“And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the Lord.”
On the day you wave the sheaf, you must sacrifice as a burnt offering to the Lord a lamb a year old without defect. The burnt offering lamb accompanying the firstfruits wave — a year-old lamb without defect, the daily burnt offering's animal — communicates the total consecration that the firstfruits offering requires. The wave of the sheaf (the covenant community's acknowledgment of God's ownership of the harvest) and the burning of the lamb (the total consecration of the occasion) together constitute the complete firstfruits ceremony.
