15. You must count off seven weeks starting with the day after the Sabbath, the day you bring the bundle for the uplifted offering; these must be complete.
16. You will count off fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you must present a new grain offering to the Lord.
17. From wherever you live, you will bring two loaves of bread as an uplifted offering. These must be made of two-tenths of an ephah of choice flour, baked with leaven, as early produce to the Lord.
18. Along with the bread you must present seven flawless one-year-old lambs, one bull from the herd, and two rams. These will be an entirely burned offering to the Lord, along with their grain offerings and drink offerings, as a food gift of soothing smell to the Lord.
19. You must also offer one male goat as a purification offering and two one-year-old lambs as a communal sacrifice of well-being.
20. The priest will lift up the two sheep, along with the bread of the early produce, as an uplifted offering before the Lord. These will be holy to the Lord and will belong to the priest.
21. On that very same day you must make a proclamation; it will be a holy occasion for you. You must not do any job-related work. This is a permanent rule wherever you live throughout your future generations.
22. When you harvest your land’s produce, you must not harvest all the way to the edge of your field; and don’t gather every remaining bit of your harvest. Leave these items for the poor and the immigrant; I am the Lord your God.
23. The Lord said to Moses:
24. Say to the Israelites: On the first day of the seventh month, you will have a special rest, a holy occasion marked by a trumpet signal.
25. You must not do any job-related work, and you must offer a food gift to the Lord.
26. The Lord said to Moses:
27. Note that the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Reconciliation. It will be a holy occasion for you. You must deny yourselves and offer a food gift to the Lord.
28. You must not do any work that day because it is a Day of Reconciliation to make reconciliation for you before the Lord your God.
29. Anyone who does not deny themselves on that day will be cut off from their people.
30. Moreover, I will destroy from their people anyone who does any work on that day.
31. You must not do any work! This is a permanent rule throughout your future generations wherever you live.
