Deuteronomy 16:9-11

New International Reader's Version

The Feast of Weeks

⁹ Count off seven weeks from the time you begin to cut your grain in the field. ¹⁰ Then celebrate the Feast of Weeks to honor the Lord your God. Give to the Lord anything you choose to give as an offering. Give, just as the Lord has given to you. ¹¹ Be filled with joy in the sight of the Lord your God. Be joyful at the special place he will choose for his Name. You, your children, and your male and female servants should be joyful. So should the Levites living in your towns. So should the outsiders and widows living among you. And so should the children whose fathers have died.
