Leviticus 23:15-22
Lexham English Bible

The Feast of Weeks

15 “‘And you shall count for yourselves from the day after[a] the Sabbath, from the day of your bringing the wave offering’s sheaf—there shall be seven full weeks. 16 Until the day after[b] the seventh Sabbath you shall count fifty days; then[c] you shall present a new grain offering for Yahweh. 17 You shall bring from your dwellings for a wave offering two loaves of bread made with[d] two-tenths of an ephah[e] of finely milled flour; they must be baked with leaven—the firstfruits belonging to[f] Yahweh. 18 And, in addition to the bread, you shall present seven yearling[g] male lambs without defects and one young bull[h] and two rams—they shall be a burnt offering for Yahweh with[i] their grain offering and their libations, an offering made by fire, an appeasing fragrance for Yahweh. 19 And you shall offer[j] one he-goat as a sin offering and two yearling[k] male lambs as a sacrifice of fellowship offerings. 20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits as a wave offering before[l] Yahweh; in addition to the two male lambs, they shall be holy for Yahweh for the priest. 21 And you shall make a proclamation[m] on this very same day;[n] it shall be a holy assembly for you; you shall not do any regular work;[o] this is a lasting statute[p] in all your dwellings throughout[q] your generations. 22 And when you[r] reap the harvest of your[s] land, you[t] must not finish the edge of your[u] field at your reaping, and you[v] must not glean the remnants of your[w] harvest—you[x] shall leave them behind for the needy and for the alien; I am Yahweh your[y] God.’”

Leviticus 23:15-22
Common English Bible

15 You must count off seven weeks starting with the day after the Sabbath, the day you bring the bundle for the uplifted offering; these must be complete. 16 You will count off fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you must present a new grain offering to the Lord. 17 From wherever you live, you will bring two loaves of bread as an uplifted offering. These must be made of two-tenths of an ephah of choice flour, baked with leaven, as early produce[a] to the Lord. 18 Along with the bread you must present seven flawless one-year-old lambs, one bull from the herd, and two rams. These will be an entirely burned offering to the Lord, along with their grain offerings and drink offerings, as a food gift of soothing smell to the Lord. 19 You must also offer one male goat as a purification offering and two one-year-old lambs as a communal sacrifice of well-being. 20 The priest will lift up the two sheep, along with the bread of the early produce, as an uplifted offering before the Lord. These will be holy to the Lord and will belong to the priest. 21 On that very same day you must make a proclamation; it will be a holy occasion for you. You must not do any job-related work. This is a permanent rule wherever you live throughout your future generations. 22 When you harvest your land’s produce, you must not harvest all the way to the edge of your field; and don’t gather every remaining bit of your harvest. Leave these items for the poor and the immigrant; I am the Lord your God.
