Description
Weeks in the text
The Feast of Weeks, or Pentecost, was one of the three major pilgrimage festivals in ancient Israel, along with Passover and the Feast of Tabernacles (Deu.16.16). It was celebrated seven weeks (fifty days) after Passover (Exodus 34:22, Deu.16.10). The festival marked the end of the grain harvest, particularly the wheat harvest (Exodus 34:22). It was a time to bring offerings to the Lord from the firstfruits of the harvest (Numbers 28:26). The Feast of Weeks also commemorated the giving of the Law to Moses at Mount Sinai, which traditionally occurred fifty days after the Exodus. In later Jewish tradition, it became a celebration of the Torah and God's covenant with Israel. The festival was observed at the Temple in Jerusalem (2Ch.8.13). In the New Testament, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the early Christians occurred on the day of Pentecost (Act.2.1), fifty days after Jesus' resurrection. The apostle Paul also sought to be in Jerusalem for Pentecost during his missionary journeys (Act.20.16, 1Co.16.8). The Feast of Weeks or Pentecost held both agricultural and spiritual significance for the Jewish people, celebrating God's provision and His covenant relationship with them.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
