Bible Question:
Pentecost took place fifty days after passover. why did they have pentecost,what for and when did they have the fist pentecost happen. |
Bible Answer: 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. |
