11and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
12Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these statutes.
“There was no ritual of sacrifice commanded at Pentecost. Instead, it was a time of joyful thanksgiving for the harvest, and heart-response to God.” (Guzik)
And remembering the bondage Israel had escaped.
Leviticus 23: 17Bring two loaves of bread from your dwellings as a wave offering
“The church, founded on the day of Pentecost, would include the “leavened bread” of the Gentiles, waved as holy before God - made holy by the work of Jesus the Messiah.” (Guzik)
Do you see how the Lord tied this all together?
Blessings
