Romans 11:16 If the dough offered as firstfruits is holy, so is the whole lump, and if the root is holy, so are the branches.
“First fruits!” One word or two, hyphenated or not? In Hebrew, bikur takes on a plural form, bikurei, a first fruits offering. Yeshua, Himself, is identified as a “Firstfruit” of the resurrection … 1 Corinthians 15:20 But now Messiah has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. Likewise, we also must bear that label with Him. Jacob 1:18 By His will, He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all He created.
