Leviticus 23:11

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.

14 You shall eat neither bread nor parched grain nor fresh grain until the same day that you have brought an offering to your God; it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
