And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Ver. 11. And he shall wave the sheaf.] This signified that they and theirs were accepted of God through Christ.
On the morrow after the Sabbath.] Here the Lord's day was prefigured, saith one, therefore prescribed, and instituted of God. This shake day sheaf was a pregnant type of Christ's rising again, the firstfruits from the dead. It was fulfilled in Christ's resurrection, the day after the Sabbath. And because this Sabbath was chiefly meant of the Passover (which was a high Sabbath) it was a double Sabbath wherein Christ rested in the grave. The very next morning was Christ waved before the Lord, when, in the earthquake, he rose from the dead "the firstfruits of them that sleep," and there hence entered the everlasting gates as a King of glory, Psa 24:7 which psalm is in the Greek called A psalm of David of the first day of the week.
