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.

21 "En este mismo día haréis también una proclamación; habréis de tener una santa convocación. No haréis ningún trabajo servil. Estatuto perpetuo será para todas vuestras generaciones dondequiera que habitéis

22 "Cuando seguéis la mies de vuestra tierra, no segaréis hasta el último rincón de ella ni espigaréis el sobrante de vuestra mies; los dejaréis para el pobre y para el forastero. Yo soy el SEÑOR vuestro Dios."
