The harvest celebration

Deu 16:9–12

Exo 34:22–22

Lev 23:15–21

9You must count off seven weeks starting from when the very first harvesting of grain begins.[ref] 10Then celebrate the ‘Festival of Weeks’[fn] to honour your god Yahweh by contributing a freewill offering acknowledging however much he has blessed you. 11You 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. 12Always remember that you were a slave in Egypt, so carefully follow those instructions.


16:10 Also known as the ‘Harvest Festival’ or ‘Pentecost’ (relating to the fifty days = seven weeks plus one day).


22In the spring when you begin to harvest the first wheat crop, you must have a Celebration of Weeks, and at the end of the year in the autumn, have a Finished Harvest Celebration.[ref]


15Then count seven rest days from the day after you brought the bundle of grain as a wave offering—seven full weeks.[ref] 16Then that next day will make fifty days, and then you all must present a new grain offering to Yahweh. 17From your homes, each family must bring two loaves of bread baked with a rising agent, as a firstfruits offering to Yahweh. 18Along with the bread, you all must present seven year-old male lambs without defects, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their associated grain and drink offerings—a gift with a pleasing aroma for Yahweh. 19You all must also offer a male goat as a sin offering and two one-year-old male lambs as a peace offering. 20The priest must raise them along with the firstfruits bread as a wave offering in front of Yahweh, with the two lambs. They will become sacred to Yahweh, but for the priest to eat. 21You all must proclaim a sacred assembly that same day—you mustn’t do any regular work. That is a permanent rule that will continue throughout the generations no matter where you live.

No regular work may be done that day.[ref] 27You all must present a burnt offering that’s a pleasing aroma for Yahweh, presenting two young bulls, one ram, and seven one-year-old male lambs. 28Their associated grain offerings will be three kilograms of fine flour mixed with olive oil for each bull, two kilograms for the ram, 29and one kilogram for each of the lambs. 30Also for your sins, sacrifice one male goat to make yourselves right with God. 31Those offerings along with their drink offerings must be offered in addition to the regular burnt offering and drink offerings. Ensure that they have no defects.

That’s a permanent rule that will continue throughout the generations. 42You all must live in shelters for seven days—all you native-born Israelis, 43so that the future generations will know that I made their ancestors live in shelters when I brought them out of Egypt (Heb. Mitsrayim). I am your god Yahweh.
