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".

each of the seven lambs
Each lamb again takes its own tenth of an ephah, the same scale used three times in this chapter. Matthew Henry comments on the size of the harvest offering. When God sows plentifully on His people, he says, He expects to reap accordingly from them.
