This offering is incorporated within the Feast season commonly known as Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread is further discussed in the section covering Pecach (Passover). Though not pertaining to the Feast cycles, there is one more area of scripture that utilizes this Hebraically intended state of mind and it is found at Deuteronomy 24:19 — “When you are gathering (mentally recounting) the harvest (firstfruits of wisdom and understanding) in your field (thought plain), and forget to pick up a sheaf (instruction that both chastens and binds), you must not go back and get it; it shall be for the stranger (foreign thoughts), the fatherless (thoughts of abandonment), and the widow (grieving thoughts), so Yahweh your Father may bless you in all the work of your hands (grasping).”

It’s about the idea of wisdom being released over time through mental experience. Overzealousness is most often doubt, disguised through religious effort. There is nothing religious about the patterns of mind renewal.

Wave Offering nuwph (noof), “quiver, vibrate”; #5130
quiver – tsalal (tsaw-lal), “tumble, reddening”;#6750
tenuwphah (ten-oo-faw), “brandishing, tumult, uproar”; #8573

The intent is to express agitation, the recognition of change within. These two words express the totality of the wave offering, #5130 also being the root word of #8573. Our first account is found at Exodus chapter 29 verses 24 through 27, in reference to the consecration (mental fulfilling and setting apart) of the priesthood (thoughts “officiating” the will of Yahweh within). At Leviticus chapter 7 we find the correlation between the wave offering and the peace offering. …he [the thought bringing the peace offering] is to bring the offering [peace] made to Yahweh by fire, the fat (abundance) together with the breast (“seen, perceive”; foremost thought about the offering; #2373) and wave (induce agitation towards perceptive change) the breast before Yahweh, as a wave offering.” (vs.30)

The peace offering does in fact pertain to the Feasts and we will continue to explore how the wave offering is therefore applicable, but there are other wave offerings mandated within Torah and that work will be yours to do (Leviticus 8, 9, 10, 14, Numbers 5, 6 and 18). At Leviticus 23 we again find the wave offering and its applicability to the Feasts. We find that the sheaf/omer offering is also a wave offering:

“And he shall wave (consciously cause agitation towards change) the sheaf (thoughts chastened and changed)…”
(vs .11)

This wave offering takes place during what is commonly known as the Passover leading to what is commonly known as the “Feast of Firstfruits”. At verses 17 through 20 of Leviticus 23 we find the wave offering and its Firstfruits application: “You shall bring from your habitations (mental dwellings) two wave (agitate change) loaves (“battle, consume”; realization of the war between “self” will and Yahweh’s will within; #3898) made from two -tenths (recognition of “division”) of an ephah (overcoming “obscurity” within) of fine flour (mental “stripping” and refining). They shall be baked (solidified) with salt (“pulverize, disappear”; conscious leavening; #4417); the Firstfruits of Yahweh” (vs.17) “…the Priest shall wave (inner change agent) them [sin offering and peace offering] with the bread (realization of the two wills operating within) of the Firstfruits (acknowledgment of Yahweh’s will) as a wave offering…” (vs.20)
