Leviticus 23:10

When ye come into the land, &c. In the wilderness they sowed no corn, and therefore could not be obliged by this precept till they came into Canaan. And shall reap the harvest Begin to reap, as the sense shows, and is explained Deuteronomy 16:9. Then ye shall bring a sheaf Or handful, as the margin has it; but in the Hebrew it is omer.

And they did not offer this corn in the ear, or by a sheaf, or handful, but, as Josephus affirms, and may be gathered from Leviticus 2:14, purged from the chaff, dried, and beaten out.
