Leviticus 23:15-22

LEVITICUS—NOTE ON Leviticus 23:15 The Feast of Weeks is also called the “Feast of Harvest” (Exodus 23:16) and “the day of the firstfruits” (Numbers 28:26). In the NT it is called “Pentecost” (Acts 2:1). This celebration recognizes the Lord as provider of the harvest, who deserves the first of all produce.
