15 “You are to count seven[a] complete weeks[b](A) starting from the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the presentation offering.(B) 16 You are to count 50 days until the day after the seventh Sabbath and then present an offering of new grain[c] to the Lord. 17 Bring two loaves of bread from your settlements as a presentation offering, each of them made from four quarts[d] of fine flour, baked with yeast, as firstfruits(C) to the Lord. 18 You are to present with the bread seven unblemished male lambs a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the Lord, with their grain offerings and drink offerings, a fire offering of a pleasing aroma to the Lord. 19 You are also to prepare one male goat as a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old as a fellowship sacrifice. 20 The priest will wave the lambs with the bread of firstfruits as a presentation offering before the Lord; the bread and the two lambs will be holy to the Lord for the priest. 21 On that same day you are to make a proclamation and hold a sacred assembly. You are not to do any daily work. This is to be a permanent statute wherever you live throughout your generations.
