Exodus 23:16-17 (NKJV) 16 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them. 17 So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Leviticus 23:15-16 (NKJV) 15 And you shall count for yourselves from the day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: seven Sabbaths shall be completed. 16 Count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall offer a new grain offering to the L-RD. This is the 41 st day, making six weeks and six days of the Omer. Ezekiel 37:4 (NKJV) 4 Then he said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, Dry bones, hear the word of the L-RD! Ezekiel 37: 7-9 (NKJV) 7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, Prophesy to the breath I.

Day 47 Exodus 19:7-8 (NKJV) 7 So Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and laid before them all these words which the L-RD commanded him. 8 Then all the people answered together and said, All that the L-RD has spoken we will do.

Day 48-49-50 Exodus 19:9-11 (NKJV) 9 And the L-RD said to Moses, Behold, I come to you in the thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you forever.

For on the third day the L-RD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people. Exodus 19:16 (NKJV) Then it came to pass on the third day, in the morning, that there were thunderings and lightnings, and a thick cloud on the mountain; and the sound of the trumpet was very loud, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. Exodus 19:18-19 (NKJV) 18 Now Mount Sinai was completely in smoke, because the L-RD descended upon it in fire. Its smoke ascended like the
3 smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked greatly. 19 And when the blast of the trumpet sounded long and became louder and louder, Moses spoke, and G-d answered him by voice. I am the L-RD your G-d, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other G-ds before Me. (Exodus 20:2-3, KJV) You shall not make for yourself a carved image any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the L-RD your G-d, am a jealous G-d, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments. (Exodus 20:4-6, NKJV) You shall not take the name of the L-RD your G-d in vain, for the L-RD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

II. Shavuot, Chapter 2. 1 Corinthians 15:20 (NKJV) But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. Acts 1:4 (NKJV) He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father.

Acts 2:2-4 (NKJV) 2 Suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
5 Jeremiah 31:31-33 (NKJV) 31 Behold, the days are coming, says the L-RD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the L-RD. 33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the L-RD: I will put My law in their minds, and write it on their hearts; and I will be their G-d, and they shall be My people.
