Heave offering — According to rabbinical tradition, the manner of heaving was to lay the oblation on the hands of the offerer, the priest putting his hands underneath and then moving them upwards and downwards. The import of heaving in sacrifices is supposed to be a presentation to God, who rules in heaven above and in the earth beneath. It was given to the priest as his representative.

14. one out of each oblation] According to the practice in the second temple, ten of each of the three kinds of unleavened cakes and ten leavened cakes were brought. The priest took one out of each ten, and the remainder belonged to the bringer of the sacrifice, to be eaten along with his share of the flesh of the Peace-Offering. These cakes were not treated as Meal-Offerings, for the priests claimed the whole of such offerings (Lev_2:3; Lev_2:10), but as an accompaniment of the Peace-Offering. Thus four of them were given as ‘Tĕrûmah’ to the Lord for the priest that threw the blood against the altar (see note on Lev_1:5). ‘Tĕrûmah,’ ‘heave-offering,’ does not, however, indicate throwing, as the English word suggests, but something lifted or ‘taken off from a larger mass, and so separated from it for sacred purposes,’ and hence dedicated to God through His ministers.

Vers. 14, 28-34. The kingdom of God: lessons from the heave offering.
The ceremony of the heave offering and wave offering was a striking incident in the rite of the peace offering. "According to Jewish tradition it was performed by laying the parts on the hands of the offerer, and the priest, putting his hands again underneath, then moving them in a horizontal direction for the waving and in a vertical one for the heaving... the waving was peculiarly connected with the breast, which is thence called the wave breast (verse 34), and the heaving with the shoulder, for this reason called the heave shoulder" (verse 34). The main truth to which this symbolic act pointed was probably

I GOD"S UNIVERSAL SOVEREIGNTY. As these parts of the animal were solemnly directed upwards and downwards and laterally, in all directions, the offerer intimated his belief that the realm of Jehovah was a boundless kingdom, reaching to the heavens above, to the dark regions below, to every corner and quarter of the earth. We do well to meditate on the truth thus pictorially presented; bat in so doing we are necessarily reminded how much more we have learned both from revelation and human science of the wide reach of his reign. We may think of his Divine kingdom as including:
1. Heaven and all its worlds and inhabitants.
2. Hades the grave and those who have "gone to the grave.
3. The earth and all that is thereon:
a. all human Beings;
b. all unintelligent creatures;
c. all vegetable life;
d. all inanimate treasure gold, silver, etc.
We are reminded of the propriety of
II OUR FORMAL RECOGNITION OF THIS FACT. The Hebrew worshipper was encouraged to bring his peace offering to the altar, and then to go through this simple but suggestive ceremony, thus formally acknowledging the truth. No similar provision is made for our utterance of it; but it is open to us to declare it in sacred words and in most solemn forms:
1. In adoration. "Thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power... for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine," etc. (1Ch_29:10, 11 1Ti_1:17 Deu_10:14 Psa_24:1)
2. In praise. When we "sing unto the Lord," there should be full and frequent ascription of everything "in the heavens above and. the earth beneath" to him as the Author and Owner and Ruler of all. We also see
III OUR APPROPRIATE ACTION THEREUPON. The Jewish worshipper was directed to "wave" and "heave" the breast and shoulder; these joints in particular and in preference to any other, "probably from their being considered the more excellent parts." When the fat had been burned upon the altar (verse 30, these joints were reserved "unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons for ever" (verse 34). We gather therefrom that we are to make practical recognition of the truth that God"s kingdom extends everywhere, and includes every one, by:
1. Dedicating our best to his service: our affections (suggested by the breast); our strength (suggested by the shoulder).
2. Bringing our offerings to his cause for the support of those who minister in holy things, and for the maintenance of those various agencies which are working for the glory of his Name. C.
