Leviticus 23:14
12 On the day you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a year-old lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD,
13 along with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil—an offering made by fire to the LORD, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.
You 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.
15 From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you are to count off seven full weeks.
16 You shall count off fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD.
This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
