Translation commentary on Leviticus 23:14

Neither bread nor grain parched or fresh: Good News Translation has reorganized the elements in this part of the verse, but all the meaning is present and it is quite natural.

The offering: this refers to the burnt offering (verse 12), which is also accompanied by a grain offering and a drink offering.

A statute for ever throughout your generations: see 3.17 and 10.9.

In all your dwellings: this is left implicit in the Good News Translation rendering of this verse. See verse 3, where it is fully translated.
