16 ⁹ "You shall count seven weeks; begin to count the seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain. 16 ¹⁰ Then you shall keep the feast of weeks to Yahweh your God with the tribute of a freewill offering from your hand, which you shall give as Yahweh your God blesses you; 16 ¹¹ and you shall rejoice before Yahweh your God, you and your son and your daughter, your manservant and your maidservant, the Levite who is within your towns, the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow who are among you, at the place which Yahweh your God will choose, to make his name dwell there. 16 ¹² You shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt; and you shall be careful to observe these statutes.
