A measure of wheat or grain still on their stalks and not yet separated from them; the stalks were bundled together in a diameter or fashion considered easily milled.

Refers to “sheaf” offerings or wave offerings presented to the priests during the Day of First fruits(The first day after Passover or the day of the Resurrection of our Lord)

Hence we are “bringing in the sheaves” by witnesses and winning souls for Christ...the first fruits then the final harvests as so directed by the Holy Spirit!

Um, no.

A lot of folks don’t have a clue what sheaves are.

I’m 55 and grew up on a farm and have never used that word apart from the song.
