Blessed are You, O LORD our God, King of the universe

Blessed are You, O LORD, giver of the Torah

• Exodus 19:1-20:23
• Numbers 28:26-31

You are to count seven weeks; you are to begin counting seven weeks from the time you first put your sickle to the standing grain. You are to observe the festival of Shavu`ot [weeks] for Adonai your God with a voluntary offering, which you are to give in accordance with the degree to which Adonai your God has prospered you. You are to rejoice in the presence of Adonai your God – you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, the L’vi’im living in your towns, and the foreigners, orphans and widows living among you – in the place where Adonai your God will choose to have his name live.
(Deuteronomy 16:9-11 CJB)
