Leviticus 23:9-14
New English Translation

The Presentation of Firstfruits

9 The Lord spoke to Moses: 10 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them, ‘When you enter the land that I am about to give to you and you gather in its harvest,[a] then you must bring the sheaf of the first portion of your harvest[b] to the priest, 11 and he must wave the sheaf before the Lord to be accepted for your benefit[c]—on the day after the Sabbath the priest is to wave it.[d] 12 On the day you wave the sheaf you must also offer[e] a flawless yearling lamb[f] for a burnt offering to the Lord, 13 along with its grain offering, two-tenths of an ephah of[g] choice wheat flour[h] mixed with olive oil, as a gift to the Lord, a soothing aroma,[i] and its drink offering, one-fourth of a hin of wine.[j] 14 You must not eat bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until this very day,[k] until you bring the offering to your God. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations[l] in all the places where you live.

International Standard Version

First Fruit Offerings

9 The Lord told Moses, 10 “Tell the Israelis that when you enter the land that I’m about to give you and gather its produce, you are to bring a sheaf from the first portion of your harvest to the priest, 11 who will offer the sheaf in the Lord’s presence for your acceptance. The priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath. 12 On the day you wave the sheaf, you are to offer a one year old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering in the Lord’s presence. 13 Also present a meal offering of two tenths of a measure of[a] fine flour mixed with olive oil as an offering made by fire to the Lord, a pleasing aroma. Now as to a drink offering, you are to present a fourth of a hin[b] of wine. 14 You are not to eat bread, parched grain, or fresh grain until that day[c] when you’ve brought the offering of your God. This is to be[d] an eternal ordinance throughout your generations, wherever you live.”
