The Festival of Weeks^(A)

⁹ Count off seven weeks^(B) from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.^{(C) 10} Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a freewill offering in proportion to the blessings the Lord your God has given you. ¹¹ And rejoice^(D) before the Lord your God at the place he will choose as a dwelling for his Name^(E)—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, the Levites^(F) in your towns, and the foreigners,^(G) the fatherless and the widows living among you.^(H)
