“And ye shall proclaim on the selfsame day, that it may be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work therein: it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.”
On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly and do no regular work. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come, wherever you live. The Feast of Weeks is a sacred assembly with no regular work — a Sabbath-level rest that matches the opening and closing days of the Festival of Unleavened Bread. The lasting ordinance and wherever you live formulas make the Feast of Weeks permanently binding across every generation and location. The Pentecost that Acts 2 describes is the fulfillment of the lasting ordinance of Leviticus 23:21: the appointed time for meeting with God produces the most significant meeting in the new covenant's inauguration.
