'These are the ^(C1)appointed times of the LORD, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at the times appointed for them.

'^(C1)In the ^(F1)first month, on the fourteenth day of the month ^(F2)at twilight is the LORD'S Passover.

'Then on the fifteenth day of the same month there is the ^(C1)Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD; for seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

'On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall ^(C1)not do any laborious work.

'But for seven days you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD. On the seventh day is a holy convocation; you shall not do any laborious work.'"

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

"Speak to the sons of Israel and say to them, 'When you enter the land which I am going to give to you and you ^(C1)gather its harvest, then you shall bring in the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.

'He shall wave the sheaf before the LORD for you to be accepted; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.

'Now on the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb one year old without defect as a burnt offering to the LORD.

'Its ^(C1)grain offering shall then be ^(F1)two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering by fire to the LORD for a soothing aroma, with its drink offering, a ^(F2)fourth of a hin of wine.

'Until this very day, until you have brought in the offering of your God, ^(C1)you shall eat neither bread nor roasted grain nor new produce. It is to be a permanent statute throughout your generations in all your dwelling places.
