"Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, 'When ye be come into the land which I give unto you and reap down your harvest, ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the priest, and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD to be accepted for you: and even the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
And thou shalt come unto the priest that shall be in those days and say unto him, 'I knowledge this day unto the LORD thy God, that I am come unto the country which the LORD sware unto our fathers for to give us.' And the priest shall take the maund out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of the LORD thy God.
