		The festival dates back to the fifth century BCE and commemorates the survival of the Jews who were condemned to death by the Persians, as recorded in the biblical book of Esther.

	Keith Hunt - Tithing? #8
		Paul was personally taught by Christ Himself (Gal.1:11-12) and obviously just from the examples so far seen, Paul knew the law of three pilgrim festivals to Jerusalem was not a law under the New Covenant, but that law had been changed to allowing the feasts to be observed ANYWHERE God's people were living.
		Certain CHANGES to old covenant laws regarding the observance of the festivals was necessary under a worldwide era of the calling of God's children from all nations of the earth.
		Under the Old Covenant the saving of a second or Festival tithe was for the reason of going to the place where God had placed His name, three times a year, to observe the Feasts of the Lord and to sacrifice at the Temple.

		By using the term “Festival of Weeks,” the Torah teaches that the primary unit used in counting to this festival is the week.

	( Torah )
		On the day of the burial the laws are extremely stringent, and thereafter there are lesser laws which apply to the next seven days, the thirty-day period, etc. During the "three weeks" (between the 17th of Tammuz and Tish'a be-Av) the opposite is the case: more stringencies are added as time goes on.
		Each festival reflects a different aspect of this revelation (in the same way that each individual person represents a revelation of a sort).
		(This is the difference between Shabbat and the pilgrim festivals and between Shmitta and Yovel [the Sabbatical and Jubilee years], but there is no room for elaboration here.) The physical parallel can be found in the area of speech.

		Fixed prayers are said three times a day: in the morning shortly after rising, in the afternoon, and in the evening shortly before retiring.

		The festival is sort of a clown's day, with children dressing up as the heroes of the story, with hissing at the villains and cheering for the heroes during the reading.
