DEUTERONOMY 16:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.”
You shall count seven weeks; begin to count the seven weeks from the time the sickle is first put to the standing grain — the enumeration from barley harvest (first grain) to Shavuot grounds Israel's religious calendar in agrarian rhythms, linking the Exodus deliverance to the grain harvest's divine blessing.
