How do you read the description of the feast of First-fruits in Leviticus 23: 15-16 ?

It occurs on the day following the Shabbat following Passover.

Someone could confuse it with Sunday.

It is when the best of the harvest is offered to the L-rd.

It is the day Y'shua rose to be the First-fruits offering to His Father for the rest of mankind.

It also begins a period of the counting of the Omer.
This will end after seven weeks and a day or fifty days ( Pentecost in the LXX ).

The feast is Shavuot: the day the Law was given to Moses on Mount Sinai.

Shavuot is a mandatory Feast for all Torah believing Jews to be in Jerusalem.

Y'shua's disciples were gathered as commanded when the Ru'ach HaKodesh descended on them.

b'shem Y'shua

It doesn't matter how I read it. I am not a Jew, and Jewish feasts are no longer operative since the old Mosaic law has no hold on Christians. Ever hear of the New Testament?

"It occurs on the day following the Shabbat following Passover."

Not at issue here.

"Someone could confuse it with Sunday."

You're the only one confusing things here. Not me.

"It is when the best of the harvest is offered to the L-rd."

Duh!

"It is the day Y'shua rose to be the First-fruits offering to His Father for the rest of mankind.It also begins a period of the counting of the Omer.

Great. All irrelevant to what we're discussing here, but great. I asked you for evidence that pagan teachings were incorporated into Church teachings. Do you have that evidence with supporting documentation yet? I think you don't. Am I right?
