Clarifying the 'Sabbath'
Commentators unanimously clarify that the term 'sabbath' in this verse can be confusing. 'The morrow after the sabbath' refers to the day after the first high holy day of Passover, not the weekly Saturday Sabbath. Likewise, 'seven sabbaths' means 'seven weeks' (49 days), a usage also found in the New Testament.
