宗教节期　
　　上主吩咐摩西向以色列人民颁布有关宗教节期的条例；在节期内，你们要聚集敬拜上主。一个礼拜有六天可以工作，但是第七天是神圣的安息日，你们必须休息。这一天，不可做任何日常的工作，要聚集敬拜。无论你们住在哪里，安息日是属于上主的。你们要宣布下列日子为指定节日，敬拜上主。
　　逾越节和除酵节（民28·16-25）　
　　每年正月十四日，从黄昏开始就是上主的逾越节。正月的第十五日开始就是除酵节；七天里，你们不可吃有酵的饼。这节期的第一天，要聚集敬拜上主，不可做任何日常的工作。在这七天期间要天天向上主献火祭。第七天，要再聚集敬拜上主，但是不可做任何日常的工作。
　　进入上主所赐给你们的土地后，每逢收割，要拿最先收割的一捆谷物到祭司那里；他会把它当特别礼物献给上主，使你们蒙上主悦纳。祭司要在安息日的次日献这特别礼物。献谷物那一天，你们要献一只没有残缺的小公绵羊作烧化祭；同时要献两公斤调和着橄榄油的饼作素祭，把它烧献作馨香的礼物献给上主，也要献一公斤的奠酒。新收成的谷物，无论是生的、烘熟的，或烤成饼的，要等到向上主献祭物后才可以吃。你们的后代，无论住在哪里，要永远遵守这条例。
　　五旬收获节（民28·26-31）　
　　要从安息日的第二天，就是你们献谷物给上主的那一天计算，你们要算七个礼拜。到第五十天，就是第七个安息日的次日，要把新收成的谷物作素祭献给上主。每一家要带来两块饼，献给上主作特别的礼物。每一块饼要用两公斤细面粉加酵烤制，作为新收获的祭物献给上主。除了饼，你们要献七只一岁大的小绵羊，一头小公牛，两只公绵羊；这些祭牲都不可有残缺。这些祭牲要跟素祭和奠祭一起作烧化祭献给上主。祭物的香味是上主喜悦的。你们也要献一只公山羊作赎罪祭，两只一岁大的公绵羊作平安祭。祭司要把饼和两只公绵羊献给上主作特别礼物，归给祭司们；这些祭物是圣的。那天，你们不可做任何日常的工作，要聚集敬拜上主。你们的后代，无论住在哪里，要永远遵守这条例。
　　收割的时候，你们不可割田边的谷物，也不可回头捡掉落的穗子；要把这些留给穷人和外侨。上主是你们的上帝。
　　新年（民29·1-6）　
　　你们每年要守七月初一日为特别假日；要吹号作记念，大家聚集敬拜上主。不可做任何日常的工作；要向上主献火祭。
　　赎罪日（民29·7-11）　
　　每年七月初十日是赎罪日。那一天，你们要禁食，要聚集敬拜上主，向他献火祭。那天，你们不可做任何日常的工作，因为是赎罪日，要在上主──你们的上帝面前行赎罪礼。无论谁，若在那天吃东西就要从上帝的子民中开除。无论谁，若在那天工作，上主要亲自从他子民中除灭他。你们的后代，无论住在哪里，要永远遵守这条例。从七月初九日的黄昏到第二天黄昏，你们要守这一天作特别安息日，并且在这段时间内禁食。
　　住棚节（民29·12-40）　
　　上主吩咐摩西把以下的条例告诉以色列人民∶七月十五日是住棚节，要连续七天守这节。住棚节的头一天，你们要聚集敬拜上主，不可做任何日常的工作。在七日的节期中，你们要天天向上主献火祭；第八天，要再聚集敬拜上主，向他献火祭。这一天是敬拜上主的日子，你们不可做任何日常的工作。
　　上面所列的日子是宗教节期。你们要聚集敬拜上主，天天按照条例向他献火祭、烧化祭、素祭、牲祭，和奠祭。除了定期的安息日，你们还要守这些节期；除了例行的祭物、还愿祭，和自愿祭，还要向上主献上这些祭物。
　　收割完成后，你们要从七月十五日开始守这节期七天。第一天是特别安息日。那一天，你们要拿果树所结最好的果子、棕树枝、茂密的树枝和柳枝在上主──你们的上帝面前欢欣庆祝。你们要庆祝这节期七天；要世世代代遵守这条例。所有以色列人都要在棚子里住七天，好使后代知道，上主领以色列人出埃及后曾经使他们住在简陋的棚子里。他是上主──你们的上帝。
　　这样，摩西向以色列人颁布了上主指定的宗教节期条例。

　　The Religious Festivals　
　　The LORD gave Moses the following regulations for the religious festivals, when the people of Israel are to gather for worship. You have six days in which to do your work, but remember that the seventh day, the Sabbath, is a day of rest. On that day do not work, but gather for worship. The Sabbath belongs to the LORD, no matter where you live. [注解]　Proclaim the following festivals at the appointed times.
