será santa convocación; ninguna obra servil haréis.
8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.’”
9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
9 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: When you shall have entered into the land which I will give you, and shall reap your corn, you shall bring sheaves of ears, the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest:
10 Habla á los hijos de Israel, y diles: Cuando hubiereis entrado en la tierra que yo os doy, y segareis su mies, traeréis al sacerdote un omer por primicia de los primeros frutos de vuestra siega;
10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.
11 Who shall lift up the shed before the Lord, the next day after the sabbath, that it may be acceptable for you, and shall sanctify it.
11 El cual mecerá el omer delante de Jehová, para que seáis aceptos: el siguiente día del sábado lo mecerá el sacerdote.
11 He shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a lamb without blemish of the first year shall be killed for a holocaust of the Lord.
12 Y el día que ofrezcáis el omer, ofreceréis un cordero de un año, sin defecto, en holocausto á Jehová.
12 On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt offering to Yahweh.
13 And the libations shall be offered with it, two tenths of hour tempered with oil for a burnt offering of the Lord, and a most sweet odour: libations also of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
13 Y su presente será dos décimas de flor de harina amasada con aceite, ofrenda encendida á Jehová en olor suavísimo; y su libación de vino, la cuarta parte de un hin.
13 The meal offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 You shall not eat either bread, or parched corn, or frumenty of the harvest, until the day that you shall offer thereof to your God. It is a precept for ever throughout your generations, and all your dwellings.
14 Y no comeréis pan, ni grano tostado, ni espiga fresca, hasta este mismo día, hasta que hayáis ofrecido la ofrenda de vuestro Dios; estatuto perpetuo es por vuestras edades en todas vuestras habitaciones.
14 You must not eat bread, or roasted grain, or fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 You shall count therefore from the morrow after the sabbath, wherein you offered the sheaf of the firstfruits, seven full weeks.
15 Y os habéis de contar desde el siguiente día del sábado, desde el día en que ofrecisteis el omer de la ofrenda mecida; siete semanas cumplidas serán:
15 “‘You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed.
16 Even unto the marrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say, fifty days, and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord.
16 Hasta el siguiente día del sábado séptimo contaréis cincuenta días; entonces ofreceréis nuevo presente á Jehová.
16 The next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Yahweh.
17 Out of all your dwellings, two leaves of the firstfruits, of two tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of the Lord.
17 De vuestras habitaciones traeréis dos panes para ofrenda mecida, que serán de dos décimas de flor de harina, cocidos con levadura, por primicias á Jehová.
17 You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to Yahweh.
18 And you shall offer with the leaves seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and two rams, and they shall be for a holocaust with their libations far a most sweet odour to the Lord.
18 Y ofreceréis con el pan siete corderos de un año sin defecto, y un becerro de la vacada y dos carneros: serán holocausto á Jehová, con su presente y sus libaciones; ofrenda encendida de suave olor á Jehová.
18 You shall present with the bread seven lambs without defect a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yahweh.
19 You shall offer also a buck goat for sin, and two lambs of the first year for sacrifices of peace offerings.
19 Ofreceréis además un macho de cabrío por expiación; y dos corderos de un año en sacrificio de paces.
19 You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
20 And when the priest hath lifted them up with the leaves of the firstfruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use.
20 Y el sacerdote los mecerá en ofrenda agitada delante de Jehová, con el pan de las primicias, y los dos corderos: serán cosa sagrada de Jehová para el sacerdote.
20 The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before Yahweh, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Yahweh for the priest.
21 And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy. You shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwellings and generations.
21 Y convocaréis en este mismo día; os será santa convocación: ninguna obra servil haréis: estatuto perpetuo en todas vuestras habitaciones por vuestras edades.
21 You shall make proclamation on the same day that there shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall do no regular work. This is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
22 And when you reap the corn of your land, you shall not cut it to the very ground: neither shall you gather the ears that remain; but you shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers. I am the Lord your God.
22 Y cuando segareis la mies de vuestra tierra, no acabarás de segar el rincón de tu haza, ni espigarás tu siega; para el pobre, y para el extranjero la dejarás: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
22 “‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not wholly reap into the corners of your field. You must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.’”
23 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
23 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Say to the children of Israel: The seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall keep a sabbath, a memorial, with she sound of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.
24 Habla á los hijos de Israel, y diles: En el mes séptimo, al primero del mes tendréis sábado, una conmemoración al son de trompetas, y una santa convocación.
24 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, there shall be a solemn rest for you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
25 You shall do no servile work therein, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
25 Ninguna obra servil haréis; y ofreceréis ofrenda encendida á Jehová.
25 You shall do no regular work. You shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.’”
26 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
26 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
26 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
27 Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement, it shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy: and you shall afflict your souls on that day, and shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
27 Empero á los diez de este mes séptimo será el día de las expiaciones: tendréis santa convocación, y afligiréis vuestras almas, y ofreceréis ofrenda encendida á Jehová.
27 “However on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement. It shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall afflict yourselves and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
28 You shall do no servile work in the time of this day: because it is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto you.
