FEASTS, FESTIVALS
Mt 26:17 Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the
disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, Where will you that we prepare for
you to eat the passover?
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say to him, The Master
said, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at your house with my
disciples.
19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready
the passover.
Lu 2:41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of
the passover.
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the
custom of the feast.
Joh 2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast
day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
7:2 Now the Jew’s feast of tabernacles was at hand.
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried,
saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
10:22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.
23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
11:55 And the Jews’ passover was near at hand: and many went out of the
country up to Jerusalem before the passover, to purify themselves.
56 Then sought they for Jesus, and spoke among themselves, as they stood in
the temple, What think you, that he will not come to the feast?
57 Now both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment,
that, if any man knew where he were, he should show it, that they might take
him.
Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all
with one accord in one place.
20:5 These going before tarried for us at Troas.
6 And we sailed away from Philippi after the days of unleavened bread, and
came to them to Troas in five days; where we stayed seven days.
20:16 For Paul had determined to sail by Ephesus, because he would not spend
the time in Asia: for he hurried, if it were possible for him, to be at
Jerusalem the day of Pentecost.
Rom 14:5 One man esteems one day above another: another esteems every
day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
6 He that regards the day, regards it to the Lord; and he that regards not
the day, to the Lord he does not regard it. He that eats, eats to the Lord,
for he gives God thanks; and he that eats not, to the Lord he eats not, and
gives God thanks.
1 Cor 16:8 But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost.
9 For a great door and effectual is opened to me, and there are many
adversaries.
Gal 4:9 But now, after that you have known God, or rather are known
of God, how turn you again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto you
desire again to be in bondage?
10 You observe days, and months, and times, and years.
11 I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed on you labor in vain.
Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in
respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
Heb 11:28 Through faith he kept the passover, and the sprinkling of
blood, lest he that destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
Gen 50:10 And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is
beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation:
and he made a mourning for his father seven days.
11 And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in
the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians:
why the name of it was called Abelmizraim, which is beyond Jordan.
Ex 12:11 And thus shall you eat it; with your loins girded, your
shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in
haste: it is the LORD’s passover.
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all
the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the
gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token on the houses where you are:
and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be
on you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.
14 And this day shall be to you for a memorial; and you shall keep it a
feast to the LORD throughout your generations; you shall keep it a feast by
an ordinance for ever.
12:15 Seven days shall you eat unleavened bread; even the first day you
shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whoever eats leavened bread
from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from
Israel.
16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the
seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work
shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be
done of you.
17 And you shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame
day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall you
observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, you shall
eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
23:14 Three times you shall keep a feast to me in the year.
15 You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread: (you shall eat unleavened
bread seven days, as I commanded you, in the time appointed of the month
Abib; for in it you came out from Egypt: and none shall appear before me
empty:)
16 And the feast of harvest, the first fruits of your labors, which you have
sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the
year, when you have gathered in your labors out of the field.
17 Three items in the year all your males shall appear before the LORD God.
34:18 The feast of unleavened bread shall you keep. Seven days you shall eat
unleavened bread, as I commanded you, in the time of the month Abib: for in
the month Abib you came out from Egypt.
21 Six days you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in
ripening time and in harvest you shall rest.
22 And you shall observe the feast of weeks, of the first fruits of wheat
harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
23 Thrice in the year shall all your male children appear before the LORD
God, the God of Israel.
24 For I will cast out the nations before you, and enlarge your borders:
neither shall any man desire your land, when you shall go up to appear
before the LORD your God thrice in the year.
Lev 23:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, Concerning the feasts of
the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are
my feasts.
3 Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest,
an holy convocation; you shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the
LORD in all your dwellings.
4 These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which you shall
proclaim in their seasons.
5 In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD’s passover.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened
bread to the LORD: seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
7 In the first day you shall have an holy convocation: you shall do no
servile work therein.
23:15 And you shall count to you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the
day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be
complete:
16 Even to the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall you number fifty days;
and you shall offer a new meat offering to the LORD.
