Can you explain why there seems to be no reference (I could not find it) to the receiving of the Torah?


The date of the giving of the Torah may not be mentioned explicitly but it can easily be inferred from the 19th chapter of Sh'mot; see Counter-Missionary Forum, Shavuot topic, replies #1 and #2.
