23:1 耶和华对摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:2 你晓谕以色列人说，耶和华的节期，你们要宣告为圣会的节期。
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.
23:3 六日要作工，第七日是圣安息日，当有圣会，你们什么工都不可作。这是在你们一切的住处向耶和华守的安息日。
Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.
23:4 耶和华的节期，就是你们到了日期要宣告为圣会的，乃是这些。
These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons.
23:5 正月十四日，黄昏的时候，是耶和华的逾越节。
In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD’s passover.
23:6 这月十五日是向耶和华守的无酵节，你们要吃无酵饼七日。
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread.
23:7 第一日当有圣会，什么劳碌的工都不可作。
In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
23:8 要将火祭献给耶和华七日。第七日是圣会，什么劳碌的工都不可作。
But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
23:9 耶和华对摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:10 你晓谕以色列人说，你们到了我赐给你们的地，收割庄稼的时候，要将初熟的庄稼一捆带给祭司。
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
23:11 他要把这一捆在耶和华面前摇一摇，使你们得蒙悦纳。祭司要在安息日的次日把这捆摇一摇。
And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
23:12 摇这捆的日子，你们要把一岁没有残疾的公绵羊贯献给耶和华为燔祭。
And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
23:13 同献的素祭，就是调油的细面伊法十分之二，作为馨香的火祭，献给耶和华。同献的奠祭，要酒一欣四分之一。
And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
23:14 无论是饼，是烘的子粒，是新穗子，你们都不可吃，直等到把你们献给神的供物带来的那一天才可以吃。这在你们一切的住处作为世世代代永远的定例。
And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23:15 你们要从安息日的次日，献禾捆为摇祭的那日算起，要满了七个安息日。
And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:
23:16 到第七个安息日的次日，共计五十天，又要将新素祭献给耶和华。
Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the LORD.
23:17 要从你们的住处取出细面伊法十分之二，加酵，烤成两个摇祭的饼，当作初熟之物献给耶和华。
Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto the LORD.
23:18 又要将一岁，没有残疾的羊羔七只，公牛犊一只，公绵羊两只，和饼一同奉上。这些与同献的素祭和奠祭要作为燔祭献给耶和华，就是作馨香的火祭献给耶和华。
And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
23:19 你们要献一只公山羊为赎罪祭，两只一岁的公绵羊羔为平安祭。
Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
23:20 祭司要把这些和初熟麦子作的饼一同作摇祭，在耶和华面前摇一摇，这是献与耶和华为圣物归给祭司的。
And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
23:21 当这日，你们要宣告圣会，什么劳碌的工都不可作。这在你们一切的住处作为世世代代永远的定例。
And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
23:22 在你们的地收割庄稼，不可割尽田角，也不可拾取所遗落的，要留给穷人和寄居的。我是耶和华你们的神。
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
23:23 耶和华对摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:24 你晓谕以色列人说，七月初一，你们要守为圣安息日，要吹角作纪念，当有圣会。
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
23:25 什么劳碌的工都不可作，要将火祭献给耶和华。
Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
23:26 耶和华晓谕摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:27 七月初十是赎罪日，你们要守为圣会，并要刻苦己心，也要将火祭献给耶和华。
Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
23:28 当这日，什么工都不可作，因为是赎罪日，要在耶和华你们的神面前赎罪。
And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
23:29 当这日，凡不刻苦己心的，必从民中剪除。
For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
23:30 凡这日作什么工的，我必将他从民中除灭。
And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
23:31 你们什么工都不可作。这在你们一切的住处作为世世代代永远的定例。
Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
23:32 你们要守这日为圣安息日，并要刻苦己心。从这月初九日晚上到次日晚上，要守为安息日。
It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
23:33 耶和华对摩西说，
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23:34 你晓谕以色列人说，这七月十五日是住棚节，要在耶和华面前守这节七日。
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
23:35 第一日当有圣会，什么劳碌的工都不可作。
On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
23:36 七日内要将火祭献给耶和华。第八日当守圣会，要将火祭献给耶和华。这是严肃会，什么劳碌的工都不可作。
Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and ye shall do no servile work therein.
