Then shall ye keep count to yourselves from the morrow of the sabbath, from the day ye brought in the wave sheaf, - seven sabbaths complete, shall there be:

until on the morrow of the seventh sabbath, ye count fifty days, - then shall ye bring near a new meal-offering unto Yahweh.

Out of your dwellings, shall ye bring in two wave loaves of two-tenths of an ephah, of fine meal, shall they be, with leaven, shall they be baked, - first-fruits unto Yahweh.

Then shall ye bring near with the bread seven he-lambs without defect of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams, - they shall be an ascending-sacrifice unto Yahweh, with their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings, an altar-flame of satisfying odour unto Yahweh.

Then shall ye offer one he-goat, as a sin-bearer, - and two he-lambs, of the first year, as a peace-offering.

And the priest shall wave them, with the firstfruits bread, as a wave-offering before Yahweh, with the two he-lambs, - holy, shall they be unto Yahweh, for the priest.

And ye shall make proclamation on this self-same day - a holy convocation, shall it be unto you; no laborious work, shall ye do, - an age-abiding statute in all your dwellings, unto your generations.

And, when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly clear the border of thy field when thou reapest, and, the gleanings of thy field, shalt thou not glean, - for the poor and for the sojourner, shalt thou leave them. I - Yahweh, am your God.
