were all with one accord in a Festival of Weeks (Shavuot). Wikipedia:
It marks...the day the Torah was given to the Jewish people at Mount Sinai.
Torah mandates the seven-week Counting of the Omer, beginning on the second day of Passover and immediately followed by Shavuot.
This counting of days and weeks is understood to express anticipation and desire for the Giving of the Torah.
Shavuot has many aspects and as a consequence is called by several names:
Festival of Weeks, Exodus 34:22, Deuteronomy 16:10;
Festival of Reaping, Exodus 23:16;
Day of the First Fruits, Numbers 28:26
Since Shavuot occurs 50 days after Passover, Christians gave it the name Pentecost
(πεντηκοστή, short for ἡ π. ἡμέρα, the fiftieth day, is fem. inflection of πεντηκοστός, fiftieth [πεντήκοντα, fifty]) | ||
