Leviticus 23:5-22 - The Spring Festivals
5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, is LORD's Passover. 6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to LORD. Ye shall eat unleavened bread seven days. 7 In the first day ye shall have a holy convocation. Ye shall do no servile work. 8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire to LORD seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation, ye shall do no servile work.
9 And LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 10 Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest of it, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest. 11 And he shall wave the sheaf before LORD, to be accepted for you. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb without blemish a year old for a burnt-offering to LORD. 13 And the meal-offering of it shall be two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to LORD for a sweet savor. And the drink-offering of it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin. 14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched grain, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your God. It is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 And ye shall count to you from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-offering, there shall be complete seven Sabbaths. 16 Ye shall number fifty days, even to the morrow after the seventh Sabbath, and ye shall offer a new meal-offering to LORD. 17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave-loaves of two tenth parts [of an ephah]. They shall be of fine flour. They shall be baked with leaven, for first-fruits to LORD. 18 And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish a year old, and one young bullock, and two rams. They shall be a burnt-offering to LORD, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, even an offering made by 19 And ye shall offer one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace-offerings. 20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits for a wave-offering before LORD, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to LORD for the priest. 21 And ye shall make proclamation on the selfsame day, there shall be a holy convocation to you. Ye shall do no servile work. It is a statute forever in all your dwellings throughout your generations. 22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shall not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shall thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest. Thou shall leave them for the poor man, and for the sojourner. I am LORD your Go
