Leviticus 23:12

12 and the same day, wherein the handful is hallowed, a lamb of one year without wem shall be slain into burnt sacrifice of the Lord; (and on the same day in which the sheaf is dedicated, or is waved, a lamb of one year, without blemish, shall be killed for a burnt sacrifice to the Lord;)

Leviticus 23:12 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 23:12

And ye shall offer that day, when ye wave the sheaf
Besides the daily sacrifice of the morning and evening, and the additional offerings made on everyone of the seven days of the feast of unleavened bread: an he lamb without blemish of the first year, for a burnt offering
unto the Lord;
typical of the perfect and immaculate Lamb of God, whose sufferings are fitly signified by a burnt offering; and which were endured at the time he became the firstfruits of his people, and sanctified them.

Leviticus 23:12 In-Context

10 Speak thou to the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, When ye have entered into the land which I shall give to you, and have reaped [the] corn, ye shall bear handfuls of ears of corn, the first fruits of your ripe corn, to the priest (ye shall take, or shall bring in, some sheaves, the first fruits of your harvest, to the priest);
11 and the priest shall raise up a bundle before the Lord, that it be acceptable for you, in the tother day of the sabbath, that is, of (the) pask; and the priest shall hallow that bundle; (and the priest shall raise up, or shall wave, the sheaf as a special gift before the Lord, so that you gain acceptance; yea, on the day after the sabbath, that is, the day after the Passover, the priest shall dedicate that sheaf;)
12 and the same day, wherein the handful is hallowed, a lamb of one year without wem shall be slain into burnt sacrifice of the Lord; (and on the same day in which the sheaf is dedicated, or is waved, a lamb of one year, without blemish, shall be killed for a burnt sacrifice to the Lord;)
13 and [the] flowing offerings shall be offered therewith, two tenth parts of [tried] wheat flour sprinkled (al)together with oil, into incense of the Lord, and sweetest odour, and [the] flowing offerings of wine, the fourth part of hin. (and the grain offering shall be offered with it, that is, two tenths of an ephah of fine wheat flour altogether sprinkled with oil, as incense to the Lord, to make the sweetest aroma, and also the wine offering, the fourth part of a hin.)
14 Ye shall not eat a loaf, neither cake, nor pottage of the corn, till to the day in which ye shall offer thereof to your God; it is a behest everlasting in your generations, and [in] all your dwelling places (this is an everlasting law for all your generations, in all your dwelling places)
