Bible in Basic English

26

And the Lord said to Moses,

27

The tenth day of this seventh month is the day for the taking away of sin; let it be a holy day of worship; you are to keep from pleasure, and give to the Lord an offering made by fire.

28

And on that day you may do no sort of work, for it is a day of taking away sin, to make you clean before the Lord your God.

29

For any person, whoever he may be, who takes his pleasure on that day will be cut off from his people.

30

And if any person, whoever he may be, on that day does any sort of work, I will send destruction on him from among his people.

31

You may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your generations wherever you may be living.

32

Let this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all pleasure; on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening, let this Sabbath be kept.

33

And the Lord said to Moses,

34

Say to the children of Israel, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month let the feast of tents be kept to the Lord for seven days.

35

On the first day there will be a holy meeting: do no field-work.

36

Every day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord; and on the eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering made by fire to the Lord; this is a special holy day: you may do no field-work on that day.

37

These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, to be kept by you as holy days of worship, for making an offering by fire to the Lord; a burned offering, a meal offering, an offering of beasts, and drink offerings; every one on its special day;

38

In addition to the Sabbaths of the Lord, and in addition to the things you give and the oaths you make and the free offerings to the Lord.

39

But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have got in all the fruits of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord for seven days: the first day will be a Sabbath, and the eighth day the same.

40

On the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the Lord for seven days.

41

And let this feast be kept before the Lord for seven days in the year: it is a rule for ever from generation to generation; in the seventh month let it be kept.

42

For seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places:

43

So that future generations may keep in mind how I gave the children of Israel tents as their living-places when I took them out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

44

And Moses made clear to the children of Israel the orders about the fixed feasts of the Lord.
