Deuteronomy 16:8

16:8 You must eat bread made without yeast for six days. The seventh day you are to hold an assembly for the Lord your God; you must not do any work on that day. 1 

Joel 1:14

1:14 Announce a holy fast; 2 

proclaim a sacred assembly.

Gather the elders and 3  all the inhabitants of the land

to the temple of the Lord your God,

and cry out to the Lord.

Joel 2:15

2:15 Blow the trumpet 4  in Zion.

Announce a holy fast;

proclaim a sacred assembly!

1 tn The words “on that day” are not in the Hebrew text; they are supplied in the translation for clarification (cf. TEV, NLT).

2 tn Heb “consecrate a fast” (so NASB).

3 tc The conjunction “and” does not appear in MT or LXX, but does appear in some Qumran texts (4QXIIc and 4QXIIg).

4 tn See the note on this term in 2:1.
