Study Notes
Understanding Aviv Barley
- Aviv is an agricultural term that refers to the point in the crop's stage of maturity when the early fields of barley can be harvested.
- The barley grain is physiologically mature and can be used to reproduce more barley at this stage of development.
- Aviv barley is not just about green ears, but rather the physical condition of maturity of the grain, with respect to readiness for harvest.
- The biblical description of aviv reflects the grain's physical and physiological mature state of readiness for harvest.
Importance of Aviv Barley
- Aviv barley represents the first grain harvest, producing the Wave Sheaf Offering to Yehovah.
- The Wave Sheaf Offering was the first fruit offering of the barley harvest, and it was waved by Aaron and the Priests on behalf of the people of Israel.
- The Wave Sheaf Offering was a day of thanksgiving, a day of sacrificial offering for the aviv barley grain harvest.
Identifying Aviv Barley
- The field must be inspected, and the great majority of the field must be found to be aviv to declare the head of the year.
- The barley kernels must be inspected, and not based on color only, as it can be misleading.
- Aviv barley must be roasted, or dried and ground into flour to be used as a Meal offering.
Celebrating Rosh HaShanah
- The head of months on the Hebrew calendar is the first day of Aviv, the first month that begins the new year.
- The first day, Aviv 1, is spoken of in Exodus 12:2 and it is called Rosh HaShanah (Head of the Year) because it begins the new year.
- The celebration begins at sunset on the evening of the last day of the twelfth month of the year, and ends at sunset on the following day.
The New Moon Search Team
- The New Moon Search Team in Israel searches for the aviv barley in the barley fields to provide data on the percentage of the field of aviv barley that they found to be aviv.
- They also provide information on the locations of the areas where barley grows wild and if that barley was also aviv.
