This pentecostal Jewish holiday began as a harvest ritual. The Israelite farmer was to take a portion of his crop and offer it unto the Lord. This offering recognized the Lord's hand in providing the sun, water, and earth. This holiday, as do the other "Pilgrim Feastivals", recognized the partnership of harvestthe farmers sweat with the Lord's sun and water.
Later in history, Shavuot expanded its significance as it became the accepted day commemorating the birth of Israel as a people. This birthday is the day the Ten Commandments were received and Israel sealed its covenant with their God. Shavuot has continued to change over the centuries adopting both Christian and Pagan practices as part of its evolution to modern society. |
