9-12. Seven weeks shalt thou number —The feast of weeks, or a WEEK OF WEEKS: the feast of pentecost (see on :- ; also see Exodus 34:22 ; Acts 2:1 ). As on the second day of the passover a sheaf of new barley, reaped on purpose, was offered, so on the second day of pentecost a sheaf of new wheat was presented as first-fruits ( Exodus 23:16 ; Numbers 28:26 ), a freewill, spontaneous tribute of gratitude to God for His temporal bounties. This feast was instituted in memory of the giving of the law, that spiritual food by which man's soul is nourished ( Numbers 28:26- : ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-13" class="com-number"
