Leviticus 23:4-14 Modern English Version (MEV)

4. These are the appointed feasts of the Lord, holy convocations which you shall proclaim in their appointed times.

5. On the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the Lord’s Passover.

6. On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.

7. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.

8. But you shall offer a food offering made by fire to the Lord for seven days. On the seventh day is a holy convocation. You shall do no regular work.

9. The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

10. Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you have come into the land that I am giving to you and reap its harvest, then you shall bring a sheaf bundle of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest.

11. And he shall wave the sheaf before the Lord so that you may be accepted. On the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.

12. You shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf a year-old male lamb without blemish for a burnt offering to the Lord.

13. The grain offering shall be two-tenths of an ephah of wheat flour mixed with oil, a food offering made by fire to the Lord for a pleasing aroma; its drink offering shall be of wine, a fourth of a hin.

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