Leviticus 23:15-16
Leviticus 23:15-16 outlines the instructions for the Feast of Weeks, also known as Shavuot. This festival occurs seven weeks after the Passover and is a time for celebrating the harvest. The Israelites are commanded to count seven full weeks from the day after the Sabbath during Passover.
On the fiftieth day, the people are to present a grain offering to God. This offering consists of two loaves of bread made from the new grain, symbolizing the first fruits of the harvest. This celebration emphasizes gratitude for the bounty provided by God and the importance of community.
