Numbers 28:26

Also in the day of the firstfruits
When the firstfruits of the wheat harvest were brought unto the Lord, which was the day of Pentecost, fifty days from the sheaf of the wave offering being brought:

that is, a meat offering made of the new corn, which were two wave loaves of two tenth deals of fine flour, baked with leaven, ( Leviticus 23:15-17 )

after your weeks be out;
the seven weeks from the passover to Pentecost, even seven complete sabbaths or weeks, ( Leviticus 23:15 )

ye shall have an holy convocation, ye shall do no servile work;
see ( Leviticus 23:21 ) .

24 So ye shall do by each day of [the] seven days, into the nourishing of (the) fire, and into the sweetest odour to the Lord, that shall rise of the burnt sacrifice, and of the moist sacrifices of each offering. (So ye shall offer on each of the seven days, by the nourishing of the fire, to make the sweetest aroma to the Lord, besides the daily burnt sacrifice, with its wine offering.)

28 and in the sacrifices of those ye shall offer three tenth parts of tried flour sprinkled (al)together with oil, by each calf, two tenth parts by the rams, (and with each offering ye shall offer its grain offering of fine flour sprinkled with oil, that is, three tenths of an ephah with each calf, two tenths of an ephah with each ram,)
