Context of Leviticus 23:18

16until 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. With 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. 19Also sacrifice one male goat as an offering for sin and two one-year-old lambs as a fellowship offering. 20The priest must present them along with the bread of the first harvested grain as an offering to the Lord. All this, along with the two lambs, will be holy and will belong to the Lord’s priests.
