Barnes's Deuteronomy 16:9 Bible Commentary
Feast of Weeks; and Deuteronomy 16:13-17, Feast of Tabernacles. Nothing is here added to the rules given in Leviticus and Numbers except the clauses so often recurring in Deuteronomy and so characteristic of it, which restrict the public celebration of the festivals to the sanctuary, and enjoin that the enjoyments of them should be extended to the Levites, widows, orphans, etc.
Wesley's Deuteronomy 16:9 Bible Commentary
16:9 To put the sickle - That is, to reap thy corn, thy barley, when the first - fruits were offered.
