In Leviticus 23, what feast comes after the Feast of First Fruits?
Leviticus 23 moves from the Feast of First Fruits to the next feast, Pentecost. It was to be counted seven complete sabbaths, 49 days, then the next day, making 50 days after Passover. Pentecost became one of the seven feasts of Jehovah practiced yearly in Israel.
Les explains that after the Feast of First Fruits in Leviticus chapter 23, the next feast is the Day of Pentecost. He points out that it was to be 50 days after Passover, counted from the morrow after the sabbath, with seven sabbaths complete—49 days—and then the next day, making 50. The word Pentecost arises from that fiftieth day, and it became a feast day. It was one of the seven feasts of Jehovah that was practiced year in and year out throughout Israel’s history.
