I have been researching the Feast of Weeks, and came across this interesting snippet:
"Ex. 19:1 says that the Israelites reached Sinai in the third month after they had left Egypt: and since they had left Egypt in the middle of the first month, the Feast of Weeks became the Feast commemorating the Covenant at Sinai.
2 Ch. 15:10 mentions that under Asa, a religious feast was held in the third month to renew the Covenant, but it does not explicitly state that this was the Feast of Weeks.
The first time the connection is openly mentioned is in the Book of Jubilees, which puts all the Covenants it can discover in the [Tanach] (from Noah to Sinai) on the first day of the Feast of Weeks. The Qumran Sect, too, which called itself the Community of the New Covenant, celebrated the renewal of the Covenant on the Feast of Weeks, and this was the most important Feast in its calendar"
Emphasis mine.
