Priest » Duties of » To offer the firstfruits
Speak to the sons of Israel, and say to them, When ye have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap the harvest of it, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest. And he shall wave the sheaf before LORD, to be accepted for you. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it.
And thou shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and say to him, I profess this day to LORD thy God, that I have come to the land which LORD swore to our fathers to give us. And the priest shall take the basket out of thy hand, and set it down before the altar of LORD thy God.
