Deuteronomy 16:10

_SEVEN WEEKS SHALT THOU NUMBER UNTO THEE: BEGIN TO NUMBER THE SEVEN WEEKS FROM SUCH TIME AS THOU BEGINNEST TO PUT THE SICKLE TO THE CORN._ Seven weeks shalt thou number - the feast of weeks, or a WEEK OF WEEKS; the feast of Pentecost (see the notes at Exodus 34:22; Leviticus 23:10; Acts 2:1). As on the second day of the Passover, a sheaf of new barley, reaped on purpose, was brought into the sanctuary and presented as a thank offering to God, so on the second day of Pentecost a sheaf of new wheat was presented as first-fruits (Exodus 23:16; Numb

Never should a believer forget his low estate of guilt and misery, his deliverance, and the price it cost the Redeemer; that gratitude and joy in the Lord may be mingled with sorrow for sin, and patience under the tribulations in his way to the kingdom of heaven. They must rejoice in their receivings from God, and in their returns of service and sacrifice to him; our duty must be our delight, as well as our enjoyment. If those who were under the law must rejoice before God, much more we that are under the grace of the gospel; which makes it our duty to rejoice evermore, to rejoice in the Lord always. When we rejoice in God ourselves, we should do what we can to assist others also to rejoice in him, by comfo...

Feast of Weeks; and Deuteronomy 16:13, Feast of Tabernacles. Nothing is here added to the rules given in Leviticus and Numbers except the clauses so often recurring in Deuteronomy and so characteristic of it, which restrict the public celebration of the festivals to the sanctuary, and enjoin that the enjoyments of them should be extended to the Levites, widows, orphans, etc....

AND THOU SHALL KEEP THE FEAST OF WEEKS UNTO THE LORD THY GOD,.... The feast of Pentecost, at which time the Spirit was poured down upon the apostles, Acts 2:1 WITH A TRIBUTE OF A FREEWILL OFFERING OF THINE HAND; there were two wave loaves which were ordered to be brought and seven lambs, one young bullock and two rams for a burnt offering, together with the meat and drink offerings belonging thereunto, and a kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs for a peace offering, Leviticus 23:17, and besides all this, there was to be a voluntary contribution brought in their hands; for this was one of those feasts at which all the males were to appear before the Lord, and none of them empty: WHICH THOU SHALT GIVE unto the Lord thy God, according as the Lord

The Feast of Weeks To be joyfully celebrated after seven weeks from the beginning of harvest, with free-will offering, by each Israelite, along with his household and the local Levites and other poor at the One Altar (Deuteronomy 16:9-11). Whether Deuteronomy 16:12 is original is doubtful; see below. For corresponding laws in other codes see introd. to Deuteronomy 16:1. This is the only feast not associated in the O. T. with a memorable event in Israel's history. Later Judaism assigned to it the giving of the Law on Sinai....

(2) PENTECOST (Deuteronomy 16:9-12) 9 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the standing grain shalt thou begin to number seven weeks. 10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto Jehovah thy God with a tribute of a freewill-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give, according as Jehovah thy God blesseth thee: 11 and thou shalt rejoice before Jehovah thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the sojourner, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which Jehovah thy God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there. 12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
