The Feast of Weeks

⁹ “^(A)You shall count seven weeks for yourself; you shall begin to count seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain. ¹⁰ Then you shall ^[a]celebrate the Feast of Weeks to Yahweh your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give just as Yahweh your God blesses you; ¹¹ and you shall ^(B)be glad before Yahweh your God, you and your son and your daughter and your male and female slaves and ^(C)the Levite who is within your gates and ^(D)the sojourner and the ^[b]orphan and the widow who are in your midst, in the place where Yahweh your God chooses for His name to dwell. ^12 (E)And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt, and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.
