1 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: مَوَاسِمُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا تُنَادُونَ مَحَافِلَ مُقَدَّسَةً. هَذِهِ هِيَ مَوَاسِمِي:
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 سِتَّةَ أَيَّامٍ يُعْمَلُ عَمَلٌ، وَأَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلسَّابِعُ فَفِيهِ سَبْتُ عُطْلَةٍ مَحْفَلٌ مُقَدَّسٌ. عَمَلًا مَّا لَا تَعْمَلُوا. إِنَّهُ سَبْتٌ لِلرَّبِّ فِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ.
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 «هَذِهِ مَوَاسِمُ ٱلرَّبِّ، ٱلْمَحَافِلُ ٱلْمُقَدَّسَةُ ٱلَّتِي تُنَادُونَ بِهَا فِي أَوْقَاتِهَا:
4 “‘These are the set feasts of Yahweh, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.
5 فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ، فِي ٱلرَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ، بَيْنَ ٱلْعِشَاءَيْنِ فِصْحٌ لِلرَّبِّ.
5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Yahweh’s Passover.
6 وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلشَّهْرِ عِيدُ ٱلْفَطِيرِ لِلرَّبِّ. سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تَأْكُلُونَ فَطِيرًا.
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 فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ مَحْفَلٌ مُقَدَّسٌ. عَمَلًا مَّا مِنَ ٱلشُّغْلِ لَا تَعْمَلُوا.
7 In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.
8 وَسَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تُقَرِّبُونَ وَقُودًا لِلرَّبِّ. فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلسَّابِعِ يَكُونُ مَحْفَلٌ مُقَدَّسٌ. عَمَلًا مَّا مِنَ ٱلشُّغْلِ لَا تَعْمَلُوا».
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 وكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:
9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
10 «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَقُلْ لَهُمْ: مَتَى جِئْتُمْ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ ٱلَّتِي أَنَا أُعْطِيكُمْ وَحَصَدْتُمْ حَصِيدَهَا، تَأْتُونَ بِحُزْمَةِ أَوَّلِ حَصِيدِكُمْ إِلَى ٱلْكَاهِنِ.
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 فَيُرَدِّدُ ٱلْحُزْمَةَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ لِلرِّضَا عَنْكُمْ. فِي غَدِ ٱلسَّبْتِ يُرَدِّدُهَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ.
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 وَتَعْمَلُونَ يَوْمَ تَرْدِيدِكُمُ ٱلْحُزْمَةَ خَرُوفًا صَحِيحًا حَوْلِيًّا مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ.
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 وَتَقْدِمَتَهُ عُشْرَيْنِ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ مَلْتُوتٍ بِزَيْتٍ، وَقُودًا لِلرَّبِّ رَائِحَةَ سَرُورٍ، وَسَكِيبَهُ رُبْعَ ٱلْهِينِ مِنْ خَمْرٍ.
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 وَخُبْزًا وَفَرِيكًا وَسَوِيقًا لَا تَأْكُلُوا إِلَى هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ، إِلَى أَنْ تَأْتُوا بِقُرْبَانِ إِلَهِكُمْ، فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ.
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 «ثُمَّ تَحْسُبُونَ لَكُمْ مِنْ غَدِ ٱلسَّبْتِ مِنْ يَوْمِ إِتْيَانِكُمْ بِحُزْمَةِ ٱلتَّرْدِيدِ سَبْعَةَ أَسَابِيعَ تَكُونُ كَامِلَةً.
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 إِلَى غَدِ ٱلسَّبْتِ ٱلسَّابِعِ تَحْسُبُونَ خَمْسِينَ يَوْمًا، ثُمَّ تُقَرِّبُونَ تَقْدِمَةً جَدِيدَةً لِلرَّبِّ.
