תְּבוּאָתְךָ וּבְכֹל מַעֲשֵׂה יָדֶיךָ וְהָיִיתָ
אַךְ שָׂמֵחַ: שָׁלוֹשׁ פְּעָמִים | בַּשָּׁנָה
יֵרָאֶה כָל־זְכוּרְךָ אֶת־פְּנֵי | יְהוָה
אֱלֹהֶיךָ בַּמָּקוֹם אֲשֶׁר יִבְחָר בְּחַג
הַמַּצּוֹת וּבְחַג הַשָּׁבֻעוֹת וּבְחַג
הַסֻּכּוֹת וְלֹא יֵרָאֶה אֶת־פְּנֵי יְהוָה
רֵיקָם: אִישׁ כְּמַתְּנַת יָדוֹ כְּבִרְכַּת

English

You shall celebrate the Festival of Sukkot for seven days, beginning from the evening before the fifteenth of Tishrei, which is when you typically gather all harvest from your threshing floor and your wine vat for the winter season. And you shall rejoice on your festival, you, together with your son and daughter. Ensure that your manservant and maidservant, and also the Levite, the convert, the orphan, the widow, and any needy people who dwell in your cities, have enough with which to celebrate. For seven days you shall celebrate the Festival of Sukkot for the Lord, your God, Jerusalem—the place that the Lord will choose, because the Lord, your God, will bless you in all of your crops and in all the work of your hand, and you will only be happy. Three times a year, all of your males shall appear before the Lord, your God, in the Holy Temple—the place that He will choose to rest His name, on Pesach—the Festival of Matzot, on the Festival of Shavuot, and on the Festival of Sukkot; and they shall not appear before the Lord empty-handed. Each man should bring sacrifices according to what his hand can afford to give, according to the amount of blessing that the Lord, your God, has given you.

The following are the Mussaf-offerings—the additional offerings which were brought on the Festival of Shavuot in the Tabernacle and in the Temple.

On the Day of the First Fruits, when you bring a flour-offering from the new crop of wheat to the Lord on your Festival of Shavuot, it shall be a holy gathering for you; you shall not do any work. You shall bring the following animals as a burnt-offering to make a pleasing smell for the Lord: two young bulls, one ram, and seven lambs that are less than a year old. As their flour-offering bring three-tenths of an eifah of fine flour mixed with olive oil for each bull, two-tenths of an eifah for the one ram, and one-tenth of an eifah for each lamb of the seven lambs. You should also bring one young male goat as a sin-offering to atone for your sins. You shall bring these offerings besides for the daily burnt-offering, which is brought with its flour-offering and wine-offering; you must make sure that they are all unblemished.

HAFTARAH FOR SECOND DAY OF SHAVUOT

The following is the prayer of the prophet Habakkuk on behalf of the Jewish Nation, in which he invokes the memory of the Jewish Nation gladly accepting the Torah at Mount Sinai.

Hebrew

וַיהוָה בְּהֵיכַל קָדְשׁוֹ
הַס מִפָּנָיו כָּל־הָאָרֶץ:
תְּפִלָּה לַחֲבַקּוּק הַנָּבִיא

Although the Lord dwells in His holy abode in the heavens, the entire population of the earth is silenced before Him, for He rules over everything and no one can speak against Him. The following is the prayer of the prophet Habakkuk for the inadvertent sins of the Jewish Nation in general, and for himself in particular, for having complained to God about perceived injustices: Lord, I heard Your prophecy regarding the upcoming exile, and I became very afraid, for how will the Jewish Nation be able to withstand such a long exile? I pray to you, Lord, and I ask that during the years of exile, keep alive and sustain the Jewish Nation—Your creation. During the years of exile, let it be known that even in Your anger, You remember to be merciful to Your people, as You have promised. God came from Mount Se'ir in the south, where He had offered the Torah to the descendants of Esau, and the Holy One came from Mount Paran in might, where He had offered the Torah to the descendants of Ishmael. Both nations were unwilling to accept the Torah. Then, God came to Mount Sinai to give the Torah to the Jewish Nation; His splendor covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth. The bright light on that day was as bright as the light that existed during the seven days of creation. Rays of light shone forth from God's hand to His nation, and His hidden strength was revealed there to the Jewish Nation. Death from plague went ahead of Him to fell the Canaanites; fire went forth to destroy them at His feet—as the Jewish Nation approached with the Holy Ark at their head. When the Jewish Nation entered the Land of Israel, the Holy Ark remained in the city of Gilgal for fourteen years until the land was measured and divided among the tribes. God destroyed the nations that were in the land as if just by looking at them. The ancient mountains—the kings of Canaan—were shattered, the everlasting hills—the princes of Canaan—humbly bowed because the ways of the world are His; God decides whom to raise up and whom to bring down. I saw the tents of Cushan, king of Aram, as they became weak, because God sent Otniel son of Knaz to save the Jews from them. When the nation of Midian rose up against the Jews, God sent Gideon to save them, and He caused the curtains of the tents of the land of Midian to tremble. Was God angry with the rivers? Was Your wrath against the rivers when You caused the waters of the Jordan to stop flowing downstream? Was Your fury against the Sea of Reeds when You caused its waters to split? Of course not. You only did so as if to ride on Your horses with Your chariots to save the Jewish Nation in their time of need. You revealed Your mighty bow to fight the Canaanites in order to fulfill the oaths You made to our forefathers
