Leviticus 23:16-18
New English Translation
16 You must count fifty days—until the day after the seventh Sabbath—and then[a] you must present a new grain offering to the Lord. 17 From the places where you live you must bring two loaves of[b] bread for a wave offering; they must be made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine wheat flour, baked with yeast,[c] as firstfruits to the Lord. 18 Along with the loaves of bread,[d] you must also present seven flawless yearling lambs,[e] one young bull,[f] and two rams.[g] They are to be a burnt offering to the Lord along with their grain offering[h] and drink offerings, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord.[i]

- Leviticus 23:16 tn Heb “and.” In the translation “then” is supplied to clarify the sequence.
- Leviticus 23:17 tc Smr, LXX, Syriac, Tg. Onq., and Tg. Ps.-J. insert the word חַלּוֹת (khallot, “loaves”; cf. Lev 2:4 and the note there). Even though “loaves” is not explicit in the MT, the number “two” suggests that these are discrete units, not just a measure of flour, so “loaves” should be assumed even in the MT.
- Leviticus 23:17 tn Heb “with leaven.” The noun “leaven” is traditional in English versions (cf. KJV, ASV, NASB, NRSV), but “yeast” is more commonly used today.
- Leviticus 23:18 tn Heb “And you shall present on the bread.”
- Leviticus 23:18 tn Heb “seven flawless lambs, sons of a year.”
- Leviticus 23:18 tn Heb “and one bull, a son of a herd.”
- Leviticus 23:18 tc Smr and LXX add “flawless.”
- Leviticus 23:18 tn Heb “and their grain offering.”
- Leviticus 23:18 sn See the note on Lev 1:9.

New International Version
16 Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath,(A) and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord. 17 From wherever you live, bring two loaves made of two-tenths of an ephah(B) of the finest flour, baked with yeast, as a wave offering of firstfruits(C) to the Lord. 18 Present with this bread seven male lambs, each a year old and without defect, one young bull and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the Lord, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings(D)—a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.
