Leviticus 23:15-18

Good News Translation

The Harvest Festival^(A)

^15 (B)Count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath on which you bring your sheaf of grain to present to the Lord. ¹⁶ On the fiftieth day, the day after the seventh Sabbath, present to the Lord another new offering of grain. ¹⁷ Each family is to bring two loaves of bread and present them to the Lord as a special gift. Each loaf shall be made of four pounds of flour baked with yeast and shall be presented to the Lord as an offering of the first grain to be harvested. ¹⁸ And with the bread the community is to present seven one-year-old lambs, one bull, and two rams, none of which may have any defects. They shall be offered as a burnt offering to the Lord, along with a grain offering and a wine offering. The odor of this offering is pleasing to the Lord.
