Levítico 23:16 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:16

Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath
Or weeks, forty nine days being counted, the following was the fiftieth day, or Pentecost:

shall ye number fifty days;
from whence this feast had the name of Pentecost, ( Acts 2:1 ) ; all in Israel were obliged to number those days, except women and servants ^F20: the manner of doing it was this ^F21; on the night of the second (day of the passover), after the evening prayer, they began to number; but if anyone forgot to number at the beginning of the night, he went and numbered all the night; for the commandment is for everyone to number by himself, and he ought to number standing, and to bless first, and number the days and weeks: How? on the first day he says, This is one day, until he comes to seven days, and then he says, This is the seventh day, which is one week; and on the eighth day he says, This is the eighth day, which is one week and one day, and so till he comes to the fourteenth; then he says, This is the fourteenth day, which make two weeks; and in this way he numbers, and goes on until the forty ninth day: and ye shall offer a new meat offering unto the Lord; that is, of new corn, as the Targum of Jonathan and Jarchi explain it, and this was of wheat; for it was the offering for the wheat harvest, which was offered on the fiftieth day from the offering of the sheaf or omer of the barley harvest.

Levítico 23:16 In-Context

14 E não comereis pão, nem trigo torrado, nem espigas verdes, até aquele mesmo dia, em que trouxerdes a oferta do vosso Deus; é estatuto perpétuo pelas vossas gerações, em todas as vossas habitações

15 Contareis para vós, desde o dia depois do sábado, isto é, desde o dia em que houverdes trazido o molho da oferta de movimento, sete semanas inteiras;

16 até o dia seguinte ao sétimo sábado, contareis cinqüenta dias; então oferecereis nova oferta de cereais ao Senhor.

17 Das vossas habitações trareis, para oferta de movimento, dois pães de dois décimos de efa; serão de flor de farinha, e levedados se cozerão; são primícias ao Senhor.

18 Com os pães oferecereis sete cordeiros sem defeito, de um ano, um novilho e dois carneiros; serão holocausto ao Senhor, com as respectivas ofertas de cereais e de libação, por oferta queimada de cheiro suave ao Senhor.
