Is there a story in the old testament of pentecost that links to the new testament pentecost?

The only one I find is Moses coming down the mount with the tablets of the covenant and 3,000 men killed that day (exodus 32) which would parallel the 3,000 souls saved in Acts 2.

But the math doesn’t add up.
Israel hadnt reached Sinai until the 15th or 16th day of the 3rd month (exodus 19) and that would be 60 days from the first Passover before they heard the law with their ears, and another 40 days after the 60, while Moses was up on the mount before they received the tables of the covenant and 3000 men killed on the feast that Aaron declared.

The exodus records manna after 30 days, the hearing of the law after 60 days, and the receiving of the tablets of the covenant written with His finger after 100 days from that first Passover.

30/60/100... Something the Savior mentioned in His parable of the sower..

If we follow exodus, manna was given 30 days after passover, on the 16th day of 2nd month.

Israel arrived at the mount on the 15th or 16th day of the 3rd month. So, at least 60 days after Passover, Israel heard the law thundered from the mount.

Moses goes up the mount for 40 days and comes down on the day Aaron declared a chat/feast.

That is over 100 days.. Not 50..

30- manna
60- hearing of law
100- given law written by His finger..

Is that missed by Christianity because it is missed by Judaism?

What feast were they assembled in Jerusalem for? Because the only one I see is the one that occurred in the old testament wasn’t 50 days after Passover..

And maybe people would re-read Leviticus 23 and see it in a slightly different view when counting sabbaths and numbering days .. If those are two different counts,it makes Moses and the 3000 killed on that feast day mesh with Act 2 feast/chag and 3000 souls saved.

That would require new understanding and Judaism and Christianity are set in their way and maybe unable to see the math problem..
