Leviticus 23:16-18
New English Translation
16 You must count fifty days—until the day after the seventh Sabbath—and then[a] you must present a new grain offering to the Lord. 17 From the places where you live you must bring two loaves of[b] bread for a wave offering; they must be made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine wheat flour, baked with yeast,[c] as firstfruits to the Lord. 18 Along with the loaves of bread,[d] you must also present seven flawless yearling lambs,[e] one young bull,[f] and two rams.[g] They are to be a burnt offering to the Lord along with their grain offering[h] and drink offerings, a gift of a soothing aroma to the Lord.[i]

- Leviticus 23:16 tn Heb “and.” In the translation “then” is supplied to clarify the sequence.
- Leviticus 23:17 tc Smr, LXX, Syriac, Tg. Onq., and Tg. Ps.-J. insert the word חַלּוֹת (khallot, “loaves”; cf. Lev 2:4 and the note there). Even though “loaves” is not explicit in the MT, the number “two” suggests that these are discrete units, not just a measure of flour, so “loaves” should be assumed even in the MT.
