Yom haBikkurim & Sefirat haOmer

For Torah Nuggets

Tonight is new 16th of Nisan, 5781 (March 28, 2021). The key is sunset to sunset.  Yom haBikkurim (“Day of the First Fruits”) same time Counting of the Omer (Hebrew: סְפִירַת הָעוֹמֶר‎, Sefirat HaOmer, sometimes abbreviated as Sefira or the Omer) is always on 16th of Nisan/Aviv.

From sunset to sunset.  

The Omer is counted AFTER sunset on YHWH and His Eternal Torah Calendar.  Basically this scripture verses reveal us all read on Leviticus 23 in order at a step one time of verses thru Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit) YHWH and His Sabbath (7th of day is on Saturday) & Seven Feasts (Spring Feasts and Autumn Feasts). 

Leviticus 23 in order:

Shabbat (Sabbath) is on 7th day (Saturday: from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset) is holy. Shabbat means Seven.  We all read the key is a holy convocation

YHWH:  His Divine Seven Feasts

Spring Feasts

Pesach (Passover) this is YHWH’s Pesach. 

Chag haMatzah (Feast of Unleavened Bread, Festival of Matzah) is High Shabbat. 1st and last day are holy. No work allowed. 1st and last: A holy convocation.

Yom haBikkurim (First Fruits, the Day of First-Fruits)*

*same time Sefirat haOmer (Counting of Omer begins on 16th of Nisan/Aviv. Read Omer every sunsets from 16th of Nisan toward 49th day next day Shavuot is 50th day.

Shavuot (Pentecost, 50th day). High Shabbat. No work allowed. A holy convocation

Autumn Feasts

Rosh haShannah “Head of the Year” aka Yom Teruah High Shabbat. A holy convocation. Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew: רֹאשׁ הַשָּׁנָה‎), literally meaning “head [of] the year”, is the Hebrew/Jewish New Year. The biblical name for this holiday is Yom Teruah ( יוֹם תְּרוּעָה‎), literally “day of shouting or blasting”, and is also more commonly known in English as the Feast of Trumpets. High Shabbat. No work allowed. A holy convocation.

Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement). High Shabbat. Fast. from 9th of Tishri sunset to 10th of Tishri sunset A holy convocation.

Sukkot (Feast of Ingathering aka Chag HaAsif , Festival of Booths, Feast of Tabernacle,Feast of  Shelters) for seven days: 1st day holy & last day holy. No work allowed. 1st and last: A holy convocation.

There are debates over Leviticus 23:11 & 23:15 for years, I see this verses 11 & 15 …after Shabbat refers to Chag haMatzah (Feast of Unleavened Bread) is High Shabbat reveals us all nations thru YHWH & His Divine Torah! They forgot Chag haMatzah is High Shabbat Day. Please click on Leviticus 23

Leviticus 23:11 & 15 TLV:

¹¹ He is to wave the omer before Adonai, to be accepted for you. On the morrow after the Shabbat, the kohenis to wave it. 

¹⁵ “Then you are to count from the morrow after the Shabbat, from the day that you brought the omer^[c] of the wave offering, seven complete Shabbatot.

This verses reveals us all …after Shabbat (Chag haMatzah aka Festival of Unleavened Bread) ON the morrow (Yom haBikkurim aka Day of First Fruits) we count (Sefirat haOmer/Counting of the Omer) same time!

Shavuot literally means “weeks”. That is because Shavuot is celebrating seven complete weeks – a week of weeks! 

Short summary of Ruth:

Ruth spent a lot of time in the field of Boaz.   Remember we see after Sabbath refers Chag haMatzah is High Sabbath. No work allowed. A holy convocation.

There are different sickle tools to cut long stems of barley, wheat, rice…….please click sickle tools

From barley harvest:  Time to work and use sickle tools on 16th of Nisan/Aviv Omer count toward wheat harvest (Shavuot).  The inspirational scripture verse key is Ruth 2:23 

So she (Ruth) stayed close with the maidservants of Boaz to glean until the end of the barley harvest (Pesach) and wheat harvest (Shavuot). And she lived with her mother-in-law (Naomi).  

We all read Omer every sunsets toward Shavuot is on May 17th, 2021 (6th of Sivan, 5781) High Shabbat day.  We read about the Book of Ruth and Boaz.  

Now we all read together praising YHWH thru His Blood Pesach Lamb of G-d Mashiyach Our Eternity of Eternities Savior is Risen!Bless The Eternal One we all bow praising You are King reign eternity of eternities!!

Philippians 2:1-11 TLV Messiah’s Example of Humility

2 Therefore if there is any encouragement in Messiah, if there is any comfort of love, if there is any fellowship of the Ruach, if there is any mercy and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, united in spirit, with one purpose. 3 Do nothing out of selfishness or conceit, but with humility consider others as more important than yourselves, 4 looking out not only for your own interests but also for the interests of others. 5 Have this attitude in yourselves, which also was in Messiah Yeshua,

6 Who, though existing in the form of God,
did not consider being equal to God a thing to be grasped.
7 But He emptied Himself—
taking on the form of a slave,
becoming the likeness of men
and being found in appearance as a man.
8 He humbled Himself—
becoming obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
9 For this reason God highly exalted Him
and gave Him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Yeshua every knee should bow,[a]
in heaven and on the earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue profess that Yeshua the Messiah is Lord—
to the glory of God the Father.

Today is Omer day 1 begins at sunset. (Sunday evening, March 28, 2021 aka new 16th of Nisan/Aviv, 5781).

3 so that Your way may be known on earth,
and Your salvation among all nations.
4 Let the peoples praise You, O God.
Let all the peoples praise You.
5 Let the nations be glad and sing for joy,
for You will judge the peoples fairly,
and guide the nations on the earth. Selah
6 Let the peoples praise You, O God.
Let all the peoples praise You.
7 The earth has yielded its harvest—
God, our God will bless us.
