The omer offering (korban omer), or the sheaf offering, was an offering (korban) made by the Jewish priests in the Temple in Jerusalem. The offering consisted of one omer of freshly harvested grain, and was waved in the Temple.[1] It was offered on Passover, and signaled the beginning of the 49-day counting of the Omer (which concluded with the Shavuot holiday), as well as permission to consume chadash (grains from the new harvest).
The omer offering was one example of a wave offering (Hebrew: tenufah תנופה), which was waved in the Temple.[2]
