20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before[a] Yahweh; in addition to the two male lambs, they shall be holy for Yahweh for the priest. 21 And you shall make a proclamation[b] on this very same day;[c] it shall be a holy assembly for you; you shall not do any regular work;[d] this is a lasting statute[e] in all your dwellings throughout[f] your generations. 22 And when you[g] reap the harvest of your[h] land, you[i] must not finish the edge of your[j] field at your reaping, and you[k] must not glean the remnants of your[l] harvest—you[m] shall leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I am Yahweh your[n] God.’”
