Wave-loaves, Trumpets and Atonement. The LORD spoke again to Moses, saying,

24. What were the two great festival periods of the Jewish year?
The LORD spoke again to Moses, saying,
THE FEAST OF WEEKS
‘You shall count from the day after the Sabbath, from the day when you brought in the sheaf (tied bundle of grain) of the wave offering; there shall be seven complete Sabbaths (seven full weeks).
You shall count fifty days to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you shall present a new grain offering to the LORD.
You shall bring in from your places two loaves of bread as a wave offering, made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour; they shall be baked with leaven as first fruits to the LORD.
And you shall offer with the bread seven unblemished lambs, one year old, and one young bull and two rams. They are to be a burnt offering to the LORD, with their grain offering and their drink offerings. It is an offering by fire, a sweet and soothing aroma to the LORD.
And you shall sacrifice one male goat as a sin offering and two male lambs, one year old as a sacrifice of peace offerings.
The priest shall wave them before the LORD as a wave offering, together with the bread of the first fruits and the two lambs. They are to be holy to the LORD for the priest.
On this same day you shall make a proclamation, you are to have a holy convocation (calling together); you shall not do any laborious work [on that day]. It is to be a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you may be.
‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not reap to the edges of your field, nor gather the gleaning of your harvest; you are to leave them for the poor and for the stranger. I am the LORD your God.'”
THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS
Again the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
“Say to the children of Israel, ‘On the first day of the seventh month (almost October), you shall observe a day of solemn sabbatical rest, a memorial day announced by the blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
You shall not do any laborious work [on that day], but you shall present an offering by fire to the LORD.'”
THE DAY OF ATONEMENT
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
“Also the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement; it shall be a holy convocation for you, and you shall humble yourselves [by fasting] and present an offering by fire to the LORD.
You shall not do any work on this same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement on your behalf before the LORD your God.
If there is any person who will not humble himself on this same day, he shall be cut off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them].
If there is any person who does any work on this same day, I will destroy that person from among his people.
You shall do no work at all [on that day]. It is a permanent statute throughout your generations wherever you may be.
It is to be to you a Sabbath of complete rest, and you shall humble yourselves. On the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening you shall keep your Sabbath.”

WAVE-LOAVES, TRUMPETS AND ATONEMENT
The Hebrew feasts divide themselves into two groups, connected with the Passover and the Day of Atonement, respectively, and occurring in the first and seventh months of the year. First came the Passover, on the fourteenth day of the first month, followed closely by the Week of Unleavened Bread, and at a distance of seven weeks further on by the Feast of Pentecost (Pentecost is the Greek word for fifty; see Lev_23:16).
These three form the first group. Six months afterward, on the tenth day of the seventh month, came the most solemn day in the whole year-the Day of Atonement. It was preceded by the Feast of Trumpets, and followed closely by the Feast of Tabernacles. This was the second group. But each group set forth a distinct aspect of redemption. In the Passover, we are reminded that we were redeemed from sin: in the Atonement, that we are redeemed to God. Do not forget to find Christ’s resurrection in Lev_23:11, and the first-fruits of the Spirit in Lev_23:17.
