Thematic Bible: To offer the firstfruits


Thematic Bible



Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them: - When ye enter into the land which, I, am giving you, and ye reap the harvest thereof, then shall ye bring in a sheaf of the first-ripe corn of your harvest, unto the priest; and he shall wave the sheaf before Yahweh, that ye may be accepted, - on the morrow of the sabbath, shall the priest wave it.

And thou shalt come in unto the priest who shall be in those days, - and shalt say unto him - I declare to-day unto Yahweh thy God, that I am come into the land which Yahweh sware unto our fathers that he would give unto us. Then shall the priest take the basket out of thy hand, - and set it down before the altar of Yahweh thy God.
