New English Translation
13 along with its grain offering, two-tenths of an ephah of[a] choice wheat flour[b] mixed with olive oil, as a gift to the Lord, a soothing aroma,[c] and its drink offering, one-fourth of a hin of wine.[d] 14 You must not eat bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until this very day,[e] until you bring the offering to your God. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations[f] in all the places where you live.
The Feast of Weeks
15 “‘You must count for yourselves seven weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day you bring the wave offering sheaf; they must be complete weeks.[g]

- Leviticus 23:13 tn Heb “wine, one-fourth of the hin.” A pre-exilic hin is about 3.6 liters (= ca. 1 gallon), so one-fourth of a hin would be about 1 quart (1 liter).
- Leviticus 23:14 tn Heb “until the bone of this day.”
- Leviticus 23:14 tn Heb “for your generations.”
- Leviticus 23:15 tn Heb “seven Sabbaths, they shall be complete.” The disjunctive accent under “Sabbaths” precludes the translation “seven complete Sabbaths” (as NASB, NIV; cf. NAB, NRSV, NLT). The text is somewhat awkward, which may explain why the LXX tradition is confused here, either adding “you shall count” again at the end of the verse, or leaving out “they shall be,” or keeping “they shall be” and adding “to you.”
