Leviticus 23:15-22

15On the day after the Sabbath day the people will sacrifice their gifts to God. After this, they must count seven weeks.

16They must count 50 days until the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then they must give another gift of new grain to the Lord.

17Each family must bring two loaves of bread as a special gift to the Lord. They must make the bread with two tenths (2/10) of an ephah (about 4 litres) of good flour and yeast. This gift is from the first of their harvest fruits.

18With the bread, all the people must bring seven perfect sheep. They must be males, each one year old. They must bring a bull. They must also bring two older male sheep. The priest will burn the grain and the animals as a gift to the Lord. The smell of them while they are burning will give the Lord pleasure.

19The priest must sacrifice one male goat as a sin offering. The people must give two young sheep. They must be one year old. They are a gift to God.

20The priest will lift the animals and the bread to the Lord. They are a holy offering to the Lord. They are for the priest.

21On this day, the people must not do any work. They must not work anywhere that they live. It is a special day to God now and for all time to come.

22When the people harvest the grain, they must not cut it to the edge of the field. They must not pick up any grain that falls. Some grain must remain in the field. It is for the poor people and for foreign people. I am the Lord your God.’
