Leviticus 23:8-14

8For seven days present a food offering to the Lord. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’ ”

9The Lord said to Moses,

10“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When you enter the land I am going to give you and you reap its harvest, bring to the priest a sheaf of the first grain you harvest.

11He is to wave the sheaf before the Lord so it will be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.

12On the day you wave the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to the Lord a lamb a year old without defect,

13together with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour mixed with olive oil—a food offering presented to the Lord, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter of a hin of wine.

14You must not eat any bread, or roasted or new grain, until the very day you bring this offering to your God. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.
