You are not to do any work; it is a sabbath to the Lord in all your dwellings. 4 These are the Lord's appointed festivals, the holy assemblies, which you must proclaim at their appointed times: 5 The Lord's Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. 6 On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread to the Lord. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. 7 On the first day, hold a holy assembly; you must not do any regular work. 8 For seven days you are to present a fire offering to the Lord.

This is a perpetual statute for your generations in all your dwellings. 15 You shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, seven full weeks shall be counted. 16 Until the day after the seventh Sabbath, you shall count fifty days; then you shall present a new grain offering to the Lord. 17 Bring from your dwellings two loaves of bread as a wave offering, made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour and baked with leaven, as firstfruits to the Lord.
