Pentecost, otherwise known as the Feast of Weeks (Exodus 34:22; Leviticus 23:15–22; Deuteronomy 16:9–12) or the Feast of Harvest (Exodus 23:16), was a Jewish festival which took place fifty days after the conclusion of the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:4–8, Leviticus 23:15–16). It took place on a Sunday (the day after the Sabbath). The term Pentecost comes from the Greek for fiftieth and came to be used with reference to this feast.¹ It was one of three pilgrimage festivals in Israel where all the men were expected to come to the city of Jerusalem (Exodus 34:23), together with a gift in proportion to what the Lord had given to them (Deuteronomy 16:16–17).
