Colossians 2:16

Read in context

Colossians 2:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross!

15 And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

16 Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath.

17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ.

18 Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.

Leviticus 23:10

“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘When you enter the land that I am giving you and you reap its harvest, you are to bring to the priest a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest.

Leviticus 23:11

And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD so that it may be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.

Leviticus 23:12

On the day you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a year-old lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD,

Leviticus 23:13

along with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil—an offering made by fire to the LORD, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.

Leviticus 23:14

You must not eat any bread or roasted or new grain until the very day you have brought this offering to your God. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.

Leviticus 23:15

From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you are to count off seven full weeks.

Leviticus 23:16

You shall count off fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD.

Leviticus 23:17

Bring two loaves of bread from your dwellings as a wave offering, each made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour, baked with leaven, as the firstfruits to the LORD.

Leviticus 23:18

Along with the bread you are to present seven unblemished male lambs a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the LORD, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.

Leviticus 23:19

You shall also prepare one male goat as a sin offering and two male lambs a year old as a peace offering.

Leviticus 23:21

On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly, and you must not do any regular work. This is to be a permanent statute wherever you live for the generations to come.

Leviticus 23:22

When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap all the way to the edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident. I am the LORD your God.’”

Leviticus 23:23

The LORD also said to Moses,

Leviticus 23:24

“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly announced by trumpet blasts.

Leviticus 23:25

You must not do any regular work, but you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD.’”

Leviticus 23:26

Again the LORD said to Moses,

Leviticus 23:27

“The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You shall hold a sacred assembly and humble yourselves, and present an offering made by fire to the LORD.

Leviticus 23:28

On this day you are not to do any work, for it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.

Leviticus 23:29

If anyone does not humble himself on this day, he must be cut off from his people.

Leviticus 23:30

I will destroy from among his people anyone who does any work on this day.

Leviticus 23:31

You are not to do any work at all. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.

Leviticus 23:32

It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall humble yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to keep your Sabbath.”

Leviticus 23:33

And the LORD said to Moses,

Leviticus 23:34

“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Feast of Tabernacles to the LORD begins, and it continues for seven days.

Leviticus 23:35

On the first day there shall be a sacred assembly. You must not do any regular work.

Leviticus 23:36

For seven days you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you must not do any regular work.

Leviticus 23:37

These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting offerings by fire to the LORD—burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day.

Leviticus 23:38

These offerings are in addition to the offerings for the LORD’s Sabbaths, and in addition to your gifts, to all your vow offerings, and to all the freewill offerings you give to the LORD.

Leviticus 23:39

On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the produce of the land, you are to celebrate a feast to the LORD for seven days. There shall be complete rest on the first day and also on the eighth day.

Leviticus 23:40

On the first day you are to gather the fruit of majestic trees, the branches of palm trees, and the boughs of leafy trees and of willows of the brook. And you are to rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.

Leviticus 23:41

You are to celebrate this as a feast to the LORD for seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come; you are to celebrate it in the seventh month.

Leviticus 23:42

You are to dwell in booths for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must dwell in booths,

Leviticus 23:43

so that your descendants may know that I made the Israelites dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”

Leviticus 23:44

So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed feasts of the LORD.
