Commentary on Deuteronomy 16:9

Theological / Devotional

Seven weeks. See Lev. 23:15. This expression gives the name “feast of weeks” to this festival (see on Deut. 16:10). By the Jews of the Dispersion it was later called “Pentecost” (Acts 2:1).

Begin to number. These seven weeks began at the time of the barley harvest (see Joshua 3:15; 5:10; see also Lev. 23:15).
