SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:20
Y el sacerdote los presentará en ofrenda mecida delante del SEÑOR, con el pan de las primicias, y los dos corderos; santidad serán del SEÑOR para el sacerdote.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 20. And the priests shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits , etc.] The two loaves called the two wave loaves, ( Leviticus 23:17); with which were waved the two lambs of the peace offerings; and these alive, as Jarchi and Ben Gersom intimate. The Jewish doctors dispute, whether, in waving, the lambs were put above the bread, or the bread above the lambs; which some reconcile by observing, that the bread was put by the side of the lambs: [for] a wave offering before the Lord ; being waved this way and that way, upwards and downwards, and towards the several quarters of the world, showing that the fruits of the earth were owing to the providential goodness of God everywhere: with the two lambs ; not that all the above sacrifices were waved, or any part of them, along with the lambs, but the wave loaves, and they were waved together, as one wave offering to the Lord: they shall be holy to the Lord for the priests ; both the loaves and the lambs, these were separated and devoted wholly to the Lord, and to be eaten by his priests; the peace offerings of a single person were light holy things, as Jarchi says; but the peace offerings of the congregation, as these were, are the most holy things, and so to be eaten only by the priests, and by the males only, in the court of the tabernacle.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-22 - The feast of Weeks was held in remembrance of the giving of the law fifty days after the departure from Egypt; and looked forward to the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, fifty days after Christ our Passover wa sacrificed for us. On that day the apostles presented the first-fruit of the Christian church to God. To the institution of the feast of Pentecost, is added a repetition of that law, by which they wer required to leave the gleanings of their fields. Those who are trul sensible of the mercy they received from God, will show mercy to the poor without grudging.
