SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:9
Siete semanas te contarás; desde que comenzare la hoz en las mieses comenzarás a contar las siete semanas.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 9. Seven weeks then shalt thou number unto thee , etc.] And then another feast was to take place, called from hence the feast of weeks, and sometimes Pentecost, from its being the fiftieth day: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn ; for the sheaf of the wave offering, as the first fruits of barley harvest, which was done on the morrow after the sabbath in the passover week, and from thence seven weeks or fifty days were reckoned, and the fiftieth day was the feast here ordered to be kept; so the Targum of Jonathan, “after the reaping of the sheaf ye shall begin to number seven weeks;” (see Leviticus 23:15).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-17 - The laws for the three yearly feasts are here repeated; that of the Passover, that of the Pentecost, that of Tabernacles; and the genera law concerning the people's attendance. Never should a believer forge his low estate of guilt and misery, his deliverance, and the price i cost the Redeemer; that gratitude and joy in the Lord may be mingle with sorrow for sin, and patience under the tribulations in his way to the kingdom of heaven. They must rejoice in their receivings from God and in their returns of service and sacrifice to him; our duty must be our delight, as well as our enjoyment. If those who were under the la must rejoice before God, much more we that are under the grace of the gospel; which makes it our duty to rejoice evermore, to rejoice in the Lord always. When we rejoice in God ourselves, we should do what we can to assist others also to rejoice in him, by comforting the mourners and supplying those who are in want. All who make God their joy, ma rejoice in hope, for He is faithful that has promised.
