Counting of the Omer - Day 29

from The Gospel of Truth:
He is the shepherd who left behind the 99 sheep that were not lost, in order to go searching for this - one which had strayed. And he rejoiced when he found it. For 99 is a number that is counted on the left hand, which tallies it. But when 1 is added, the entire sum passes to the right hand. So it is with him who lacks the One, which is the entire right hand - he takes from the left what is deficient in order to transfer it to the right, and thus the number becomes 100. Now, the signification with these words is the Father.
