1 | Acts 2:1 | Lev 23:15 | Gerhard Ebersöhn | 219101 | ||
"when did they have the fist pentecost happen"? The very first pentecost of course was after no harvest, Israel having roamed the wilderness but fifty days after the exodus! But God bestowed on Israel the harvest of His Own Labours with His Presence at mount Sinai or Horeb, and three days after, Shavuot gave them the Law. The Jews do not make this distinction; they assimilate the giving of the Law and the Presence of the LORD (in Person). It is another question which canoot be discussed here for lack of space and time, as well as relevancy, I guess. |

2 | Acts 2:1 | Lev 23:15 | Gerhard Ebersöhn | 219100 | ||
Pentecost was the 'fiftieth day' after "the sabbath" of the passover. "The sabbath" of the passover was the second day of the 'eight-days-feast' or 'season', of passover which began on the 14th day of the First Month ('Abib' / 'Nisan') "when they always had to slaughter the passover (sacrifice)". The 15th day began after sunset in "that night" that began the second day of the passover but first day of the "Feast of Unleavened Bread" of the passover. "On the fifteenth day must you eat unleavened bread until the twenty first day .... from the first day until the seventh day" Ex12:18b,15c. The first day unleavend bread was eaten was "the sabbath", Lv23:11,15. "From the day after the sabbath", i.e., from and including Abib 16, seven 'sabbaths' or weeks of seven days each "must you count", and the day after the last of these 'weeks' - the fiftieth day - was 'Shavuot' or 'fiftieth' or 'pentecost'. Abib 16 and "The First Sheaf Wave Offering Before the LORD" marked the beginning of the winter-harvest, and Pentecost marked its completion with an offering of two leavened LOAVES made from the new harvest. |
