offering, heaveIt is done as part of an offering given “in an up and down” motion toward the LORD in heaven. It was the shoulder of the sacrificed animal that would be offered in this manner (Lev 7:34; Num 6:20).The heave offering represented a gift of thanksgiving to the “LORD as Ruler of heaven” and could be given at any time (Ex 29:28) and partaken by the whole family. It often took place during an offering (example the peace offering Lev 10:14-15; Numbers 18:19) and was connected to the wave offering which was done by the priest.
