Also in the day of the firstfruits, when ye bring a new meat offering unto the LORD, after your weeks be completed, ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work — The Festival of Firstfruits (Shavuot, Weeks) is placed fifty days after Passover, marked by the bringing of the first grain harvest to the LORD. The new grain offering acknowledges that all fertility comes from the LORD's hand. The second generation will inhabit a land where the agricultural cycle is sanctified.
