LEV922 Bring a new wheat offering on Shavuos. On Shavous bring an offering of two loaves of bread made from flour of the new crop of wheat. This is the first offering from the new crop of wheat. Accordingly, it is called a “new” grain offering. As to why this wheat offering is baked bread, while the barley offering is only flour, wheat is a staple of the human diet, while barley is primarily animal food. Therefore, it is fitting that the first offering from the new wheat crop be in the form of wheat that most benefits mankind--baked bread. Since people’s thoughts about any given matter are awakened by means of their actions regarding the matter, we bring baked bread as the offering, for wheat in this form is of primary importance for us. Appreciating that bread as our primary form of sustenance, we appreciate the significance of the offering.
