7 aOn the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no1 customary work on it.
8 But you shall offer an offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it.’ ”
The Feast of Firstfruits
9 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
10 “Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: a‘When you come into the land which I give to you, and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf of bthe firstfruits of your harvest to the priest.
11 He shall awave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
12 And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the Lord.
13 Its grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord, for a1 sweet aroma; and its drink offering shall be of wine, one-fourth of a hin.
