“And ye shall offer with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt offering unto the Lord, with their meat offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of sweet savour unto the Lord.”
Present with this bread seven male lambs, each a year old and without defect, one young bull and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the Lord, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings — a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord. The most elaborate offering package in the entire festival calendar: seven lambs, one bull, two rams as burnt offerings with grain and drink offerings. The comprehensiveness of the Feast of Weeks' offering communicates the significance of the wheat harvest's completion. The feast that Acts 2 identifies as the occasion for the Spirit's coming requires the most complete sacrificial celebration in the covenant calendar.
