Also in the day of the firstfruits,.... When the firstfruits of the wheat harvest were brought unto the Lord, which was the day of Pentecost, fifty days from the sheaf of the wave offering being brought:

when ye bring a new meat offering unto the Lord; that is, a meat offering made of the new corn, which were two wave loaves of two tenth deals of fine flour, baked with leaven, Leviticus 23:15

after your weeks be out; the seven weeks from the passover to Pentecost, even seven complete sabbaths or weeks, Leviticus 23:15

ye shall have an holy convocation, ye shall do no servile work; see

Leviticus 23:21.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The festival offering at the season of first-fruits was to be offered on one day only; and was the same with that of the new moon and Passover. It nearly though not entirely accords with the sacrificial offering prescribed in Leviticus 23:18 ff.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Numbers 28:26. Day of the first-fruits — Called also the feast of weeks, and the feast of pentecost. See it explained, Clarke "Exodus 23:14", and "Leviticus 23:15".
