Se’if 1א׳

בְּלֵיל שֵׁנִי אַחַר תְּפִלַּת עַרְבִית מַתְחִילִין לִסְפֹּר הָעֹמֶר, וְאִם שָׁכַח לִסְפֹּר בִּתְחִלַּת הַלַּיְלָה הוֹלֵךְ וְסוֹפֵר כָּל הַלַּיְלָה. וּמִצְוָה עַל כָּל אֶחָד לִסְפֹּר לְעַצְמוֹ. וְצָרִיךְ לִסְפֹּר מְעֻמָּד וּלְבָרֵךְ תְּחִלָּה. וְסוֹפֵר הַיָּמִים וְהַשָּׁבוּעוֹת. כֵּיצַד, בַּיּוֹם הָרִאשׁוֹן אוֹמֵר: הַיּוֹם יוֹם אֶחָד בָּעֹמֶר, עַד שֶׁמַּגִּיעַ לְשִׁבְעָה יָמִים וְאָז יֹאמַר: הַיּוֹם שִׁבְעָה יָמִים שֶׁהֵם שָׁבוּעַ אֶחָד בָּעֹמֶר, וּבְיוֹם שְׁמִינִי יֹאמַר: הַיּוֹם שְׁמוֹנָה יָמִים שֶׁהֵם שָׁבוּעַ אֶחָד וְיוֹם אֶחָד בָּעֹמֶר, וְכֵן עַד שֶׁיַּגִּיעַ לְאַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר יֹאמַר: הַיּוֹם אַרְבָּעָה עָשָׂר יָמִים שֶׁהֵם שְׁנֵי שָׁבוּעוֹת בָּעֹמֶר, וְעַל דֶּרֶךְ זֶה מוֹנֶה וְהוֹלֵךְ עַד מ"ט יוֹם.

On the second night after the evening prayer, we begin to count the Omer. And if someone forgot to count, [that one may count] from the beginning of the evening onwards. He may account all night. It is a mitzvah for each person to count for themselves. He needs to count standing and bless before. He should count the days and weeks. How? On the first day he should say “today is day one of the Omer”, until he arrives to seven days. [At which point he should say], “they are one week of the Omer.” And on the eighth day he should say “today is eight days and they are one week and one day of the Omer.” And also, when he arrives to the 14th day, he should say “today is 14 days, they are two weeks of the Omer.” And in this way he should count and onwards until the 49th day.

Se’if 2ב׳

אִם טָעוּ בְּיוֹם הַמְּעֻנָּן וּבֵרְכוּ עַל סְפִירַת הָעֹמֶר, חוֹזְרִים לִסְפֹּר כְּשֶׁתֶּחְשַׁךְ. וְהַמְדַקְדְּקִים אֵינָם סוֹפְרִים עַד צֵאת הַכּוֹכָבִים, וְכֵן רָאוּי לַעֲשׂוֹת.

If they (the people who are counting) made a mistake on a cloudy day and they blessed on the counting of the Omer, they should go back to count when it got dark. Those who are punctilious, they do not count until the stars come out [namely, three stars], and this is a proper thing to do.

Se’if 3ג׳

הַמִּתְפַּלֵּל עִם הַצִּבּוּר מִבְּעוֹד יוֹם, מוֹנֶה עִמָּהֶם בְּלֹא בְּרָכָה. וְאִם יִזְכֹּר בְּלַיְלָה יְבָרֵךְ וְיִסְפֹּר. הַגָּה: וַאֲפִלּוּ עָנָה אָמֵן עַל בִּרְכַּת הַקָּהָל, אִם הָיָה דַּעְתּוֹ שֶׁלֹּא לָצֵאת, יַחֲזֹר וִיבָרֵךְ וְיִסְפֹּר בַּלַּיְלָה (בֵּית יוֹסֵף בְּשֵׁם רַשְׁבָּ"א).

The one who prays with the community during the day, he should count with them without a blessing. And if he remembers at night, she should bless and count. GLOSS: And even if he answered “amen” to the blessing of the community, if he had the awareness that he was not fulfilled [of his obligation], he may go back and he may bless and count that night.
