The Species of Fruit Brought as Bikurim Bikurim wood Frame
The Israelites are commanded to bring the first of their fruit to the Temple, and to deliver all tithes to their proper recipients.
This section introduces us to the mitzvah of bikurim, the requirement to bring one's first fruits to the Holy Temple. This mitzvah applies to fruits and produce grown in the land of Israel, and only those for which the land of Israel is praised: wheat, barley, dates, figs, grapes, pomegranates and olives. When in the Temple, the owner of the fruits recites a brief thanksgiving prayer to G‑d and presents the produce to the priests.
