Leviticus 23:9-14
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.

World English Bible
9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest. 11 He shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt offering to Yahweh. 13 The meal offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah[a] of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.[b] 14 You must not eat bread, or roasted grain, or fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
