"You shall count off seven weeks…then you shall observe the Feast of Weeks…"
(Deuteronomy 16:9-10)
"Counting the Omer for seven weeks was the way an ancient journeyed through the precarious harvest period starting with the barley at Pessach and concluding with wheat at Shavuoth. Here the seven weeks became seven hills and seven harvest seasons. Ruth, with Naomi at her side, reaches out with love to Boaz. And above the hills stands the city of David, the holy city of Jerusalem."