16 The next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Yahweh.
17 مِنْ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ تَأْتُونَ بِخُبْزِ تَرْدِيدٍ، رَغِيفَيْنِ عُشْرَيْنِ يَكُونَانِ مِنْ دَقِيقٍ، وَيُخْبَزَانِ خَمِيرًا بَاكُورَةً لِلرَّبِّ.
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 وَتُقَرِّبُونَ مَعَ ٱلْخُبْزِ سَبْعَةَ خِرَافٍ صَحِيحَةٍ حَوْلِيَّةٍ، وَثَوْرًا وَاحِدًا ٱبْنَ بَقَرٍ، وَكَبْشَيْنِ مُحْرَقَةً لِلرَّبِّ مَعَ تَقْدِمَتِهَا وَسَكِيبِهَا وَقُودَ رَائِحَةِ سَرُورٍ لِلرَّبِّ.
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 وَتَعْمَلُونَ تَيْسًا وَاحِدًا مِنَ ٱلْمَعْزِ ذَبِيحَةَ خَطِيَّةٍ، وَخَرُوفَيْنِ حَوْلِيَّيْنِ ذَبِيحَةَ سَلَامَةٍ.
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 فَيُرَدِّدُهَا ٱلْكَاهِنُ مَعَ خُبْزِ ٱلْبَاكُورَةِ تَرْدِيدًا أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ مَعَ ٱلْخَرُوفَيْنِ، فَتَكُونُ لِلْكَاهِنِ قُدْسًا لِلرَّبِّ.
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 وَتُنَادُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ مَحْفَلًا مُقَدَّسًا يَكُونُ لَكُمْ. عَمَلًا مَّا مِنَ ٱلشُّغْلِ لَا تَعْمَلُوا. فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً فِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ.
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 وَعِنْدَمَا تَحْصُدُونَ حَصِيدَ أَرْضِكُمْ، لَا تُكَمِّلْ زَوَايَا حَقْلِكَ فِي حَصَادِكَ، وَلُقَاطَ حَصِيدِكَ لَا تَلْتَقِطْ. لِلْمِسْكِينِ وَٱلْغَرِيبِ تَتْرُكُهُ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ».
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 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:
23 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
24 «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ، فِي أَوَّلِ ٱلشَّهْرِ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ عُطْلَةٌ، تَذْكَارُ هُتَافِ ٱلْبُوقِ، مَحْفَلٌ مُقَدَّسٌ.
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 عَمَلًا مَّا مِنَ ٱلشُّغْلِ لَا تَعْمَلُوا، لَكِنْ تُقَرِّبُونَ وَقُودًا لِلرَّبِّ».
25 You shall do no regular work. You shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh.’”
26 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:
26 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
27 «أَمَّا ٱلْعَاشِرُ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ، فَهُوَ يَوْمُ ٱلْكَفَّارَةِ. مَحْفَلًا مُقَدَّسًا يَكُونُ لَكُمْ. تُذَلِّلُونَ نُفُوسَكُمْ وَتُقَرِّبُونَ وَقُودًا لِلرَّبِّ.
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 عَمَلًا مَّا لَا تَعْمَلُوا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ، لِأَنَّهُ يَوْمُ كَفَّارَةٍ لِلتَّكْفِيرِ عَنْكُمْ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ.
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 إِنَّ كُلَّ نَفْسٍ لَا تَتَذَلَّلُ فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ تُقْطَعُ مِنْ شَعْبِهَا.
29 For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day shall be cut off from his people.
30 وَكُلَّ نَفْسٍ تَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا مَّا فِي هَذَا ٱلْيَوْمِ عَيْنِهِ أُبِيدُ تِلْكَ ٱلنَّفْسَ مِنْ شَعْبِهَا.
30 Whoever does any kind of work in that same day, I will destroy that person from among his people.
31 عَمَلًا مَّا لَا تَعْمَلُوا. فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ فِي جَمِيعِ مَسَاكِنِكُمْ.
