Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Deuteronomy 16:9-12

_ _ Seven weeks shalt thou number — The feast of weeks, or a WEEK OF WEEKS: the feast of pentecost (see on Leviticus 23:10; also see Exodus 34:22; Acts 2:1). As on the second day of the passover a sheaf of new barley, reaped on purpose, was offered, so on the second day of pentecost a sheaf of new wheat was presented as first-fruits (Exodus 23:16; Numbers 28:26), a freewill, spontaneous tribute of gratitude to God for His temporal bounties. This feast was instituted in memory of the giving of the law, that spiritual food by which man’s soul is nourished (Deuteronomy 8:3).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Deuteronomy 16:1-17.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Deuteronomy 16:9

To put the sickle — That is, to reap thy corn, thy barley, when the first — fruits were offered.
