Timing of the festivals of Firstfruits & Shavuot — Journey Into the Wilderness of Zin

Richard Agee

There are three primary ways Judaism and Christianity use to determine when Shavuot — Hebrew for “weeks,” “sevens” or Sabbaths — will come. Richard considers another possiblity related to encampments the people of Israel during their exodus from slavery in Egypt leading up to their receiving the 10 Commandments from God at Mt. Sinai. The number of encampments after the people went through the sea and escaped Pharaoh’s army, the connection of those encampments with the weekly Shabbat (seeExodus 16) and the potential for a mistranslation of “day after the Sabbath” and “after the Sabbath, on the first day of the week” suggests that Yeshua’s resurrection and Shavuot came on weekly Shabbats. This isn’t just esoteric Bible-babbling. This connection to the Shabbat has an important bearing on what God is trying to teach with the festivals of Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits and Shavuot.

Yeshua fulfills Pesakh completely

Yeshua our Passover: Filling the memorial full of meaning

At the time of the Exodus, YHWH (God’s personal name in Hebrew, often translated as “the LORD”) told the people of Israel to have a “lamb for a household” (Exodus 12:3). Usually 10 people could manage to consume a whole lamb. Smaller groups joined together to form a chaverim, Hebrew for “a group of friends,” and that formed a mishpokhah, “a family group.” Paul talks about believers being the “household of God” (1st Timothy 3:15) because there is a “lamb for the household.”
