9 You must count off seven weeks starting from when the very first harvesting of grain begins.[ref] 10 Then celebrate the ‘Festival of Weeks’[fn] to honour your god Yahweh by contributing a freewill offering acknowledging however much he has blessed you. 11 You should celebrate in Yahweh’s presence, along with your children and your servants, and any Levites living in your town, and the foreigners, orphans, and widows living among you. Take your offerings to the place that your god Yahweh will choose to attach his name to. 12 Always remember that you were a slave in Egypt, so carefully follow those instructions.
