Types of Feasts in Leviticus
Leviticus 23
Passover/Unleavened Bread - celebrating liberation from Egypt.
Pentecost - primarily a thanksgiving for the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, but it was later associated with a remembrance of the Law given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai.
Ingathering/Tabernacles - Tent-dwelling in wilderness. Follows Day of Atonement and celebrates God’s provision and protection for the people of Israel during their 40 years wandering in the wilderness; for the seven days of the feast, people live in temporary structures like they did in the wilderness. The Lord himself was with the Israelites in the desert, in a tented temple called the tabernacle, so the feast also celebrates his presence as he tabernacles (dwells) with us.
