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 Vocês não poderão comer pão algum, nem cereal tostado, nem cereal novo, até o dia em que trouxerem essa oferta ao Deus de vocês. Este é um decreto perpétuo para as suas gerações, onde quer que morarem.

15 “A partir do dia seguinte ao sábado, o dia em que vocês trarão o feixe da oferta ritualmente movida, contem sete semanas completas.

16 Contem cinquenta dias, até um dia depois do sétimo sábado, e então apresentem uma oferta de cereal novo ao SENHOR.

17 Onde quer que morarem, tragam de casa dois pães feitos com dois jarros da melhor farinha, cozidos com fermento, como oferta movida dos primeiros frutos ao SENHOR.

18 Junto com os pães apresentem sete cordeiros, cada um com um ano de idade e sem defeito, um novilho e dois carneiros. Eles serão um holocausto ao SENHOR, com as suas ofertas de cereal e ofertas derramadas; é oferta preparada no fogo, de aroma agradável ao SENHOR.
