Heb 7:28; Lev 7:37, Lev 8:28-31 the breast: Lev 7:31-34, Lev 8:29, Lev 9:21, Lev 10:15; Num 6:20, Num 18:11, Num 18:18, Num 18:19; Deu 18:3 the wave offering: The wave offering and heave offering are thus distinguished by the Jewish writers. the former, called tenoophah, from nooph, to move, toss, was waved horizontally towards the four cardinal points, to signify that He to whom it was consecrated was the Lord of the whole earth; the latter, called teroomah, from room, to be elevated, was lifted perpendicularly upward and downward, in token of its being devoted to the God of heaven. the ram of the consecration: Ail milluim, literally, "the ram of filling;" so called, according to some, because at the consecration of the priests, certain pieces of the sacrifice were put into their hands ( Exo 29:24); on which account their consecration itself is called "filling their hands" ( Exo 28:41). Rabbi Solomon gives a different reason for the ram being so called, from malai, to be full, complete; because the sacrifice completed the consecration, and thereupon the priests were fully invested in their office. Accordingly, the LXX render it by τελειωσις, consummation. Exodus 29:28
