This site's exposition
in the day of the firstfruits
on Numbers 28:26-31
This feast carries no date in any month. It is placed by counting, after your weeks be out, which Leviticus 23:15-16 measures as fifty days from the sheaf of the wave offering, and it is the one appointment in the chapter fixed by a tally rather than by a day of the month. Acts 2:1 has the disciples together when that counted day was fully come. The chapter closes here, and the offerings of the seventh month, the trumpets, the day of atonement and the booths, are held over to chapter 29.
