Journey to the 10 — The Wavesheaf Offering (Firstfruits or Raysheet Katzeer)

As Israel leaves Egypt for good, they are not fleeing in confusion and fear but walking in order and with purpose in what the NASB translation calls a “martial array.” They left with honor, glory, wealth and they were armed. However, they were not ready for war at this time. God gave both the old men and the young women with children the strength to walk by day and by night without fatigue. Even at this time, God was providing for their every need at the right time.
