Leviticus 23:9–21

⁹Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

¹⁰“Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, ‘When you enter the land which I am going to give to you and ^areap its harvest, then you shall bring in the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.

¹¹‘He shall wave the sheaf before the Lord for you to be accepted; on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

¹²‘Now on the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb one year old without defect for a burnt offering to the Lord.

¹³‘Its ^agrain offering shall then be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering by fire to the Lord for a soothing aroma, with its drink offering, a fourth of a ¹hin of wine.

¹⁴‘Until this same day, until you have brought in the offering of your God, ^ayou shall eat neither bread nor roasted grain nor new growth. It is to be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.

¹⁵‘^aYou shall also count for yourselves from the day after the sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete sabbaths.

¹⁶‘You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh sabbath; then you shall present a ^anew grain offering to the Lord.

¹⁷‘You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread for a wave offering, made of two-tenths of an ¹ephah; they shall be of a fine flour, baked ^awith leaven as first fruits to the Lord.

¹⁸‘Along with the bread you shall present seven one year old male lambs without defect, and a bull of the herd and two rams; they are to be a burnt offering to the Lord, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering by fire of a soothing aroma to the Lord.

¹⁹‘You shall also offer ^aone male goat for a sin offering and two male lambs one year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

²⁰‘The priest shall then wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering with two lambs before the Lord; they are to be holy to the Lord for the priest.

²¹‘On this same day you shall ^amake a proclamation as well; you are to have a holy convocation. You shall do no laborious ^bwork. It is to be a perpetual statute in all your dwelling places throughout your generations.
