The Definition of the word Wave offerings

Wave offerings

Parts of peace-offerings were so called, because they were waved "by the priests (Ex. 29:24, 26, 27; Lev. 7:20-34; 8:27; 9:21;" "10:14, 15, etc.), in token of a solemn special presentation to" God. They then became the property of the priests. The "first-fruits, a sheaf of barley, offered at the feast of" "Pentecost (Lev. 23:17-20), and wheat-bread, the first-fruits of" "the second harvest, offered at the Passover (10-14), were" wave-offerings.
