You are to count
The Hebrew root for "count" is "סָפַר" (safar), which means to recount or number. This command to count emphasizes the intentionality and mindfulness required in observing God's appointed times. It is a call to be attentive and deliberate in our spiritual journey, marking each day as significant in our walk with God.

fifty days
The number fifty is significant in biblical numerology, often symbolizing liberation and new beginnings. It is the culmination of the seven weeks of counting, known as the Counting of the Omer, leading to the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost. This period is a time of anticipation and preparation, reflecting the journey from Passover to the giving of the Torah at Sinai, and in the New Testament, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

until the day after the seventh Sabbath
The phrase "the day after the seventh Sabbath" indicates the completion of a cycle of seven weeks. The Sabbath is a day of rest and spiritual renewal, and the completion of seven Sabbaths signifies a period of fullness and completion. This timing underscores the importance of rest and reflection in the rhythm of life, leading to a time of celebration and offering.

and then present
The act of presenting is an act of worship and obedience. The Hebrew word "קָרַב" (qarab) means to draw near or approach. This is not merely a ritualistic act but a heartfelt offering, symbolizing the worshiper's desire to draw near to God and acknowledge His provision and blessings.

an offering of new grain
The "new grain" offering, or "בִּכּוּרִים" (bikkurim), represents the firstfruits of the harvest. It is an expression of gratitude and trust in God's continued provision. Offering the first and best to God is a principle that runs throughout Scripture, reminding believers to prioritize God in all aspects of life and to recognize Him as the source of all blessings.

to the LORD
The phrase "to the LORD" signifies that the offering is dedicated to Yahweh, the covenant-keeping God of Israel. It is a reminder of the relationship between God and His people, a relationship based on His faithfulness and their response of worship and obedience. This offering is not just a religious duty but an act of love and devotion to the One who sustains and redeems.

(16) Even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath.--That is, the day after the seven complete weeks, or the fiftieth day. Hence its name, "Pentecost, or fiftieth-day" feast in the New Testament (Acts 2:1; Acts 20:16; 1Corinthians 16:8), and "feast of weeks" in the Old Testament (Exodus 34:12; Deuteronomy 16:10; Deuteronomy 16:16; 2Chronicles 8:13). The fiftieth day, according to the Jewish canons, may fall on the 5th, 6th, or 7th of Sivan, the third month of the year, i.e., from the new moon of May to the new moon of June. . . .
