申命記 16:7-12 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:9-12

The Feast of Weeks, or of Harvest. This Feast of Weeks was not commemorative in the same sense as that of the Passover; it was connected, not with a great national epoch, but with the seasons of the year and the times of harvest. The method in which it was to be observed is stated in Leviticus 23:10 , et seq . We find there, and in the various Scripture references to this festival, the following principles indicated. 1. That the Hebrews were to regard the produce of the soil as... read more

Pentecost, the Feast of Firstfruits. Fifty days after the Passover, or a week of weeks, came the second great national festival, when offerings were presented unto God of the firstfruits of the harvest, and a people already blessed recorded their thankfulness. It was also made a celebration of the giving of the Law from Sinai, which took place, according to calculation, exactly fifty days after the Passover. In consequence of this twofold reference to the harvest and to the giving of the... read more

Pentecost. I. A SACRED RECKONING . " Seven weeks shall thou number," etc. ( Deuteronomy 16:9 ). A week of weeks, seven times seven, hence the name, "Feast of Weeks "( Deuteronomy 16:10 ). The count began with the offering of the sheaf of firstfruits on Nisan 16, the second day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread ( Leviticus 23:11 ). Till that sheaf was offered, no Israelite was permitted to eat of the new corn ( Deuteronomy 16:14 ). With the arrival of the fiftieth day,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:9-17

The Feasts of Weeks and of Tabernacles. For the moral improvement of the Hebrews, it was desirable to keep alive among them the recollection of their early history. Prior to the invention of printing, and when written records would be scarce, memory and affection and conscience were impressed by the annual festivals. The Passover commemorated the national birth; the Feast of Tabernacles commemorated the tent life of the desert. The joys of harvest and of vintage were things unknown in the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Deuteronomy 16:10

This feast was to be kept with sacrificial gifts according to the measure of the free-will offerings of their hand, i . e . voluntary offerings which they gave as the Lord had blessed them; nothing was specially prescribed, each was to give of his own free-will as the Lord had prospered him. The word translated "tribute" in the Authorized Version ( מִסַּת ) occurs only here, and is of doubtful signification. The LXX . render it by καθὼς , as, according to; it is identical with... read more

Rejoice before the Lord. "The expression, to rejoice before the Lord , denotes here nothing else than to honor him by sacred songs; comp. Spencer, 'De Legg. Hebrews Ritual.,' p. 881, edit. 3". In the place which the Lord thy God hath chosen to place his name there ; rather, shall choose , as in verse 15. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 16:1-8

The cardinal point on which the whole of the prescriptions in this chapter turn, is evidently the same as has been so often insisted on in the previous chapters, namely, the concentration of the religious services of the people round one common sanctuary. The prohibition against observing the great Feasts of Passover, Pentecost, and tabernacle, the three annual epochs in the sacred year of the Jew, at home and in private, is reiterated in a variety of words no less than six times in the first... read more

Feast of Weeks; and Deuteronomy 16:13-17, Feast of Tabernacles. Nothing is here added to the rules given in Leviticus and Numbers except the clauses so often recurring in Deuteronomy and so characteristic of it, which restrict the public celebration of the festivals to the sanctuary, and enjoin that the enjoyments of them should be extended to the Levites, widows, orphans, etc. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Deuteronomy 16:7

Deuteronomy 16:7. Thou shalt turn in the morning The words are only a permission, not an absolute command. After the solemnity was over, they might return to their several places of abode. Some think they might return, if they pleased, the very morning after the paschal lamb was killed and eaten, the priests and Levites being sufficient to carry on the rest of the week’s work. But this is evidently a mistake; for the first day of the seven was so far from being the day of their dispersion,... read more
