Apocalypse Revealed #622
622. These were redeemed from among men. This symbolically means that they are people who could be regenerated by the Lord and so be redeemed in the world, as in no. 619 above, where similar words occur.
Numbers 15:17-21
17
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
18
"Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land where I bring you,
19
then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.
20
Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering: as the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.
21
Of the first of your dough you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.
