The Feast of Weeks^(A)

⁹ You must count seven weeks for yourself. Begin counting the seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain. ¹⁰ You must keep the Feast of Weeks to the Lord your God with a tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you must give to the Lord your God, in proportion to how much the Lord your God has blessed you. ¹¹ You shall rejoice before the Lord your God—you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, your female servant, the Levite who is within your gates, the foreigner, the orphan, and the widow who are among you—in the place where the Lord your God has chosen to place His name. ¹² You must remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you must be careful to observe these statutes.
