Leviticus 23:9-14

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Festival of Firstfruits

⁹ The Lord told Moses ¹⁰ to speak to the people of Israel and tell them this:

When you enter the land that I am giving to you and you reap its harvest, and when you bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest ¹¹ so that he may wave the sheaf before the Lord so that you will be accepted, the priest shall wave it on the day after the Sabbath. ¹² On the day that you wave the sheaf, you shall offer as a burnt offering to the Lord a lamb without blemish, one year old. ¹³ The grain offering accompanying it is to be four quarts^[a] of fine wheat flour mixed with oil, a gift to the Lord, a pleasing aroma. The drink offering accompanying it shall be a quart^[b] of wine. ¹⁴ You shall not eat any of this year’s bread or roasted grain or fresh ears until this very day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a permanent regulation throughout your generations in all the places you live.
