Dear Kwon,

In theory, yes. This is why some Jewish and related groups, such as the Saducees, Samaritans and Karites celebrate the Pentecost, or Shavuot, on the seventh Sunday after the Sabbath of the Passover. However the Pharisic/Rabbinic tradition on which mainstream Judaism is based, interpreted this one particular "Shabbath" as referring to the festival itself, giving the Shavuot festival a set date (6 Sivan). Why did they do this? As Shoshanna would say, "Oral Torah".

Jacob Meyer says:

ha-Shabbath is the weekly Sabbath where as ha-Shabbaton is the one for
the festival. In Lev 23:10. it is ha-Shabbath.

Is it a correct statement?

Oun Kwon.

P.S. Recently I posted this (concerning about counting days to
determine Pentecost) to a person rather than this list. I have made
the question shortened.
