16. Even unto the marrow after the seventh week be expired, that is to say, fifty days, and so you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord.

17. Out of all your dwellings, two leaves of the firstfruits, of two tenths of flour leavened, which you shall bake for the firstfruits of the Lord.

18. And you shall offer with the leaves seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one calf from the herd, and two rams, and they shall be for a holocaust with their libations far a most sweet odour to the Lord.

19. You shall offer also a buck goat for sin, and two lambs of the first year for sacrifices of peace offerings.

20. And when the priest hath lifted them up with the leaves of the firstfruits before the Lord, they shall fall to his use.

21. And you shall call this day most solemn, and most holy. You shall do no servile work therein. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwellings and generations.

22. And when you reap the corn of your land, you shall not cut it to the very ground: neither shall you gather the ears that remain; but you shall leave them for the poor and for the strangers. I am the Lord your God.

23. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

24. Say to the children of Israel: The seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall keep a sabbath, a memorial, with she sound of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.

25. You shall do no servile work therein, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

26. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

27. Upon the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement, it shall be most solemn, and shall be called holy: and you shall afflict your souls on that day, and shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.

28. You shall do no servile work in the time of this day: because it is a day of propitiation, that the Lord your God may be merciful unto you.

29. Every soul that is not afflicted on this day, shall perish from among his people:

30. And every soul that shall do any work, the same will I destroy from among his people.
