And so we come to understand that the wave offering is a purposed consideration of the disruption that takes place when the souls personal will struggles against the will of Yahweh within. The acknowledgment and then the obedience via the acknowledgment of the opposition, leads to the mental sacrifices and slaughterings of all that is seen by Yahweh as self reliance; the ultimate mind sin.

And now we return to Leviticus 23:15: “And you shall count for yourselves, from the day after the Sabbath – from the day (verses 10-14) that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering: “…seven full weeks (shabua; 49 days, completion towards allotted mind boundaries) shall be completed.” We see how it is fitting to call this Feast by its several names:
Harvest/Weeks (A.K.A. Shavuot/Pentecost), and of course Firstfruits. At verse 16 we get greater depth: “Count off (74 fifty (50 . 5; 5 = favor, mercy, the power to “behold” Yahweh’s will) days up to the day after the seventh week (days 43 to 49); then (on the day after the “weeks” are fulfilled) you shall offer a new grain offering to Yahweh… They (the grain offerings) shall be baked with salt (“ferment, sour”; a humble mind grieved over its personal state; #2557): the firstfruits (renewing thoughts borne forth in the mind; #1061) of Yahweh.” (v.17) At verses 18 through 20 we see offerings mandated that have previously been vetted in regards to Pecach (Passover). The Table of Contents in the front will help you locate and further dissect the intent of the verses discussed here. And of this 50th day it is also said: “And you shall proclaim on that same day (Shabua, A.K.A Shavuot, the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Firstfruits) it shall be a Holy convocation (“called, rehearsal”; mental address from Yahweh’s mind to yours) to you: you shall do no regular (“work, enslave”; ego driven thinking; #5656) work. It shall be a statute (mental precept) forever (FOR -EVER! This is why understanding that His Temple) within is a crucial distinction to a non-existent physical Temple) in all your dwellings (mind states throughout your generations (perpetuation in thought).

(v.21) A mental “Sabbath” some would call a “High Sabbath”, is required (mentally cotmanded) on this day. And there is more: “When you reap (consciously gather) the harvest (refining thoughts) of your land (the “promised” thought plain of substance (milk) and sweetness (homey) via unilateral covenant), you shall not completely harvest the corners (“extremity”; extreme thoughts; #6285) of your field (spread out thoughts) when you reap, nor shall you gather (consciously collect) and leanings (unclear thoughts) from your harvest.

You shall leave them [extreme, unclear thoughts] for the poor (“depressed”; #6041) or the stranger (foreign thoughts). I am Yahweh your Heavenly Father.” (v.22) It’s a call to remembrance loved one. To believe that at any moment up to and until complete mental resurrection, the salvation of your soul, that you have reached the perfected conscience is to err. The leaving behind for the poor and the stranger is to remember that though the Feasts are indeed mind appointments with the will of Yahweh, they are to be “practiced” until perfection is granted. It’s always a call to mental humility nd contriteness! At Numbers 28:26 we are further reminded of what is spoken at Leviticus 23. “On the day of firstfruits (recognition of new born thoughts within prompted by and through the will of Yahweh), when you present to Yahweh an offering (mental sacrifice, mental slaughtering) of new grain (growing faith) at the Feast of Weeks (shabua A.K.A Shavuot A.K.A. Pentecost), you shall have a Holy Convocation (mental address from Yahweh). You should do no regular (self prescribed thinking), customary work.” And finally we go to Deuteronomy 16 as our last stop regarding the Feast of Harvest/Weeks/Firstfraits.
