Leviticus 23:9-14

The LORD's Appointed Times: Holy Time, Sacred Assembly, Harvest, Atonement, and Covenant Remembrance

The LORD commands Moses to announce His appointed festivals as sacred assemblies. The weekly Sabbath is established first. Then the annual calendar unfolds: Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, the Festival of Weeks, the Feast of Trumpets, the Day of Atonement, and the Festival of Tabernacles. The chapter concludes by summarizing the appointed offerings and commanding Israel to live in booths so future generations remember that the LORD made Israel dwell in temporary shelters when He brought them out of Egypt.

9And the LORD said to Moses,

10“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘When you enter the land that I am giving you and you reap its harvest, you are to bring to the priest a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest.

11And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD so that it may be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.

12On the day you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a year-old lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD,

13along with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil—a food offering to the LORD, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.

14You must not eat any bread or roasted or new grain until the very day you have brought this offering to your God. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.

Two-tenths of an ephah is approximately 4 dry quarts or 4.4 liters (probably about 5.1 pounds or 2.3 kilograms of flour); also in verse 17.
A quarter hin is approximately 0.97 quarts or 0.92 liters of wine.
