Leviticus 23:9-14
Modern English Version

Offering the First Fruits

9 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: 10 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you have come into the land that I am giving to you and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf bundle of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest. 11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord so that you may be accepted. On the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 You shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf a year-old male lamb without blemish for a burnt offering to the Lord. 13 The grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah[a] of wheat flour mixed with oil, a food offering made by fire to the Lord for a pleasing aroma; its drink offering shall be of wine, a fourth of a hin.[b] 14 You shall eat neither bread nor grain, parched or fresh, until the same day that you have brought an offering to your God. It shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

Lexham English Bible

The Feast of Firstfruits

9 Then[a] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the Israelites,[b] and say to them, ‘When you come to the land that I am about to give to you and you reap its harvest, then[c] you shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruit of your harvest to the priest. 11 And he shall wave the sheaf before[d] Yahweh for your acceptance; the priest shall wave it on the day after[e] the Sabbath. 12 And on the day of your waving the sheaf you shall offer[f] a yearling[g] male lamb without defect as a burnt offering to Yahweh. 13 And its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah[h] of finely milled flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire for Yahweh, an appeasing fragrance; and its libation shall be a fourth of a hin[i] of wine. 14 And you shall not eat bread or[j] roasted grain or[k] ripe grain until this very same day,[l] until you present your God’s offering. This must be a lasting statute[m] for your generations in all your dwellings.
