Leviticus 23:4,5
These are the feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their
seasons.
In the fourteenth day of the first month at even is the LORD'S passover.
Leviticus 23:6-8
And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD:
seven days ye must eat unleavened bread. In the first day ye shall have an holy
convocation: ye shall do no servile work therein. But ye shall offer an offering made by
fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation: ye shall do no
servile work therein.
Leviticus 23:9-16
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto
them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest
thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after
the sabbath the priest shall wave it. And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf
an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD. And the
meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering
made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of
wine, the fourth part of an hin. And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor
green ears, until the selfsame day that ye have brought an offering unto your God: it
shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. And ye
shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the
sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall be complete: Even unto the morrow after
the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meat offering
unto the LORD.
