11and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.Select Leviticus 23:11

12On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt offering to Yahweh.Select Leviticus 23:12

16even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Yahweh.Select Leviticus 23:16

17You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to Yahweh.Select Leviticus 23:17

18You shall present with the bread seven lambs without defect a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Yahweh.Select Leviticus 23:18

19You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings.Select Leviticus 23:19

28You shall do no kind of work in that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Yahweh your God.Select Leviticus 23:28

29For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off from his people.Select Leviticus 23:29

30Whoever it is who does any kind of work in that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.Select Leviticus 23:30

31You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.Select Leviticus 23:31

40You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God seven days.Select Leviticus 23:40

41You shall keep it a feast to Yahweh seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout your generations. You shall keep it in the seventh month.Select Leviticus 23:41

42You shall dwell in booths seven days. All who are native-born in Israel shall dwell in booths,Select Leviticus 23:42

43that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.’”Select Leviticus 23:43
