Leviticus
23:9-22 HCSB The LORD spoke to
Moses: 10 "Speak to the Israelites and tell them:
When you enter the land I am giving you and reap its harvest, you are to bring
the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest.
11 He will wave
the sheaf before the LORD so that you may be accepted; 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 year-old male
lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD. 13 Its grain offering is to be four
quarts of fine flour mixed with oil as a fire offering to the LORD, a pleasing
aroma, and its drink offering will be one quart of wine. 14 You must not eat bread, roasted grain,
or any new grain until this very day, and you have brought the offering
of your God. This is to be a permanent statute throughout your generations
wherever you live. 15 "You
are to count seven complete weeks starting from the day after the Sabbath, the
day you brought the sheaf of the presentation offering. 16 You are to count 50 days until the day
after the seventh Sabbath and then present an offering of new grain to the
LORD. 17 Bring
two loaves of bread from your settlements as a presentation offering, each of
them made from four quarts of fine flour, baked with yeast, as firstfruits to the LORD.
18 You are to present with the bread
seven unblemished male lambs a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They
will be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their grain offerings and drink
offerings, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the LORD. 19 You are also to prepare one male goat
as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a fellowship
sacrifice. 20 The
priest will wave the lambs with the bread of firstfruits as a presentation offering before the LORD; the
bread and the two lambs will be holy to the LORD for the priest. 21 On that same day you are to make a
proclamation and hold a sacred assembly. You are not to do any daily work. This
is to be a permanent statute wherever you live throughout your
generations. 22 When
you reap the harvest of your land, you are not to reap all the way to the edge
of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor
and the foreign resident; I am the LORD your God."
