Day#4: Leviticus 23:1-22

(Study Notes)

In chapter 23 of Leviticus, HaKadosh Baruch Hu communicates the various aspects of His fixed times—our Jewish Holy Days. After reminding us that He is our God, who brought us out of Mitzrayim, Hashem reiterates the various celebrations that we Jews partake in yearly in honor (mainly) of the very fact that He brought us, His kedoshim, out of Mitzrayim in order to make us His nation and to be our God.

(Leviticus 23:1-2)

Leviticus Chapter 23

וַיְדַבֵּ֥ר יְהֹוָ֖ה אֶל־מֹשֶׁ֥ה לֵּאמֹֽר׃

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

דַּבֵּ֞ר אֶל־בְּנֵ֤י יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ וְאָמַרְתָּ֣ אֲלֵהֶ֔ם מוֹעֲדֵ֣י יְהֹוָ֔ה אֲשֶׁר־תִּקְרְא֥וּ אֹתָ֖ם מִקְרָאֵ֣י קֹ֑דֶשׁ אֵ֥לֶּה הֵ֖ם מוֹעֲדָֽי׃

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: The appointed seasons of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are My appointed seasons.
