Joseph Benson’s Bible Commentary

Leviticus 23:17

Two wave loaves of two tenth-deals There was one tenth-deal in each loaf. They were called wave-loaves, because they were presented to God by waving them toward heaven. Baken with leaven Contrary to the established law in other bread or flower offerings, Leviticus 2:11. The reason may be, that these first-fruits were a symbol of the leavened bread which the Israelites commonly used.
