Bikkurim (Hebrew: בכורים, / b ɪ ˌ k uː ˈ r iː m, b ɪ ˈ k ʊər ɪ m /), [1] or first-fruits, are a type of sacrificial offering which was offered by ancient Israelites. In each agricultural season, the first-grown fruits were brought to the Temple and laid by the altar, and a special declaration recited.
First Fruits is a religious offering of the first agricultural produce of the harvest. In classical Greek, Roman, and Hebrew religions, the first fruits were given to priests as an offering to deity. Beginning in 1966 a unique "First Fruits" celebration brought the Ancient African harvest festivals that became the African American holiday, Kwanzaa.
The Board of First Fruits (Irish: Bord na Prímhide [1]) was an institution of the Church of Ireland that was established in 1711 by Anne, Queen of Great Britain to build and improve churches and glebe houses in Ireland. This was funded from taxes collected on clerical incomes which were in turn funded by tithes.
In halakah (Jewish law), the word terumah by itself refers to the "great offering" (terumah gedolah).
