802.—The Wave Sheaf and the Sabbath.

Whenever the sixteenth day of the first month, or the day when the sheaf of first fruits was waved before the Lord, fell on the seventh-day Sabbath, was the waving of the sheaf postponed till the next day? J. H. S., Easton, Pa.
Ans.— Why should it be postponed? Oftentimes other ceremonial observances came upon the Sabbath, and were celebrated just the same at their appointed times. The Sabbath rest was not designed to interfere with any of them. See Smith's Bible Dictionary on the Passover, Pentecost, etc.
