The Feast of Weeks

¹⁵ “‘Count seven full weeks from the morning after the Sabbath. (This is the Sabbath that you bring the bundle of grain to present as an offering.) ¹⁶ On the fiftieth day, the first day after the seventh week, you will bring a new grain offering to the Lord. ¹⁷ On that day bring two loaves of bread from your homes to be presented as an offering. Use yeast and four quarts of flour to make those loaves of bread; they will be your gift to the Lord from the first wheat of your harvest.

¹⁸ “‘Offer with the bread one young bull, two male sheep, and seven male lambs that are one year old and have nothing wrong with them. Offer them with their grain offerings and drink offerings, as a burnt offering to the Lord. They will be an offering made by fire, and the smell will be pleasing to the Lord. ¹⁹ You must also offer one male goat for a sin offering and two male, one-year-old lambs as a fellowship offering.

²⁰ “‘The priest will present the two lambs as an offering before the Lord, along with the bread from the first wheat of the harvest. They are holy to the Lord, and they will belong to the priest. ²¹ On that same day you will call a holy meeting; you must not do any work that day. This law will continue for you from now on, wherever you live.

²² “‘When you harvest your crops on your land, do not harvest all the way to the corners of your field. If grain falls onto the ground, don’t gather it up. Leave it for poor people and foreigners in your country. I am the Lord your God.’”
