Leviticus 23:9–22

The Feast of Firstfruits

Theng Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the Israelites,h and say to them, ‘When you come to the land that I am about to give to you and you reap its harvest, theni you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruit of your harvest to the priest. 11 And he shall wave the sheaf beforej Yahweh for your acceptance; the priest shall wave it on the day afterk the Sabbath. 12 And on the day of your waving the sheaf you shall offerl a yearlingm male lamb without defect as a burnt offering to Yahweh. 13 And its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephahn of finely milled flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, an appeasing fragrance; and its libation shall be a fourth of a hino of wine. 14 And you shall not eat bread orp roasted grain orq ripe grain until this very same day,r until you present your God’s offering. This must be a lasting statutes for your generations in all your dwellings.

The Feast of Weeks

15 “ ‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day aftert the Sabbath, from the day of your bringing the wave offering’s sheaf—there shall be seven full weeks. 16 Until the day afteru the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; thenv you shall present a new grain offering for Yahweh. 17 You shall bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread made withw two-tenths of an ephahx of finely milled flour; they must be baked with leaven—the firstfruits belonging toy Yahweh. 18 And, in addition to the bread, you shall present seven yearlingz male lambs without defects and one young bulla and two rams—they shall be a burnt offering for Yahweh withb their grain offering and their libations, an offering made by fire, an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. 19 And you shall offerc one he-goat as a sin offering and two yearlingd male lambs as a sacrifice of fellowship offerings. 20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering beforee Yahweh; in addition to the two male lambs, they shall be holy for Yahweh for the priest. 21 And you shall make a proclamationf on this very same day;g it shall be a holy assembly for you; you shall not do any regular work;h this is a lasting statutei in all your dwellings throughoutj your generations. 22 And when youk reap the harvest of yourl land, youm must not finish the edge of yourn field at your reaping, and youo must not glean the remnants of yourp harvest—youq shall leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I am Yahweh yourr God.’ ”
