Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּף (nuph), which means "to wave" or "to brandish."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G536 (ἀπαρχή, aparchē): Refers to the firstfruits or the initial portion of a sacrifice or offering, which is similar in concept to the wave offering as a dedication to God.
- G1390 (δῶρον, dōron): Meaning "gift" or "offering," this term encompasses the idea of presenting something to God, akin to the wave offering in its function as a sacrificial gesture.

Usage: The word "tenuphah" is used in the context of the Old Testament sacrificial system, where it describes the act of waving offerings before God. This act was a symbolic gesture of presenting the offering to God and was part of various sacrificial rites, including peace offerings, grain offerings, and the consecration of priests.

Context: The concept of "tenuphah" is integral to the sacrificial practices outlined in the Torah, particularly in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, and Numbers. The waving of offerings, or "tenuphah," served as a physical demonstration of dedication and consecration to God. This ritual act was performed by the priests and involved the movement of offerings in a specific manner, symbolizing the presentation and acceptance of the offering by God.

In Leviticus 7:30, the term is used in the context of peace offerings: "With his own hands he is to bring the offerings made by fire to the LORD; he shall bring the fat together with the breast, to wave it as a wave offering before the LORD." This passage highlights the role of "tenuphah" in the peace offering, where the breast of the sacrificial animal was waved before the Lord as a sign of offering and acceptance.

Similarly, in Exodus 29:24, during the consecration of Aaron and his sons, the wave offering is described: "Put all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons and wave them before the LORD as a wave offering." This act of waving was part of the ordination ceremony, signifying the dedication of the priests to their sacred duties.

The "tenuphah" was not limited to animal sacrifices; it also included grain offerings, as seen in Leviticus 23:17, where the firstfruits of the harvest were waved before the Lord as an offering of gratitude and acknowledgment of God's provision.
