Was the commandment for the counting of the omer and the feast of Shavuot celebration (Lev. 23) given before the giving of the Torah on Sinai ?
IS there any command in the Torah that the feast of Shavuot is related to the giving of the Torah ?
Is the giving of the Torah in Ex.19 the first Shavuot or was the Torah given on Shavuot ?
Exodus 19
1. In the third month of the children of Israel's departure from Egypt, on this day they arrived in the desert of Sinai.
16. It came to pass on the third day when it was morning, that there were thunder claps and lightning flashes, and a thick cloud was upon the mountain, and a very powerful blast of a shofar, and the entire nation that was in the camp shuddered. (JPT)
Is that third day the 6th of Sivan ?
Thanks and Shalom.
