Levítico 23:20 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:20

And the priests shall wave them with the bread of the
firstfruits
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

FOOTNOTES:

F26 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.

Levítico 23:20 In-Context

18 Junto con el pan deberán presentar siete corderos de un año, sin defecto, un novillo y dos carneros. Serán, junto con sus ofrendas de cereal y sus ofrendas de libación, un holocausto al SEÑOR, una ofrenda presentada por fuego, de aroma grato al SEÑOR.

19 Luego sacrificarán un macho cabrío como ofrenda por el pecado, y dos corderos de un año como sacrificio de comunión.

20 El sacerdote mecerá los dos corderos, junto con el pan de las primicias. Son una ofrenda mecida ante el SEÑOR, una ofrenda consagrada al SEÑOR y reservada para el sacerdote.

21 Ese mismo día convocarán ustedes a una fiesta solemne en honor al SEÑOR, y en ese día no harán ningún trabajo. Este será un estatuto perpetuo para todos tus descendientes, dondequiera que habiten.

22 »Cuando llegue el tiempo de la cosecha, no sieguen hasta el último rincón del campo ni recojan todas las espigas que queden de la mies. Déjenlas para los pobres y los extranjeros. Yo soy el SEÑOR su Dios».
