Being new to all this, I am asking you to forgive me for my innocence on the subject and the many questions I ask.

Shavuoth... which I understand to be a feast of weeks, which is one of the pilgrim festivals listed in the Bible that every one was to come fom miles around to attend. It was clebrated two days 96th and 7th of Sivan) outside Israel but only one day in Israel. Since it falls exactle seven weeks after Passover is it what we know of as the Pentacost?

From what I have gathered so far this festival was to celebrate the time of the giving of the law on Mount Sinai and simultaneously as a holiday of the first fruits. So was Moses head aglow the same as the apostles experience in the upper room where they had a fire flame above their head?

I also understand at this point that in synagogue service there is a solemn reading of the Ten Commandments and the reading of the Book of Ruth which is emphasizing the acceptance of God's law by a proselyte. (which would be me? )

yes - Shavuot means essentially 7Weeks = 50 days

Originally Shavuot was an agrarian festival and grew to include the remembreance of the giving of the Torah - became at one time a very joyous "wedding" celebration or anniversary as the Torah is seen as the marriage contract between the Jewish people and HaShem.

It says that Moshe's face was glowing and he was made to wear a veil - those in the room were said to have flames of fire above their heads. To me sounds like separate events.

always apreciate your imput and encouragement.

Two questions

Is Pentacost and Shavuot the same feast?

Would the Holy Spirit have caused Moshe's head to glow and the apostle's flame be the same?

Still not clear......
