Firstfruits, the beginning harvest is always written about as either an agricultural offering or an offering of our firstborn children to be dedicated to the service of our Creator. Even in the New Testament Firstfruits refers to the beginning harvest of mankind. This may seem to be problem for people not involved in agriculture or who are childless, but the way the first fruits are used gives us the information needed to see how everyone is able to offer their choicest first products. The beginning harvest is set aside for the Levitical priesthood who had no property. The early priest relied only on the offerings of the people. Their food, clothing and homes were supplied by the community. This allowed for the weavers, tailors and even the metalsmith to contribute their skills as first fruit offerings. The corruption of the Levitical priesthood after the exile renders the first fruit offering currently impossible except for the symbolic rehearsal necessary to maintain the knowledge and understanding of the feast.
