Reader! is it not a subject of heartfelt satisfaction, and demanding a most grateful acknowledgment to our GOD, that as the observance of the Passover happened at the very time JESUS our Passover was offered upon the cross; so the feast of weeks, which represented the outpouring of the HOLY GHOST, happened at the very time when the blessed SPIRIT came down at first in an open display at the day of Pentecost, upon the minds of the Apostles and first followers of the LORD? Could anything more decidedly point out the wisdom of GOD in this ordination? See Luke 22:1 compared with Acts 2:1.
Deuteronomy 16:9-12
9 Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.
10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the LORD thy God with a tributeb of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto the LORD thy God, according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.
12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.
