Feast of Weeks
Harvest celebration completing the firstfruits offering, later tied to covenant memory.
Feast of Weeks (Pentecost) is a harvest celebration tied to firstfruits and gratitude. In the New Testament it becomes a key marker for the outpouring of the Spirit, which makes it useful as a bridge between agricultural life and redemptive history.

Scripture
15 "'You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be completed:
16 even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath you shall number fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Yahweh.
10 You shall keep the feast of weeks to Yahweh your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give, according as Yahweh your God blesses you:
1 Now when the day of Pentecost had come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 Suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them.
4 They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.
