"This month will mark the beginning of months for you. It will be the first month of the year for you.

Your lamb is to be a year old male without blemish. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.

You are to keep this ordinance at its appointed time from year to year."

but you are to let it rest the seventh year, leaving it unplanted. The poor of your people may eat from it, and the wild animals may eat what they leave. You are to do the same with your vineyards and olive groves.

"Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival for me.

You are to observe the Festival of Harvest, celebrating the first fruits of your work in planting the field, and the Festival of Tabernacles at the end of the year, when you gather the fruit of your work from the field.

Three times a year all your males shall appear in the presence of the Lord GOD."

I won't drive them out before you in a single year, so that the land does not become desolate and so that wild animals do not overrun you.

"This is what you are to offer on the altar continually: two one year old lambs each day.

Each year Aaron is to make atonement on its horns with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. He is to make atonement on it each year throughout your generations. It is most holy to the LORD."

"You are to observe the Festival of Weeks, the first fruits of the wheat harvest, and the Festival of Tabernacles at the turn of the year.

Three times during the year all your males are to appear in the presence of the LORD God of Israel,

since I'm going to drive out nations before you, and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land, when you go up to appear in the presence of the LORD your God three times a year.

And so in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tent was set up.
