shavuos - Where in Tanach is Shavuot associated with Matan Torah?


There is nowhere I can see in the tanach that associates Shavuot with Matan Torah.


However, we say in the prayers on Shavuot: "Z'man Matan Toratainu" (the time of the giving of the Torah).


Whenever Shavuot is mentioned in the Torah is it associated with Bikuri'im or the Omer sacrifice.


Why is it that nowadays we have this association of Shavuot to Matan Torah, where is this association mentioned anywhere in Tanach?
