<b>after the seventh</b> complete <b>week,</b> that is, until the fiftieth day, which is the festival of Shavuot. <b>On the fiftieth day, you shall bring from the new</b> wheat harvest a <b>flour-offering to the Lord. From</b> the wheat that grew in <b>your settled places</b> in the Land of Israel, <b>you shall make two</b> loaves of <b>bread</b> from wheat that has been <b>raised</b> above the rest of the crop and bring them as an offering. They <b>shall be made of two tenths</b> of an eifah (approx. 4 kg/9 lb) <b>of fine</b> wheat <b>flour, and they shall be baked into leavened</b> bread. This shall be the <b>first</b> flour-offering for <b>the Lord</b> from the new wheat harvest. Together with the two loaves of <b>bread, you should offer seven</b> unblemished lambs that are less than a year old, <b>one young bull, and two rams. Each of them shall be a burnt-offering to the Lord;</b> they shall all be offered <b>along with</b> their prescribed flour-offerings <b>and wine offerings as a pleasing fire-offering to the Lord.</b> In addition, on Shavuot <b>you should offer one</b> male goat as <b>a sin-offering and two</b> unblemished <b>lambs</b> that are less than a year old <b>as a peace-offering to God. And the Kohen shall wave</b> the above mentioned <b>two lambs along with</b> the first bread offering—the two loaves—as a <b>waved offering before the Lord. They shall be holy to the Lord and</b> given to the <b>Kohen</b> to eat. <b>And you shall call this very day,</b> the fiftieth day from the day of the Omer-offering, <b>a day of holy gathering for you—</b>the Festival of Shavuot. <b>You may not do any work. This shall be an everlasting law</b> that applies throughout all <b>your settlements,</b> even outside the Land of Israel, and for all <b>your</b> future <b>generations. When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not completely remove the crop of the corner of your field</b> while harvesting, <b>nor shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest</b> that have fallen from your hand. Rather, <b>you shall leave them for the poor</b> people and for the <b>convert</b> who has no family to support him. <b>I am the Lord, your God,</b> who rewards those who fulfill My commandments.