31 You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 إِنَّهُ سَبْتُ عُطْلَةٍ لَكُمْ، فَتُذَلِّلُونَ نُفُوسَكُمْ. فِي تَاسِعِ ٱلشَّهْرِ عِنْدَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ. مِنَ ٱلْمَسَاءِ إِلَى ٱلْمَسَاءِ تَسْبِتُونَ سَبْتَكُمْ».
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 وَكَلَّمَ ٱلرَّبُّ مُوسَى قَائِلًا:
33 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
34 «كَلِّمْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ قَائِلًا: فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنْ هَذَا ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ عِيدُ ٱلْمَظَالِّ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ لِلرَّبِّ.
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 فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ مَحْفَلٌ مُقَدَّسٌ. عَمَلًا مَّا مِنَ ٱلشُّغْلِ لَا تَعْمَلُوا.
35 On the first day shall be a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.
36 سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ تُقَرِّبُونَ وَقُودًا لِلرَّبِّ. فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ يَكُونُ لَكُمْ مَحْفَلٌ مُقَدَّسٌ تُقَرِّبُونَ وَقُودًا لِلرَّبِّ. إِنَّهُ ٱعْتِكَافٌ. كُلُّ عَمَلِ شُغْلٍ لَا تَعْمَلُوا.
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 «هَذِهِ هِيَ مَوَاسِمُ ٱلرَّبِّ ٱلَّتِي فِيهَا تُنَادُونَ مَحَافِلَ مُقَدَّسَةً لِتَقْرِيبِ وَقُودٍ لِلرَّبِّ، مُحْرَقَةً وَتَقْدِمَةً وَذَبِيحَةً وَسَكِيبًا أَمْرَ ٱلْيَوْمِ بِيَوْمِهِ،
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 عَدَا سُبُوتِ ٱلرَّبِّ، وَعَدَا عَطَايَاكُمْ وَجَمِيعِ نُذُورِكُمْ، وَجَمِيعِ نَوَافِلِكُمُ ٱلَّتِي تُعْطُونَهَا لِلرَّبِّ.
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 أَمَّا ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنَ ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ فَفِيهِ، عِنْدَمَا تَجْمَعُونَ غَلَّةَ ٱلْأَرْضِ، تُعَيِّدُونَ عِيدًا لِلرَّبِّ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ عُطْلَةٌ وَفِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلثَّامِنِ عُطْلَةٌ.
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 وَتَأْخُذُونَ لِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فِي ٱلْيَوْمِ ٱلْأَوَّلِ ثَمَرَ أَشْجَارٍ بَهِجَةٍ وَسَعَفَ ٱلنَّخْلِ وَأَغْصَانَ أَشْجَارٍ غَبْيَاءَ وَصَفْصَافَ ٱلْوَادِي، وَتَفْرَحُونَ أَمَامَ ٱلرَّبِّ إِلَهِكُمْ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ.
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 تُعَيِّدُونَهُ عِيدًا لِلرَّبِّ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي ٱلسَّنَةِ فَرِيضَةً دَهْرِيَّةً فِي أَجْيَالِكُمْ. فِي ٱلشَّهْرِ ٱلسَّابِعِ تُعَيِّدُونَهُ.
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 فِي مَظَالَّ تَسْكُنُونَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ. كُلُّ ٱلْوَطَنِيِّينَ فِي إِسْرَائِيلَ يَسْكُنُونَ فِي ٱلْمَظَالِّ.
42 You shall dwell in temporary shelters for seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in temporary shelters,
43 لِكَيْ تَعْلَمَ أَجْيَالُكُمْ أَنِّي فِي مَظَالَّ أَسْكَنْتُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَّا أَخْرَجْتُهُمْ مِنْ أَرْضِ مِصْرَ. أَنَا ٱلرَّبُّ إِلَهُكُمْ».
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 فَأَخْبَرَ مُوسَى بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ بِمَوَاسِمِ ٱلرَّبِّ.
44 So Moses declared to the children of Israel the appointed feasts of Yahweh.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
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 …
