“And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed Sabbaths.Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to YAHUAH.” (Lev/Way. 23:15,16)
“Count seven weeks for yourself.Begin to count seven weeks from the time you begin to put the sickle to the grain.”(Deut/Deb. 16:9)

YAHUAH, the Compassionate One, May He return for us the service of the Set-Apart Place to its place speedily and in our days. So be it; Selah.
We beg You, YAH, with the strength of Your right hand’s greatness, untie the bundled sins. Accept the prayer of Your nation; strengthen us, purify us, O Awesome One. Please, O Strong One—those who foster Your Oneness, guard them like the apple of an eye. Bless them, purify them, show them pity, may Your righteousness always recompense them. Powerful, Set-Apart One, with Your abundant goodness guide Your congregation. One and only Exalted One, turn to Your nation, which proclaims Your set-apartness. Accept our entreaty and hear our cry, O YAHUAH, Knower of mysteries. Blessed is the Name of His esteemed Sovereignty forever and ever.
O YAHUAH, Master of the universe, You commanded us through Mosheh, Your servant, to count the Omer Count in order to cleanse us from our encrustations of evil and from our contaminations, as You have written in Your Torah: ‘And from the morrow after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you shall count for yourselves: seven completed Sabbaths. Until the morrow after the seventh Sabbath you count fifty days, then you shall bring a new grain offering to YAHUAH,’ (Lev 23:15-16) so that the beings of Your people Yisra’el be cleansed from their contamination. Therefore, in Your abundant kindness, YAHUAH our Elohim and the Elohim of our forefathers, may You forgive me of all my sins, pardon my crookednesses, and atone for my transgressions by the blood of YAHUSHUAH. May You correct whatever blemish I have caused within my being. May I be cleansed and set apart with the Set-Apartness of Above. May You correct our lives, spirits, and beings from all sediment and blemish; may You wash us with Your Word and cleanse us with the blood of our Messiah YAHUSHUAH and set us apart with Your exalted set-apartness. In the Name of YAHUSHUAH HaMashiach of Natsareth, Son of the Living Elohim, so be it, Selah!