23:37 这是耶和华的节期，就是你们要宣告为圣会的节期，要将火祭，燔祭，素祭，祭物，并奠祭，各归各日，献给耶和华。
These are the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing upon his day:
23:38 这是在耶和华的安息日以外，又在你们的供物和所许的愿，并甘心献给耶和华的以外。
Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
23:39 你们收藏了地的出产，就从七月十五日起，要守耶和华的节七日。第一日为圣安息，第八日也为圣安息。
Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, ye shall keep a feast unto the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.

And ye shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
23:41 每年七月间，要向耶和华守这节七日。这为你们世世代代永远的定例。
And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.
23:42 你们要住在棚里七日，凡以色列家的人都要住在棚里，
Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths:
23:43 好叫你们世世代代知道，我领以色列人出埃及地的时候曾使他们住在棚里。我是耶和华你们的神。
That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
23:44 于是，摩西将耶和华的节期传给以色列人。
And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
利未记23参考
人是善忘的，需要时常提醒……
23章 在以色列人的习俗之中，节期扮演重要的角色。这是神为百姓设立的，叫人用这些节日来到他面前庆祝，与充满败坏道德行径的异教节期迥然不同。神为他们定出节日，叫大家休息，一同吃喝欢乐，纪念神恩，并因他为百姓所做的大事献上感谢。
你对每个节期的意义了解有多深？
23:1-4 神在一年之中定出好几个民族假期叫他们庆祝、敬拜、交谊。从一个民族怎样庆祝假期，我们可以看出他们是怎样的民族。你是怎样度过假日的？它们怎样显明你的价值观？
在圣经中，酵代表著甚么？
23:6 无酵节使以色列人想起祖先出埃及的情形。他们要吃无酵饼七日，正如祖先当初一样（参出12:14-15）。无酵饼的预表对以色列人来说意义重大：（1）因为这饼是特殊的，它表示以色列民族与万民有别。（2）由于酵代表罪，所以无酵饼代表以色列人在道德上的纯洁。（3）这饼使他们记住，要立刻服从神的命令。他们的祖宗一点也没有在面团里放酵，所以不用等到面发起来，就能快速离开埃及。
你以为你今天所拥有的，是单凭你的才干和努力而得的吗？
23:9-14 初熟节的规定，是要人把初熟的庄稼先献给神。他们收割庄稼的时候，在向神献上这种祭以前，不可吃所收割的。神现在仍然期盼我们，把归于他的一份首先分别出来，而不是等到末后将剩余下来的献给他，这绝不是感谢神的好方法。
23:15-22 五旬节（也可以称为七七节）是颂赞神赐下丰收的节日。
你有没有争取机会，与家人一起度过某些重要的节日？
23:23-24 以色列人所用的号角大多数是羊角，也有些特制的号角是用银锤出来的。他们在每个月的开始都要吹角，正如宣告节期的开始一样。
家庭是教导下一代的理想场所，你的家有没有成为基督化的家庭？
23:33-43 住棚节又称为收藏节，这是全家人一起庆祝的庆典（参23:34；出23:16；申16:13）。这个节日和逾越节一样，为要教导以色列人全家老少认识神，也晓得神为他们所做的大事，将自己再一次献给神。我们的家庭也需要宗教的庆祝，好使信仰更新，并将这种信仰传给儿女。除了圣诞节与复活节以外，也应当拣选其他特别的日子来纪念神的恩典。
敬拜神除了有严肃的一面，也有欢愉的一面……
23:44 敬拜神既包含庆祝，又兼有认信。以色列人的民族节日很注重庆祝，七个节日之中有五个是喜乐的日子，只有两个是严肃的。圣经所记载的神鼓励人喜乐。他并不想人只把宗教看成默想与回顾，他也要我们庆祝，欢喜快乐。深思追想，从速地认罪是不可少的，不过也应当颂扬神的美善，庆祝他为属他之人所做的大事。
