seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall
offer a new meat offering unto the LORD. Ye shall bring
out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth
deals: they shall be of fine flour; they shall be baken
with leaven; they are
the firstfruits unto the LORD. And ye
shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish
of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams:
they shall be for a burnt offering unto the LORD, with
their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an
offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the LORD.
Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin
offering, and two lambs of the first year for a
sacrifice of peace offerings.
And the priest shall
wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave
offering before the LORD, with the two
lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest."
