Leviticus 23

YHWH instructs Moshe on Israel's appointed times, including the weekly Shabbat, Pesach, Matzot, Bikkurim, Shavuot, Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot, with specific offerings, rest, and prohibitions on work.[1][2] These mo'adim commemorate divine deliverance, provision, atonement, and ingathering, ending with commands to leave harvest gleanings for the poor and stranger.[2][3]
