And so in the beginning of the Month Abib, I came to the prisoners that dwelt by the water of Chebar and remained in that place, where they were: And so continued I among them seven days, being very sorry.

And when the seven days were expired, the LORD said unto me,

Therefore, thus sayeth the LORD God unto them: Behold, I will sever the fat sheep from the lean:

seven years shall they be burning thereof, so that they shall else bring no sticks from the field, neither have need to hew down any out of the wood: For they shall have weapons now to burn. They shall rob those that robbed them, and spoil those that spoiled them, sayeth the LORD God.

Seven months long shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.

They shall ordain men also to be dead buriers, ever going through the land, and appoint them certain places to bury those in which remain upon the field - that the land may be cleansed. From end to end shall they seek; and that seven months long.

Seven days shalt thou bring, every day a goat buck. A young bullock, and a ram of the flock, both without blemish, shall they offer.

Seven days shall they reconcile and cleanse the altar, and offer upon it.

And when he is cleansed, there shall be reckoned unto him seven days:

Upon the fourteenth day of the first month ye shall keep Easter. Seven days shall the feast continue, wherein there shall no sour nor leavened bread be eaten.

And in the feast of the seven days he shall offer every day a bullock and a ram, that are without blemish, for a burnt offering unto the LORD: and a he goat daily for a sin offering.

Upon the fifteenth day of the seventh month, he shall keep the seven days holy one after another, even as the other seven days: with the sin offering, burnt offering, meat offering, and with the oil."
