Leviticus 23:5-22 - The Spring Festivals

⁵ In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the evenings, is a Passover unto Yahweh; ⁶ and on the fifteenth day of this month, is the festival of unleavened cakes unto Yahweh, - seven days - unleavened cakes, shall ye eat. ⁷ On the first day - a holy convocation, shall there be to you: no laborious work, shall ye do. ⁸ So then ye shall bring near an altar-flame unto Yahweh, seven days, - on the seventh day, shall there be a holy convocation, no laborious work, shall ye do. ¹⁰ Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them: - When ye enter into the land which, I, am giving you, and ye reap the harvest thereof, then shall ye bring in a sheaf of the first-ripe corn of your harvest, unto the priest; ¹¹ and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, that ye may be accepted, - on the morrow of the sabbath, shall the priest wave it. ¹² And ye shall offer on the day when ye wave the sheaf, a he-lamb without defect, the finest of its year for an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh; ¹³ and the, meal-offering thereof shall be two-tenth parts of fine meal overflowed with oil, as an altar-flame unto Yahweh a satisfying odour, - and, the drink-offering thereof, shall be mine, the fourth of a hin. ¹⁴ And neither bread, nor roasted corn, nor garden-land grain, shall ye eat, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought in the oblation of your God, - an age-abiding statute unto your generations, in all your dwellings.

¹⁵ Then shall ye keep count to yourselves from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day ye brought in the wave sheaf, - seven sabbaths complete, shall there be: ¹⁶ until on the morrow of the seventh sabbath, ye count fifty days, - then shall ye bring near a new meal-offering unto Yahweh. ¹⁷ Out of your dwellings, shall ye bring in two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah, of fine meal, shall they be, with leaven, shall they be baked, - first-fruits unto Yahweh. ¹⁸ Then shall ye bring near with the bread seven he-lambs without defect of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams, - they shall be an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, an altar-flame of satisfying odour unto Yahweh. ¹⁹ Then shall ye offer one he-goat, as a sin-bearer, - and two he-lambs, of the first year, as a peace-offering. ²⁰ And the priest shall wave them, with the firstfruits bread, as a wave-offering before Yahweh, with the two he-lambs, - holy, shall they be unto Yahweh, for the priest. ²¹ And ye shall make proclamation on this self-same day - a holy convocation, shall it be unto you; no laborious work, shall ye do, - an age-abiding statute in all your dwellings, unto your generations. ²² And, when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly clear the border of thy field when thou reapest, and, the gleanings of thy field, shalt thou not glean, - for the poor and for the sojourner, shalt thou leave them. I - Yahweh, am your God.
