Leviticus 23:15-22

15‘1You 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. 16You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall present a 2new grain offering to the Lord. 17You shall bring in from your dwelling places two loaves of bread as a wave offering, made of 3two-tenths of an ephah; they shall be of a fine flour, baked 4with leaven as first fruits to the Lord. 18Along 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. 19You shall also offer 5one male goat as a 6sin offering, and two male lambs one year old as a sacrifice of peace offerings. 20The priest shall then wave them with the bread of the first fruits as a wave offering with two lambs before the Lord; they are to be holy to the Lord for the priest. 21On this very day you shall 7make a proclamation as well; you are to have a holy convocation. You shall do no laborious 8work. It is to be a permanent statute in all your dwelling places throughout your generations.

22‘9When you reap the harvest of your land, moreover, you shall not reap to the very edges of your field nor gather the gleaning of your harvest; you are to leave them for the needy and the stranger. I am the Lord your God.’”
