The counting signifies a period of anticipation and preparation, linking the liberation from Egypt (Passover) to the giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai (Shavuot). The number fifty is significant in biblical numerology, often symbolizing completion and fulfillment, as seen in the Jubilee year (<a href="/leviticus/25-10.htm">Leviticus 25:10</a>).<p><b>until the day after the seventh Sabbath</b><br>The "seventh Sabbath" indicates a complete cycle of weeks, emphasizing the importance of the Sabbath as a day of rest and spiritual reflection. This period culminates in Shavuot, which is celebrated on the fiftieth day. The timing underscores the connection between the physical liberation from slavery and the spiritual liberation through receiving God's law. The Sabbath is a recurring theme in Scripture, representing God's creation rest (<a href="/genesis/2-2.htm">Genesis 2:2-3</a>) and a future rest for God's people (<a href="/hebrews/4-9.htm">Hebrews 4:9-10</a>).<p><b>and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD</b><br>This offering, known as the "firstfruits," is a thanksgiving for the harvest and a recognition of God's provision. It involves bringing the first and best of the wheat harvest to the temple, symbolizing trust in God's continued provision. The offering of new grain is a type of Christ, who is referred to as the "firstfruits" of those who have fallen asleep (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-20.htm">1 Corinthians 15:20</a>), indicating His resurrection as the first of many who will be raised. The act of presenting the offering reflects the principle of giving God the first and best of what we have, a theme echoed throughout Scripture (<a href="/proverbs/3-9.htm">Proverbs 3:9-10</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The prophet and leader of the Israelites who received the laws from God, including the instructions in Leviticus.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God who were given these laws to follow as part of their covenant relationship with Him.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/m/mount_sinai.htm">Mount Sinai</a></b><br>The place where Moses received the Law from God, including the instructions for the Feast of Weeks.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/f/feast_of_weeks.htm">Feast of Weeks (Shavuot/Pentecost)</a></b><br>A significant Jewish festival occurring fifty days after Passover, marking the end of the grain harvest and the giving of the Law at Sinai.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The God of Israel who commands the observance of these feasts as a sign of His covenant with His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/c/counting_the_days.htm">Counting the Days</a></b><br>The practice of counting fifty days (the Omer) teaches patience and anticipation.
