Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

On the first day you shall have a holy convocation; you shall do no labor of work.

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you come into the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest;

he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.

And when you have counted for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, the day that you bring the sheaf of the wave offering, seven Sabbaths shall be completed.

You shall count seven weeks for yourself; begin to count the seven weeks from when you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain.

At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. And His disciples were hungry, and began to pluck heads of grain and to eat.

But He said to them, Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him:

Or have you not read in the Law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?

But if you had known what this means, I desire mercy and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless.

Now it happened that He went through the grainfields on the Sabbath; and as they went His disciples began to pluck the heads of grain.

But He said to them, Have you never read what David did when he was in need and hungry, he and those with him:

And He said to them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.

When you come into your neighbor's standing grain, you may pluck the heads with your hand, but you shall not swing a sickle into your neighbor's standing grain.
