    How long after the Exodus did God give the Torah to Israel?

    50 days (49 days known as 'Sefirat HaOmer')

    In detail

    The Torah was given 50 days after the Exodus from Egypt. The Israelites left Egypt on the 15th of Nisan (Pesach), and 49 days later, on the 6th of Sivan, they received the Torah at Mount Sinai (Shavuot). These 49 days are counted as 'Sefirat HaOmer' (Counting of the Omer), a period of spiritual preparation from physical freedom to spiritual freedom.
