Leviticus 23:12 In-Context

10 "Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When you enter the land I am giving you and reap its harvest, you are to bring the first sheaf of your harvest to the priest.

11 He will wave the sheaf before the Lord so that you may be accepted; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.

12 On the day you wave the sheaf, you are to offer a year-old male lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the Lord.

13 Its grain offering is to be four quarts of fine flour mixed with oil as a fire offering to the Lord, a pleasing aroma, and its drink offering will be one quart of wine.

14 You must not eat bread, roasted grain, or [any] new grain until this very day, and you have brought the offering of your God. This is to be a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you live.
