The Feast of Weeks
9 “(A)You shall count seven weeks for yourself; you shall begin to count seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain. 10 Then you shall [a]celebrate the Feast of Weeks to Yahweh your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give just as Yahweh your God blesses you; 11 and you shall (B)be glad before Yahweh your God, you and your son and your daughter and your male and female slaves and (C)the Levite who is within your gates and (D)the sojourner and the [b]orphan and the widow who are in your midst, in the place where Yahweh your God chooses for His name to dwell. 12 (E)And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.

Tree of Life Version
9 Seven weeks you are to count for yourself—from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you will begin to count seven weeks. 10 Then you will keep the Feast of Shavuot[a] to Adonai your God with a measure of a freewill offering from your hand, which you are to give according to how Adonai your God blesses you. 11 So you will rejoice before Adonai your God in the place Adonai your God chooses to make His Name dwell—you, your son and daughter, slave and maid, Levite and outsider, orphan and widow in your midst. 12 You will remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you are to take care and do these statutes.
