Today’s topic:

Feast of Weeks

A Sabbath, a holy convocation

I am Yehovah your God

60 times in the Gospels and letters it uses the word Sabbath

In TaNaKh there are 111 matches for Sabbath

Exod. 20

the 4^th commandment

[8] Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

[9] Six days shall you labor, and do all your work:

[10] But the seventh day is the Sabbath of Yehovah your God:

in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates:

[11] For in six days Yehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day:

wherefore Yehovah blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

Lev.23

[1] And Yehovah spoke unto Moses, saying,

[2] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

Concerning the feasts of Yehovah, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are My feasts.

[3] Six days shall work be done:

but the seventh day is the Sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; you shall do no work therein: it is the Sabbath of Yehovah in all your dwellings.

[4] These are the feasts of Yehovah, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their seasons.

[9] And Yehovah spoke unto Moses, saying,

[10] Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them,

When you be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof,

then you shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest unto the priest:

[11] And he shall wave the sheaf before Yehovah,

to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.

[12] And you shall offer that day when you wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto Yehovah.

[13] And the meat offering thereof shall be two tenth deals of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto Yehovah for a sweet savor:

and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.

[14] And you shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, until the selfsame day that you have brought an offering unto your God:

it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.

[15] And you shall count unto you from the morrow after the Sabbath,

from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering;

seven Sabbaths shall be complete:

[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh Sabbath shall you number fifty days;

and you shall offer a new meat offering unto Yehovah.

[17] You shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth deals: they shall be of fine flour;

they shall be baken with leaven; they are the first fruits unto Yehovah.

[18] And you shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams:

they shall be for a burnt offering unto Yehovah, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savor unto Yehovah.

[19] Then ye shall sacrifice one kid of the goats for a sin offering, and two lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

[20] And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before Yehovah, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to Yehovah for the priest.

[21] And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you:

you shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

**

This is the first Sabbath of the seven Sabbaths we were told to count

Remember:

We are counting the "Sabbaths" not omers

Let’s review again:

Lev. 23 [15] And you shall count unto you from the morrow

after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering;

seven Sabbaths shall be complete:

[16] Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall you number fifty days;

and you shall offer a new meat offering unto Yehovah.

In closing for today:

By the way, we kept again the feast of unleavened bread, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness;

but with sincerity and truth

Soon:

Feast of Weeks – Pentecost (50) - the Feast of Harvest which is always on Sunday

We will be in the third month of God called Sivan   סִיוָן

May 18 – Sivan 1, feast of weeks May 24 – Sivan 7

Thanks for joining us, may God bless you

Shabbat Shalom
