Le 23:4
23:4 These [are] the feasts of the LORD, [even] holy
     convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their {a} seasons.

     (a) For the sabbath was kept every week, and these others
         were kept only once every year.

Le 23:7
23:7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye
     shall do no {b} servile work therein.

     (b) Or, bodily labour, save about that which one must eat,
         @Ex 12:16.

Le 23:8
23:8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD
     seven days: in the {c} seventh day [is] an holy
     convocation: ye shall do no servile work [therein].

     (c) The first day of the feast and the seventh were kept
         holy: in the rest they might work, except any feasts
         that were together, as were the feast of unleavened
         bread and the feast of sheaves which were on the
         fifteenth and sixteenth days.

Le 23:11
23:11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be
      accepted for you: on the morrow after the {d} sabbath the
      priest shall wave it.

      (d) That is, the second sabbath of the Passover.

Le 23:13
23:13 And the meat offering thereof [shall be] two {e} 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] {f}
      of an hin.

      (e) Which is, the fifth part of an Ephah, or two Omers:
          read @Ex 16:16.
      (f) Read @Ex 29:40.

Le 23:15
23:15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the {g}
      sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the
      wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete:

      (g) That is, the seventh day after the first sabbath of
          the Passover.

Le 23:17
23:17 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 {h} leaven; [they are] the firstfruits unto
      the LORD.

      (h) Because the priest should eat them, as in
          @Le 7:13, and they should not be offered to the
          Lord on the altar.

Le 23:20
23:20 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 {i}
      priest.

      (i) That is, offered to the Lord, and the rest should be
          for the priest.

Le 23:24
23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the {k}
      seventh month, in the first [day] of the month, shall ye
      {l} have a sabbath, a memorial of {m} blowing of trumpets,
      an holy convocation.

      (k) That is, about the end of September.
      (l) Or, a holy day to the Lord.
      (m) Which blowing was to remind them of the many feasts
          that were in that month, and of the Jubile.

Le 23:27
23:27 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 {n} afflict your souls, and offer
      an offering made by fire unto the LORD.

      (n) By fasting and prayer.

Le 23:32
23:32 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 {o} even unto even, shall ye celebrate your
      sabbath.

      (o) Which contains a night and a day: yet they took it as
          their natural day.

Le 23:36
23:36 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 {p} solemn assembly; [and] ye shall do
      no servile work [therein].

      (p) Or, a day in which the people refrain from all work.

Le 23:37
23:37 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 {q} sacrifice, and drink offerings, every
      thing upon his day:

      (q) Or, peace offering.

Le 23:39
23:39 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 {r} sabbath, and on the eighth day [shall be] a
      sabbath.

      (r) Or, a solemn feast.

Le 23:43
23:43 That your generations may know that I made the children of
      Israel to dwell in {s} booths, when I brought them out of
      the land of Egypt: I [am] the LORD your God.

      (s) In the wilderness, in that they would not believe
          Joshua and Caleb, when they returned from spying the
          land of Canaan.