23:23 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
24 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the
first day of the month, shall you have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of
trumpets, an holy convocation.
25 You shall do no servile work therein: but you shall offer an offering
made by fire to the LORD.
26 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of
atonement: it shall be an holy convocation to you; and you shall afflict
your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the LORD.
28 And you shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement,
to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God.
32 It shall be to you a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls:
in the ninth day of the month at even, from even to even, shall you
celebrate your sabbath.
23:34 Speak to the children of Israel, saying, The fifteenth day of this
seventh month shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days to the LORD.
35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: you shall do no servile
work therein.
36 Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD: on the
eighth day shall be an holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an
offering made by fire to the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; and you shall do
no servile work therein.
37 These are the feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy
convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to the LORD, a burnt
offering, and a meat offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, every thing
on his day:
38 Beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all
your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which you give to the
LORD.
39 Also in the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in
the fruit of the land, you shall keep a feast to the LORD seven days: on the
first day shall be a sabbath, and on the eighth day shall be a sabbath.
40 And you shall take you on the first day the boughs of goodly trees,
branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the
brook; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
41 And you shall keep it a feast to the LORD seven days in the year. It
shall be a statute for ever in your generations: you shall celebrate it in
the seventh month.
42 You shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are Israelites born shall
dwell in booths:
43 That your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to
dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD
your God.
44 And Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of the LORD.
25:1 And the LORD spoke to Moses in mount Sinai, saying,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When you come into the
land which I give you, then shall the land keep a sabbath to the LORD.
3 Six years you shall sow your field, and six years you shall prune your
vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;
4 But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath
for the LORD: you shall neither sow your field, nor prune your vineyard.
5 That which grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap,
neither gather the grapes of your vine undressed: for it is a year of rest
to the land.
25:8 And you shall number seven sabbaths of years to you, seven times seven
years; and the space of the seven sabbaths of years shall be to you forty
and nine years.
9 Then shall you cause the trumpet of the jubilee to sound on the tenth day
of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall you make the trumpet
sound throughout all your land.
10 And you shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout
all the land to all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubilee to you;
and you shall return every man to his possession, and you shall return every
man to his family.
11 A jubilee shall that fiftieth year be to you: you shall not sow, neither
reap that which grows of itself in it, nor gather the grapes in it of your
vine undressed.
12 For it is the jubilee; it shall be holy to you: you shall eat the
increase thereof out of the field.
13 In the year of this jubilee you shall return every man to his possession.
Num 29:1 And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you
shall have an holy convocation; you shall do no servile work: it is a day of
blowing the trumpets to you.
7 And you shall have on the tenth day of this seventh month an holy
convocation; and you shall afflict your souls: you shall not do any work
therein:
12 And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month you shall have an holy
convocation; you shall do no servile work, and you shall keep a feast to the
LORD seven days:
De 16:8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day
shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD your God: you shall do no work
therein.
9 Seven weeks shall you number to you: begin to number the seven weeks from
such time as you begin to put the sickle to the corn.
10 And you shall keep the feast of weeks to the LORD your God with a tribute
of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give to the LORD your
God, according as the LORD your God has blessed you:
16:13 You shall observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that you
have gathered in your corn and your wine:
14 And you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter,
and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and
the fatherless, and the widow, that are within your gates.
15 Seven days shall you keep a solemn feast to the LORD your God in the
place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD your God shall bless you
in all your increase, and in all the works of your hands, therefore you
shall surely rejoice.
16 Three times in a year shall all your males appear before the LORD your
God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread,
and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall
not appear before the LORD empty:
2 Ki 23:21 And the king commanded all the people, saying, Keep the
passover to the LORD your God, as it is written in the book of this covenant.
22 Surely there was not held such a passover from the days of the judges
that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the
kings of Judah;
23 But in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, wherein this passover was held
to the LORD in Jerusalem.
24 Moreover the workers with familiar spirits, and the wizards, and the
images, and the idols, and all the abominations that were spied in the land
of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might perform the
words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest
found in the house of the LORD.
25 And like to him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD
with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according
to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.
