Also in the day of the firstfruits, etc.] When the firstfruits of the wheat harvest were brought unto the Lord, which was the day of Pentecost, fifty days from the sheaf of the wave offering being brought: when ye bring a new meat offering unto the Lord; that is, a meat offering made of the new corn, which were two wave loaves of two tenth deals of fine flour, baked with leaven, (<032315>Leviticus 23:15-17) after your weeks be out; the seven weeks from the passover to Pentecost, even seven complete sabbaths or weeks, (<032315>Leviticus 23:15) ye shall have an holy convocation, ye shall do no servile work; (see <032321> Leviticus 23:21). Ver. 27-30. But ye shall offer the burnt offering for a sweet savour unto the Lord, etc.] Which was of the same kind, and was of the same number of creatures as on the first day of the month, and on the seven days of unleavened bread, (<042811>Numbers 28:11,19,24), and the meat offering which went along with this was of the same quantity of flour to each creature as in the above mentioned sacrifices; and on this day also was offered a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and there were also peace offerings which are not mentioned here, nor is there any mention of any in the whole chapter; (see <032319>Leviticus 23:19).
