What did God give Israel after they came out of Egypt?

After Israel came out of Egypt, God gave them the Law, the Tabernacle Worship, and the Feast Days, including Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits. These instructions were given as they were being taught at Leviticus 23, with the Feast of First Fruits tied to the barley harvest.

Les explains that Israel, having just come out of Egypt, was being instructed by God. God gave them the Law, the Tabernacle Worship, and the Feast Days. The Feast Days include Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits. The Feast of First Fruits came around the barley harvest, the small grain that was ripe first and earliest in spring. The Jews still celebrate these Feast Days today, perhaps under a slightly different setting. Leviticus 23:10 says that when they come into the land and reap the harvest, they shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits to the priest.
