Why a Wave Sheaf Offering?

God commanded the wave sheaf offering described in Leviticus 23:10-11. Do you suppose that anyone wondered, “Why?” The instructions are clear, but God did not state what these actions pictured. The people were left to obey and to wonder. Today we will look into Scripture to see the meaning of this ritual, and what it pictures in God’s plan of salvation.
