Leviticus 23:9-14
1599 Geneva Bible
9 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring [a]a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the Priest,
11 And he shall shake the sheaf before the Lord, that it may be acceptable for you: the morrow after the [b]Sabbath, the Priest shall shake it.
12 And that day when ye shake the sheaf, shall ye prepare a lamb without blemish of a year old, for a burnt offering unto the Lord:
13 And the meat offering thereof shall be two [c]tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, for a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord of sweet savor: and the drink offering thereof the fourth part [d]of an Hin of wine.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread nor parched corn, nor [e]green ears until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: this shall be a Law forever in your generations and in all your dwellings.
