Exodus 34
1. The tablets are replaced
5. The name of the Lord proclaimed
8. Moses entreats God to go with them
10. God makes a covenant with them, repeating certain duties
28. Moses after forty days on the mount, comes down with the tablets
29. His face is radiant, and he covers it with a veil














(22) The feast of weeks.--Called in Exodus 23:16, "the feast of harvest," and in the New Testament "the day of Pentecost"--seven weeks after the first day of unleavened bread. (See Note 1 on Exodus 23:16.) The special offering to be made at the feast consisted of "two wave loaves of fine flour, baken with leaven" (Leviticus 23:17), which were "the first-fruits of the wheat harvest."

And the feast of ingathering.--Called also "the feast of tabernacles" (Leviticus 23:34; Deuteronomy 16:13; Deuteronomy 16:16; Deuteronomy 31:10, &c.), on account of the command to "dwell in booths seven days" during its continuance (Leviticus 23:42). On the character of the festival see Note 2 on Exodus 23:16. . . .

Verse 22. - Of the first-fruits. There is here an unfortunate ambiguity. The English reader naturally supposes that three festivals are mentioned -

1. That of weeks;

2. That of the first-fruits of wheat harvest; and

3. That of in-gathering. . . .
