Context
The Festival of Weeks
23:15 “‘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 .
23:16 You must count fifty days – until the day after the seventh Sabbath – and then you must present a new grain offering to the Lord .
23:17 From the places where you live you must bring two loaves of bread for a wave offering ; they must be made from two tenths of an ephah of fine wheat flour , baked with yeast , as first fruits to the Lord .
23:18 Along with the loaves of bread , you must also present seven flawless yearling lambs , one young bull , and two rams . They are to be a burnt offering to the Lord along with their grain offering and drink offerings , a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord .
23:19 You must also offer one male goat for a sin offering and two yearling lambs for a peace offering sacrifice ,
23:20 and the priest is to wave them– the two lambs – along with the bread of the first fruits , as a wave offering before the Lord ; they will be holy to the Lord for the priest .
23:21 “‘On this very day you must proclaim an assembly; it is to be a holy assembly for you. You must not do any regular work . This is a perpetual statute in all the places where you live throughout your generations .
23:22 When you gather in the harvest of your land , you must not completely harvest the corner of your field , and you must not gather up the gleanings of your harvest . You must leave them for the poor and the foreigner . I am the Lord your God .’”
