Bible Commentary for Leviticus 23:12

Wesley's Notes for Leviticus 23:12


23:10 An omer - They did not offer this corn in the ear, or by a sheaf or handful, but, as Josephus, 3. 10 affirms, and may be gathered from #Lev 2:14|,15,16, purged from the chaff, and dryed, and beaten out.

23:11 He shall wave the sheaf before the Lord - In the name of the whole congregation, which as it were sanctified to them the whole harvest, and gave them a comfortable use of all the rest. For then we may eat our bread with joy, when God hath accepted our works. And thus should we always begin with God; begin our lives with him, begin every day with him, begin every work and business with him: seek ye first the kingdom of God. The morrow after the sabbath - After the first day of the feast of unleavened bread, which was a sabbath or day of rest, as appears from #Lev 23:7|, or upon the sixteenth day of the month. And this was the first of those fifty days, in the close whereof was the feast of pentecost.

23:13 Two tenth deals - Or, parts, of an ephah, that is, two omers, whereas in other sacrifices of lambs there was but one tenth deal prescribed. The reason of which disproportion may be this, that one of the tenth deals was a necessary attendant upon the lamb, and the other was peculiar to this feast, and was an attendant upon that of the corn, and was offered with it in thanksgiving to God for the fruits of the earth.

23:14 Bread - Made of new wheat. Nor green ears - Which were usual, not only for offerings to God, but also for man's food.
