*
The LORD said to Moses ,
* "
Say to the people of Israel ,
The appointed feasts of the LORD which you shall proclaim as holy convocations ,
my appointed feasts ,
are these .
*
Six days shall work be done ;
but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest ,
a holy convocation ;
you shall do no work ;
it is a sabbath to the LORD in all your dwellings .
* "
These are the appointed feasts of the LORD ,
the holy convocations ,
which you shall proclaim at the time appointed for them .
*
In the first month ,
on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening ,
is the LORD '
s passover .
*
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread to the LORD ;
seven days you shall eat unleavened bread .
*
On the first day you shall have a holy convocation ;
you shall do no laborious work .
*
But you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD seven days ;
on the seventh day is a holy convocation ;
you shall do no laborious work ."
*
And the LORD said to Moses ,
* "
Say to the people of Israel ,
When you come into the land which I give you and reap its harvest ,
you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest ;
*
and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD ,
that you may find acceptance ;
on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it .
*
And on the day when you wave the sheaf ,
you shall offer a male lamb a year old without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD .
*
And the cereal offering with it shall be two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil ,
to be offered by fire to the LORD ,
a pleasing odor ;
and the drink offering with it shall be of wine ,
a fourth of a hin .
*
And you shall eat neither bread nor grain parched or fresh until this same day ,
until you have brought the offering of your God :
it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings .
* "
And you shall count from the morrow after the sabbath ,
from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering ;
seven full weeks shall they be ,
*
counting fifty days to the morrow after the seventh sabbath ;
then you shall present a cereal offering of new grain to the LORD .
*
You shall bring from your dwellings two loaves of bread to be waved ,
made of two tenths of an ephah ;
they shall be of fine flour ,
they shall be baked with leaven ,
as first fruits to the LORD .