1 Ch 23:31 And to offer all burnt sacrifices to the LORD in the
sabbaths, in the new moons, and on the set feasts, by number, according to
the order commanded to them, continually before the LORD:
2 Ch 2:4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to
dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the
continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on
the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our
God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
8:12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the
LORD, which he had built before the porch,
13 Even after a certain rate every day, offering according to the
commandment of Moses, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the
solemn feasts, three times in the year, even in the feast of unleavened
bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
30:1 And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to
Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at
Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the LORD God of Israel.
2 For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation
in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not
sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered
themselves together to Jerusalem.
4 And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
5 So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel,
from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover to
the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done it of a long time
in such sort as it was written.
6 So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes
throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the
king, saying, You children of Israel, turn again to the LORD God of Abraham,
Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are
escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7 And be not you like your fathers, and like your brothers, which trespassed
against the LORD God of their fathers, who therefore gave them up to
desolation, as you see.
8 Now be you not stiff necked, as your fathers were, but yield yourselves to
the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever:
and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away
from you.
9 For if you turn again to the LORD, your brothers and your children shall
find compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come
again into this land: for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and
will not turn away his face from you, if you return to him.
10 So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and
Manasseh even to Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
11 Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled
themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
12 Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the
commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
13 And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of
unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
14 And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all
the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month:
and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and
brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
21 And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast
of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the
priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments to the
LORD.
35:17 And the children of Israel that were present kept the passover at that
time, and the feast of unleavened bread seven days.
18 And there was no passover like to that kept in Israel from the days of
Samuel the prophet; neither did all the kings of Israel keep such a passover
as Josiah kept, and the priests, and the Levites, and all Judah and Israel
that were present, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ezr 3:4 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as it is written,
and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the custom, as
the duty of every day required;
6:19 And the children of the captivity kept the passover on the fourteenth
day of the first month.
20 For the priests and the Levites were purified together, all of them were
pure, and killed the passover for all the children of the captivity, and for
their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
21 And the children of Israel, which were come again out of captivity, and
all such as had separated themselves to them from the filthiness of the
heathen of the land, to seek the LORD God of Israel, did eat,
22 And kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with joy: for the LORD
had made them joyful, and turned the heart of the king of Assyria to them,
to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of
Israel.
Neh 8:14 And they found written in the law which the LORD had
commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in
the feast of the seventh month:
15 And that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in
Jerusalem, saying, Go forth to the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine
branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick
trees, to make booths, as it is written.
16 So the people went forth, and brought them, and made themselves booths,
every one on the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts
of the house of God, and in the street of the water gate, and in the street
of the gate of Ephraim.
17 And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the
captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of
Jeshua the son of Nun to that day had not the children of Israel done so.
And there was very great gladness.
18 Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book
of the law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day
was a solemn assembly, according to the manner.
Est 9:18 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the
thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth
day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelled in the unwalled towns,
made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting,
and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
20 And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews that
were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both near and far,
21 To establish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of
the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month
which was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good
day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending
portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had
written to them;
24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the
Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that
is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
25 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his
wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return on his own
head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
26 Why they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. Therefore for all
the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this
matter, and which had come to them,
27 The Jews ordained, and took on them, and on their seed, and on all such
as joined themselves to them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep
these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed
time every year;
28 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every
generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these
days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them
perish from their seed.
Isa 1:13 Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination to
me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away
with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.
14 Your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hates: they are a
trouble to me; I am weary to bear them.
Eze 45:17 And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings,
and meat offerings, and drink offerings, in the feasts, and in the new moons,
and in the sabbaths, in all solemnities of the house of Israel: he shall
prepare the sin offering, and the meat offering, and the burnt offering, and
the peace offerings, to make reconciliation for the house of Israel.
21 In the first month, in the fourteenth day of the month, you shall have
the passover, a feast of seven days; unleavened bread shall be eaten.
Hos 2:11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast days,
her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn feasts.
Zec 14:16 And it shall come to pass, that every one that is left of
all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall even go up from year to
year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the feast of
tabernacles.
