Leviticus 23:4-14 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

4. These are the festivals of the Lord, holy days which you shall declare at their proper time.

5. The Passover of the Lord falls on the fourteenth day of the first month, at the evening twilight.

6. The fifteenth day of this month is the Lord’s feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

7. On the first of these days you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work.

8. On each of the seven days you shall offer an oblation to the Lord. Then on the seventh day you will have a declared holy day; you shall do no heavy work.

9. The Lord said to Moses:

10. Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you come into the land which I am giving you, and reap its harvest, you shall bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest,

11. who shall elevate the sheaf before the Lord that it may be acceptable on your behalf. On the day after the sabbath the priest shall do this.

12. On this day, when your sheaf is elevated, you shall offer to the Lord for a burnt offering an unblemished yearling lamb.

13. Its grain offering shall be two tenths of an ephah of bran flour mixed with oil, as a sweet-smelling oblation to the Lord; and its libation shall be a fourth of a hin of wine.

14. You shall not eat any bread or roasted grain or fresh kernels until this day, when you bring the offering for your God. This shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations wherever you dwell.
