The Festival of Weeks^(A)

¹⁵ “‘From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks. ¹⁶ Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath,^(B) and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord. ¹⁷ From wherever you live, bring two loaves made of two-tenths of an ephah^(C) of the finest flour, baked with yeast, as a wave offering of firstfruits^(D) to the Lord. ¹⁸ Present with this bread seven male lambs, each a year old and without defect, one young bull and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the Lord, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings^(E)—a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord. ¹⁹ Then sacrifice one male goat for a sin offering^[a] and two lambs, each a year old, for a fellowship offering. ²⁰ The priest is to wave the two lambs before the Lord as a wave offering,^(F) together with the bread of the firstfruits. They are a sacred offering to the Lord for the priest. ²¹ On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly^(G) and do no regular work.^(H) This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live.

²² “‘When you reap the harvest^(I) of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest.^(J) Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you.^(K) I am the Lord your God.’”

The Festival of Weeks^(A)

⁹ Count off seven weeks^(B) from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.^{(C) 10} Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you. ¹¹ And rejoice^(D) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name^(E)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, the Levites^(F) in your towns, and the foreigners,^(G) the fatherless and the widows living among you.^{(H) 12} Remember that you were slaves in Egypt,^(I) and follow carefully these decrees.
