Lev 2:12 As for the oblation of the firstfruits, ye shall offer them unto the LORD: but they shall not be burnt on the altar for a sweet savour.
If a man chose, in the abundance of his gratitude, to bring an oblation of the first-cut corn, at the time that the single sheaf of firstfruits was to be waved in the sanctuary at the feast of the firstfruits, his oblation was to be accepted, but, like the sheaf, was not to be burnt—(verse 12)—only waved. Was this because the earliest firstfruits represented Christ, as we have seen, who was to be an exception to all “the redeemed of the Lord” in that he was not at all to see corruption, but, with the exception of the brief rest in Joseph’s tomb till the morning of the third day, was to be ever before the Lord in active service, from the moment of his introduction into the world? This is a probable meaning.
