On the day of firstfruits

on Numbers 28:26-31

This feast has no date in any month, since Leviticus 23:15-16 places it by counting: "You shall count off fifty days". Acts 2:1 has the disciples together "When the day of Pentecost came".

as a pleasing aroma to the LORD

Jamieson, Fausset and Brown read this as an added sacrifice, laid beside the offering that went with the loaves of firstfruits at Leviticus 23:18. Albert Barnes notes that the two lists nearly agree without matching exactly. Both passages stand side by side.
