Leviticus 23:1-18
1And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying, 2Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of Yhwh, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts. 3Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of Yhwh in all your dwellings.
4These are the feasts of Yhwh, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 5In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is Yhwh's passover. 6And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto Yhwh: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. 7In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. 8But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto Yhwh seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein.
9And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying, 10Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:1 11And he shall wave the sheaf before Yhwh, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto Yhwh. 13And the grain offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Yhwh for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 14And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor green heads, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: 16Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new grain offering unto Yhwh. 17Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken with leaven; they are the firstfruits unto Yhwh. 18And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto Yhwh, with their grain offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto Yhwh.
