1. It was called the Feast of Weeks or of sevens, because from the waving of the Sheaf they reckoned as many weeks to this Feast as there be days in seven weeks; which evidently shadowed out some weekly Festival under the Gospel, the day whereof was noted by that Pentecost, Acts 2. 1, 2.

2. It was called the Feast of First-fruits, and of Harvest; because as they began their Harvest upon the first of the fifty days when they offered the Sheaf of First-fruits, so they ended it upon the fiftieth day, which was properly the Feast-day: Upon which they offered the Wave-loaves. And these fifty days or seven weeks were the appointed weeks of their Harvest; and by the offering of the Sheaf at the beginning of their Harvest there, their after-Fruits were sanctified. And the offering of the loaves on the fiftieth day was not only an Eucharistical Oblation, but also a token of the Harvest being finished.
