The First of the Harvest

⁹ The Lord said to Moses, ¹⁰ “Tell the ·people [^Lsons; children] of Israel: ‘You will enter the land I will give you and gather its harvest. At that time you must bring the first bundle of grain from your harvest to the priest. ¹¹ The priest will ·present [wave] the bundle before the Lord, and it will be accepted for you; he will ·present [wave] the bundle on the day after the Sabbath.

¹² “‘On the day when you ·present [wave; 23:15] the bundle of grain, offer a male lamb, one year old, that ·has nothing wrong with it [is perfect], as a burnt offering [1:1–17] to the Lord. ¹³ You must also offer a ·grain [^Lgift; tribute] offering [2:1]—·four quarts [^Ltwo tenths of an ephah] of ·fine [choice] flour mixed with olive oil as an offering made by fire to the Lord; its smell will be pleasing to him. You must also offer ·a quart [^Lone-fourth of a hin] of wine as a drink offering. ¹⁴ Until the day you bring your offering to your God, do not eat any new grain, roasted grain, or bread made from new grain. This ·law [statute; ordinance; requirement] will always continue ·for people from now on [^Lthroughout your generations], wherever you live [Ex. 23:16; Num. 28:26–31; Deut. 16:9–12].
