2. It must be such a Morrow after the Sabbath as never falls upon the weekly Sabbath: the reason is plain, because it is the beginning of Harvest, when they put in their Sickle to the Corn, or their Harvest, Levit. 23. 10. Which the are expressly forbidden to do upon their weekly Sabbath, Exod. 34. 21, 22. Six days thou shalt labour, but on the seventh thou shalt rest, both in earing Time and Harvest. And see how this is coupled with the Feast of first Fruits in the very same place, Thou shalt observe the Feast of Weeks, &c.

3. Observe it, if the morrow after the Sabbath, Levit. 23. had been the Morrow after the Passover, this would often have fallen on the weekly Sabbath: for the Passover being fixed upon the 15th of Nisan, whenever this 15th of Nisan fell upon the Friday, the morrow after it must be Saturday, and so they must begin to reap their Harvest on the weekly Sabbath against the express Command of God.
