Context of Leviticus 23:16
14Don’t eat bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until this same day, when you bring the offering to your God. It is a permanent law for generations to come wherever you live. 15“Count seven full weeks from the day after Passover (the day you bring the bundle of grain as an offering presented to the Lord) until the day after the seventh week. This is a total of fifty days. Then bring a new grain offering to the Lord. 17Bring two loaves of bread from your homes to present to the Lord. Bake them with four quarts of flour. They are the first harvested grain for the Lord. 18With the bread bring seven one-year-old lambs that have no defects, one bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the Lord. With these offerings also bring grain and wine offerings. They will be a sacrifice by fire, a soothing aroma to the Lord.
