Leviticus 23:1-18

1And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, 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 in it : it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.

4These are the feasts of the LORD, holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons. 5In the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the LORD’S passover. 6And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD: seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. 7In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it. 8But ye shall offer an offering made by fire to the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work in it . 9And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, When ye shall have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest:1 11And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the next day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf a male lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering to the LORD. 13And its meat offering shall be two tenth parts of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the LORD for a sweet savour: and its drink offering shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin. 14And ye shall eat neither bread, nor roasted grain, nor new growth, until the same day that ye have brought an offering to your God: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

15And ye shall count to you from the next day after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: 16Even to the next day after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering to the LORD. 17Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth parts: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven; they are the firstfruits to the LORD. 18And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bull, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering to the LORD, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour to the LORD.
