Leviticus 23:9–21

The Feast of Firstfruits

⁹And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹⁰“Speak to the people of Israel and say to them, ^wWhen you come into the land that I give you and reap its harvest, you shall bring the sheaf of ^xthe firstfruits of your harvest to the priest, ¹¹and he shall ^ywave the sheaf before the Lord, so that you may be accepted. On the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. ¹²And on the day when you ^ywave the sheaf, you shall offer a ^zmale lamb a year old without blemish as a burnt offering to the Lord. ^13aAnd the grain offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah² of fine flour mixed with oil, a food offering to the Lord with a pleasing aroma, ^band the drink offering with it shall be of wine, a fourth of a hin.^{3 14}And you shall eat neither bread nor grain ^cparched or ^cfresh until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

The Feast of Weeks

^15d“You shall count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the ^ywave offering. ¹⁶You shall count ^efifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you shall present a grain offering of ^fnew grain to the Lord. ¹⁷You shall bring from your dwelling places two loaves of bread to be waved, made of two tenths of an ephah. They shall be of fine flour, and they shall be baked with leaven, as ^gfirstfruits to the Lord. ¹⁸And you shall present with the bread seven lambs a year old without blemish, and one bull from the herd and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to the Lord, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, a food offering with a pleasing aroma to the Lord. ¹⁹And you shall offer one ^hmale goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a sacrifice of ⁱpeace offerings. ²⁰And the priest shall ^ywave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before the Lord, with the two lambs. ^jThey shall be holy to the Lord for the priest. ²¹And you shall make a proclamation on the same day. You shall hold a holy convocation. You shall not do any ordinary work. It is a statute forever in all your dwelling places throughout your generations.