　　Passover and Unleavened Bread
(Numbers 28.16-25)　
　　The Passover, celebrated to honor the LORD, begins at sunset on the fourteenth day of the first month. [注解]　On the fifteenth day the Festival of Unleavened Bread begins, and for seven days you must not eat any bread made with yeast. [注解]　On the first of these days you shall gather for worship and do none of your daily work. Offer your food offerings to the LORD for seven days. On the seventh day you shall again gather for worship, but you shall do none of your daily work.
　　When you come into the land that the LORD is giving you and you harvest your grain, take the first sheaf to the priest. He shall present it as a special offering to the LORD, so that you may be accepted. The priest shall present it the day after the Sabbath. On the day you present the offering of grain, also sacrifice as a burnt offering a one-year-old male lamb that has no defects. With it you shall present four pounds of flour mixed with olive oil as a food offering. The odor of this offering is pleasing to the LORD. You shall also present with it an offering of one quart of wine. Do not eat any of the new grain, whether raw, roasted, or baked into bread, until you have brought this offering to God. This regulation is to be observed by all your descendants for all time to come.
　　The Harvest Festival
(Numbers 28.26-31)　
　　Count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath on which you bring your sheaf of grain to present to the LORD. [注解]　On the fiftieth day, the day after the seventh Sabbath, present to the LORD another new offering of grain. Each family is to bring two loaves of bread and present them to the LORD as a special gift. Each loaf shall be made of four pounds of flour baked with yeast and shall be presented to the LORD as an offering of the first grain to be harvested. And with the bread the community is to present seven one-year-old lambs, one bull, and two rams, none of which may have any defects. They shall be offered as a burnt offering to the LORD, along with a grain offering and a wine offering. The odor of this offering is pleasing to the LORD. Also offer one male goat as a sin offering and two one-year-old male lambs as a fellowship offering. The priest shall present the bread with the two lambs as a special gift to the LORD for the priests. These offerings are holy. On that day do none of your daily work, but gather for worship. Your descendants are to observe this regulation for all time to come, no matter where they live.
　　When you harvest your fields, do not cut the grain at the edges of the fields, and do not go back to cut the heads of grain that were left; leave them for poor people and foreigners. The LORD is your God.[注解]　
　　The New Year Festival
(Numbers 29.1-6)　
　　On the first day of the seventh month observe a special day of rest, and come together for worship when the trumpets sound. Present a food offering to the LORD and do none of your daily work.
　　The Day of Atonement
(Numbers 29.7-11)　
　　The tenth day of the seventh month is the day when the annual ritual is to be performed to take away the sins of the people. On that day do not eat anything at all; come together for worship, and present a food offering to the LORD. [注解]　Do no work on that day, because it is the day for performing the ritual to take away sin. Any who eat anything on that day will no longer be considered God's people. And if any do any work on that day, the LORD himself will put them to death. This regulation applies to all your descendants, no matter where they live. From sunset on the ninth day of the month to sunset on the tenth observe this day as a special day of rest, during which nothing may be eaten.
　　The Festival of Shelters
(Numbers 29.12-40)　
　　The Festival of Shelters begins on the fifteenth day of the seventh month and continues for seven days. [注解]　On the first of these days come together for worship and do none of your daily work. Each day for seven days you shall present a food offering. On the eighth day come together again for worship and present a food offering. It is a day for worship, and you shall do no work.
　　(These are the religious festivals on which you honor the LORD by gathering together for worship and presenting food offerings, burnt offerings, grain offerings, sacrifices, and wine offerings, as required day by day. These festivals are in addition to the regular Sabbaths, and these offerings are in addition to your regular gifts, your offerings as fulfillment of vows, and your freewill offerings that you give to the LORD.)
　　When you have harvested your fields, celebrate this festival for seven days, beginning on the fifteenth day of the seventh month. The first day shall be a special day of rest. On that day take some of the best fruit from your trees, take palm branches and limbs from leafy trees, and begin a religious festival to honor the LORD your God. Celebrate it for seven days. This regulation is to be kept by your descendants for all time to come. All the people of Israel shall live in shelters for seven days, so that your descendants may know that the LORD made the people of Israel live in simple shelters when he led them out of Egypt. He is the LORD your God.
　　So in this way Moses gave the people of Israel the regulations for observing the religious festivals to honor the LORD.