28 Ninguna obra haréis en este mismo día; porque es día de expiaciones, para reconciliaros delante de Jehová vuestro Dios.
28 You shall do no kind of work in that same day, for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God.
29 Every soul that is not afflicted on this day, shall perish from among his people:
29 Porque toda persona que no se afligiere en este mismo día, será cortada de sus pueblos.
29 For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day shall be cut off from his people.
30 And every soul that shall do any work, the same will I destroy from among his people.
30 Y cualquiera persona que hiciere obra alguna en este mismo día, yo destruiré la tal persona de entre su pueblo.
30 Whoever does any kind of work in that same day, I will destroy that person from among his people.
31 You shall do no work therefore on that day: it shall be an everlasting ordinance unto you in all your generations, and dwellings.
31 Ninguna obra haréis: estatuto perpetuo es por vuestras edades en todas vuestras habitaciones.
31 You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It is a sabbath of rest, and you shell afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month: from evening until evening you shall celebrate your sabbaths.
32 Sábado de reposo será á vosotros, y afligiréis vuestras almas, comenzando á los nueve del mes en la tarde: de tarde á tarde holgaréis vuestro sábado.
32 It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”
33 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
33 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:
33 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
34 Say to the children of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this same seventh month, shall be kept the feast of tabernacles seven days to the Lord.
34 Habla á los hijos de Israel, y diles: A los quince días de este mes séptimo será la solemnidad de las cabañas á Jehová por siete días.
34 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths for seven days to Yahweh.
35 The first day shall be called most solemn and most holy: you shall do no servile work therein. And seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord.
35 El primer día habrá santa convocación: ninguna obra servil haréis.
35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.
36 The eighth day also shall be most solemn and most holy, and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord: for it is the day of assembly and congregation: you shall do no servile work therein.
36 Siete días ofreceréis ofrenda encendida á Jehová: el octavo día tendréis santa convocación, y ofreceréis ofrenda encendida á Jehová: es fiesta: ninguna obra servil haréis.
36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you. You shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular work.
37 These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most solemn and most holy, and shall offer on them oblations to the Lord, holocausts and libations according to the rite of every day,
37 Estas son las solemnidades de Jehová, á las que convocaréis santas reuniones, para ofrecer ofrenda encendida á Jehová, holocausto y presente, sacrificio y libaciones, cada cosa en su tiempo:
37 “‘These are the appointed feasts of Yahweh which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering, a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day—
38 Besides the sabbaths of the Lord, and your gifts, and those things that you offer by vow, or which you shall give to the Lord voluntarily.
38 Además de los sábados de Jehová y además de vuestros dones, y á más de todos vuestros votos, y además de todas vuestras ofrendas voluntarias, que daréis á Jehová.
38 in addition to the Sabbaths of Yahweh, and in addition to your gifts, and in addition to all your vows, and in addition to all your free will offerings, which you give to Yahweh.
39 So from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you shall have gathered in all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord seven days: on the first day and the eighth shall be a sabbath, that is a day of rest.
39 Empero á los quince del mes séptimo, cuando hubiereis allegado el fruto de la tierra, haréis fiesta á Jehová por siete días: el primer día será sábado; sábado será también el octavo día.
39 “‘So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the feast of Yahweh seven days. On the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.
40 And you shall take to you on the first day the fruits of the fairest tree, and branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and you shall rejoice before the Lord your God.
40 Y tomaréis el primer día gajos con fruto de árbol hermoso, ramos de palmas, y ramas de árboles espesos, y sauces de los arroyos; y os regocijaréis delante de Jehová vuestro Dios por siete días.
40 You shall take on the first day the fruit of majestic trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God seven days.
41 And you shall keep the solemnity thereof seven days in the year. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh month shall you celebrate this feast.
41 Y le haréis fiesta á Jehová por siete días cada un año; será estatuto perpetuo por vuestras edades; en el mes séptimo la haréis.
41 You shall keep it as a feast to Yahweh seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations. You shall keep it in the seventh month.
42 And you shall dwell in bowers seven days: every one that is of the race of Israel, shall dwell in tabernacles:
42 En cabañas habitaréis siete días: todo natural de Israel habitará en cabañas;
42 You shall dwell in temporary shelters for seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in temporary shelters,
43 That your posterity may know, that I made the children of Israel to dwell in tabernacles, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
43 Para que sepan vuestros descendientes que en cabañas hice yo habitar á los hijos de Israel, cuando los saqué de la tierra de Egipto: Yo Jehová vuestro Dios.
43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in temporary shelters when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.’”
44 And Moses spoke concerning the feasts of the Lord to the children of Israel.
44 Así habló Moisés á los hijos de Israel sobre las solemnidades de Jehová.
44 So Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of Yahweh.

How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
In fact, brethren, it is of this that God admonishes us, when He commends the Sabbath to our notice: "Thou shalt do no servile work." These are God's words when commending the Sabbath, "Thou shalt do no servile work." Now ask the former lessons, what is meant by servile work; and listen to the Lord: "Every one that committeth sin …
