¹ And the Lord said to Moses,

^{2 Ref} Say to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts.

^{3 Ref} On six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a special day of rest, a time for worship; you may do no sort of work: it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you may be living.

^{4 Ref} These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will keep at their regular times.

^{5 Ref} In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at nightfall, is the Lord's Passover;

^{6 Ref} And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread.

^{7 Ref} On the first day you will have a holy meeting; you may do no sort of field-work.

⁸ And every day for seven days you will give a burned offering to the Lord; and on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.

⁹ And the Lord said to Moses,

^{10 Ref} Say to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits of the grain to the priest;

^{11 Ref} And let the grain be waved before the Lord, so that you may be pleasing to him; on the day after the Sabbath let it be waved by the priest.

^{12 Ref} And on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord.

^{13 Ref} And let the meal offering with it be two tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet smell; and the drink offering with it is to be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

^{14 Ref} And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.

^{15 Ref} And let seven full weeks be numbered from the day after the Sabbath, the day when you give the grain for the wave offering;

^{16 Ref} Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.

^{17 Ref} Take from your houses two cakes of bread, made of a fifth part of an ephah of the best meal, cooked with leaven, to be waved for first-fruits to the Lord.
