Leviticus 23:14-16
New English Translation

14 You must not eat bread, roasted grain, or fresh grain until this very day,[a] until you bring the offering to your God. This is a perpetual statute throughout your generations[b] in all the places where you live.

The Feast of Weeks

15 “‘You must count for yourselves seven weeks from the day after the Sabbath, from the day you bring the wave offering sheaf; they must be complete weeks.[c] 16 You must count fifty days—until the day after the seventh Sabbath—and then[d] you must present a new grain offering to the Lord.

Footnotes

  1. Leviticus 23:14 tn Heb “until the bone of this day.”
  2. Leviticus 23:14 tn Heb “for your generations.”
  3. Leviticus 23:15 tn Heb “seven Sabbaths, they shall be complete.” The disjunctive accent under “Sabbaths” precludes the translation “seven complete Sabbaths” (as NASB, NIV; cf. NAB, NRSV, NLT). The text is somewhat awkward, which may explain why the LXX tradition is confused here, either adding “you shall count” again at the end of the verse, or leaving out “they shall be,” or keeping “they shall be” and adding “to you.”
  4. Leviticus 23:16 tn Heb “and.” In the translation “then” is supplied to clarify the sequence.
