Leviticus 23 [+/-]Leviticus 23
[23:1]The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [2]"Speak to the
people of Israel and say to them, These are the appointed
feasts of the LORD that you shall proclaim as holy
convocations; they are my appointed feasts.
[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 work. It is a Sabbath to the LORD in all your
dwelling places.
[4]"These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, the holy
convocations, which you shall proclaim at the time
appointed for them. [5]In the first month, on the
fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is the LORD's
Passover. [6]And on the fifteenth day of the same month is
the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; for seven days
you shall eat unleavened bread. [7]On the first day you
shall have a holy convocation; you shall not do any
ordinary work. [8]But you shall present a food offering to
the LORD for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy
convocation; you shall not do any ordinary work."
[9]And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [10]"Speak to
the people of Israel and say to them, When you come into
the land that I give you and reap its harvest, you shall
bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the
priest, [11]and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, so
that you may be accepted. On the day after the Sabbath the
priest shall wave it. [12]And on the day when you wave the
sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb a year old without
blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD. [13]And the grain
offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine
flour mixed with oil, a food offering to the LORD with a
pleasing aroma, and the drink offering with it shall be of
wine, a fourth of a hin. [14]And you shall eat neither
bread nor grain parched or fresh until this same day, until
you have brought the offering of your God: it is a statute
forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
[15]"You shall count seven full weeks from the day after
the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the
wave offering. [16]You shall count fifty days to the day
after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain
offering of new grain to the LORD. [17]You shall bring from
your dwelling places two loaves of bread to be waved, made
of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour, and
they shall be baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the
LORD. [18]And you shall present with the bread seven lambs
a year old without blemish, and one bull from the herd and
two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the LORD, with
their grain offering and their drink offerings, a food
offering with a pleasing aroma to the LORD. [19]And you
shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male
lambs a year old as a sacrifice of peace offerings. [20]And
the priest shall wave them with the bread of the
firstfruits as a wave offering before the LORD, with the
two lambs. They shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
[21]And you shall make proclamation on the same day. You
shall hold a holy convocation. You shall not do any
ordinary work. It is a statute forever in all your dwelling
places throughout your generations.
[22]"And when you reap the harvest of your land, you
shall not reap your field right up to its edge, nor shall
you gather the gleanings after your harvest. You shall
leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am the
LORD your God."
[23]And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [24]"Speak to
the people of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the
first day of the month, you shall observe a day of solemn
rest, a memorial proclaimed with blast of trumpets, a holy
convocation. [25]You shall not do any ordinary work, and
you shall present a food offering to the LORD."
[26]And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [27]"Now on the
tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It
shall be for you a time of holy convocation, and you shall
afflict yourselves and present a food offering to the LORD.
[28]And you shall not do any work on that very day, for it
is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the
LORD your God. [29]For whoever is not afflicted on that
very day shall be cut off from his people. [30]And whoever
does any work on that very day, that person I will destroy
from among his people. [31]You shall not do any work. It is
a statute forever throughout your generations in all your
dwelling places. [32]It shall be to you a Sabbath of solemn
rest, and you shall afflict yourselves. On the ninth day of
the month beginning at evening, from evening to evening
shall you keep your Sabbath."
[33]And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, [34]"Speak to
the people of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this
seventh month and for seven days is the Feast of Booths to
the LORD. [35]On the first day shall be a holy convocation;
you shall not do any ordinary work. [36]For seven days you
shall present food offerings to the LORD. On the eighth day
you shall hold a holy convocation and present a food
offering to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you shall
not do any ordinary work.
[37]"These are the appointed feasts of the LORD, which
you shall proclaim as times of holy convocation, for
presenting to the LORD food offerings, burnt offerings and
grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on
its proper day, [38]besides the LORD's Sabbaths and besides
your gifts and besides all your vow offerings and besides
all your freewill offerings, which you give to the LORD.
[39]"On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you
have gathered in the produce of the land, you shall
celebrate the feast of the LORD 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 on the first day the
fruit of splendid trees, branches of palm trees and boughs
of leafy trees and willows of the brook, and you shall
rejoice before the LORD your God seven days. [41]You shall
celebrate it as a feast to the LORD for seven days in the
year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations;
you shall celebrate it in the seventh month. [42]You shall
dwell in booths for seven days. All native Israelites shall
dwell in booths, [43]that your generations may know that I
made the people of Israel dwell in booths when I brought
them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God."
[44]Thus Moses declared to the people of Israel the
appointed feasts of the LORD. (ESV)
Murray Tilles of Light of Messiah Ministries in metro Atlanta visited us on this eve of Yom Kappur, to share with us more about the holidays that Jesus celebrated, being a Jew. This message really brings light the picture of Christ seen in the 9 Jewish Festivals, and also with an encouraging message to remember to continue reaching out to God’s chosen people.

“Why did God command the children of Israel to blow the shofar (the ram’s horn)? What is the scapegoat all about in Yom Kippur? Why did God command the Israelites to live in booths for seven days at the Feast of Tabernacles? What does it all mean to us as believers in Jesus? Learn how God was revealing the message of salvation through these beautiful holidays from the book of Leviticus. Yes, Leviticus can be interesting if you understand it.
The “Jesus in the Jewish Festivals” service will reveal God’s purpose in commanding Israel to celebrate the Feasts of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement and the Feast of Tabernacles. You will see not only the history of these beautiful festivals and how Jesus celebrated each of these festivals. You will also see how God’s plan for the world to be saved through Jesus is foreshadowed in each of these holidays.”
