Contextual Overview

1 "Remember the month of Abib and keep the Passover to the Lord your God. For the Lord your God brought you out of Egypt during the night in the month of Abib. 2 Give the Passover gift to the Lord your God from the flock and the cattle, in the place where the Lord chooses to put His name. 3 Do not eat bread made with yeast. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, the bread of sorrow, because you came out of the land of Egypt in a hurry. So all the days of your life you will remember the day when you came out of the land of Egypt. 4 For seven days there is to be no yeast around in all your land. And none of the flesh you give in worship on the evening of the first day will be kept through the night until morning. 5 You are not allowed to give the Passover gift in any of your towns the Lord your God gives you. 6 But give it at the place where the Lord your God chooses to put His name. You must kill the Passover gift in the evening when the sun goes down, at the time that you came out of Egypt. 7 Make it ready and eat it in the place the Lord your God chooses. Then return to your tents in the morning. 8 For six days eat bread made without yeast. On the seventh day there will be a holy meeting to the Lord your God. Do no work on this day. 9 "Number seven weeks. Begin to number seven weeks from the time you begin to cut the standing grain. 10 Then keep the Special Supper of Weeks to the Lord your God by giving a free-will gift. Give as the Lord your God has given to you.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Seven weeks then shalt thou number unto thee,.... And then another feast was to take place, called from hence the feast of weeks, and sometimes Pentecost, from its being the fiftieth day:

begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn; for the sheaf of the wave offering, as the first fruits of barley harvest, which was done on the morrow after the sabbath in the passover week, and from thence seven weeks or fifty days were reckoned, and the fiftieth day was the feast here ordered to be kept; so the Targum of Jonathan,

"after the reaping of the sheaf ye shall begin to number seven weeks;''

see Leviticus 23:15.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Feast of Weeks; and Deuteronomy 16:13-17, Feast of Tabernacles. Nothing is here added to the rules given in Leviticus and Numbers except the clauses so often recurring in Deuteronomy and so characteristic of it, which restrict the public celebration of the festivals to the sanctuary, and enjoin that the enjoyments of them should be extended to the Levites, widows, orphans, etc.
