Context — The Priests’ Portion
28Then the LORD said to Moses,
29“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Anyone who presents a peace offering to the LORD must bring it as his sacrifice to the LORD.
30With his own hands he is to bring the food offerings to the LORD; he shall bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the LORD.
31The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. 32And you are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.Cross References

Leviticus 7:30 Summary
In Leviticus 7:30, we see that the person bringing the offering is required to bring it with their own hands, symbolizing their personal involvement and dedication to God. This act of worship is a way of saying, 'God, I'm giving you my best, just as the Israelites gave the best parts of the animal.' As believers, we can apply this principle by presenting our lives to God as a living sacrifice, as described in Romans 12:1, and by giving Him the firstfruits of our time, talent, and resources, just as the Israelites gave their firstfruits to God in Deuteronomy 26:1-11. By doing so, we acknowledge God's lordship over all things and express our gratitude for His provision and love.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of the person bringing the offerings with their own hands in Leviticus 7:30?
This act symbolizes the person's personal involvement and dedication to the sacrifice, as seen in the requirement for the person to lay their hands on the animal in Leviticus 1:4, demonstrating their identification with the offering.
Why is the breast waved as a wave offering before the Lord in Leviticus 7:30?
The waving of the breast as a wave offering is a symbolic act of presenting the offering to God, as described in Exodus 29:24 and Leviticus 10:14, and is a way of acknowledging God's lordship over all things.
What is the purpose of the fat and breast being brought together in Leviticus 7:30?
The fat and breast represent the best parts of the animal, and bringing them together signifies the person's willingness to give their best to God, as seen in the principle of giving the firstfruits to God in Deuteronomy 26:1-11.
How does this verse relate to the New Testament concept of worship?
This verse foreshadows the New Testament concept of worship, where believers are called to offer their bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, as described in Romans 12:1, and to present themselves to God as a spiritual act of worship.
Reflection Questions
- What does it mean for me to present my best to God, and how can I apply this principle in my daily life?
- In what ways can I symbolically 'wave' my life before God as an act of surrender and dedication?
- How can I cultivate a sense of personal involvement and dedication in my worship, just as the person in Leviticus 7:30 brings the offerings with their own hands?
- What are some areas in my life where I can give God the 'firstfruits', and how can I prioritize Him in all that I do?
Gill's Exposition on Leviticus 7:30
His own hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire,.... That is, such parts of the peace offerings as were to be burnt with fire, as the fat on several parts described in Leviticus 3:3
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Leviticus 7:30
His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD. The fat with the breast - (cf.

Made by fire; so called not strictly, as burnt-offerings are, because some parts of these were left for the priest, ; but more largely, because even these peace-offerings were in part, though not wholly, burnt. The breast may be waved to and fro by his hands, which were supported and directed by the hands of the priest.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 7:30
Leviticus 7:30 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved [for] a wave offering before the LORD.Ver. 30. His own hands.] Teaching them that they must live by their own faith. May be waved.] Or, Shaken to and fro; which signified the shaking of our lips in giving thanks to God, which yet must be fetched lower than the lips, even from the bottom of the heart; the deeper the sweeter. The voice that is made in the mouth is nothing so sweet, as that which comes from the depth of the breast.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 7:30
(30) His own hands shall bring.—This act the owner himself was to perform, and it was not to be deputed to any one else. The manner in which this rite was performed in the time of Christ was as follows:—The offerer killed the sacrifice, and the priest sprinkled the blood. The victim was then flayed, and the officiating priest took out the inwards, cut the flesh into pieces, and separated the breast and the right shoulder. Whereupon he laid the fat first upon the owner’s hands, then the breast, then the shoulder above it; the two kidneys and the caul of the liver above them again, and the bread above the whole, put his own hand under that of the offerer, and waved it all before the Lord. Hereupon the priest salted the inwards, and burned them upon the altar. The breast and right shoulder, as well as the bread waved before the Lord, were eaten by him and his brother priests, whilst the remainder of the flesh and the rest of the bread were eaten by the owner and his friends. If two persons brought a peace offering in partnership, one of them waved for both; and if a woman brought it, the waving was performed by the officiating priest, since women were not allowed to wave except in the offering of jealousy and of a Nazarite (Numbers 5:25; Numbers 6:20).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Leviticus 7:30
Verse 30. Wave-offering] See Clarke on Exodus 29:27.
Cambridge Bible on Leviticus 7:30
30. wave offering] The offering was waved towards the altar and back, apparently to express symbolically that it was first given to God and then restored by Him to the priest for his use. See Appendix IV, pp. 183 ff.
Barnes' Notes on Leviticus 7:30
Wave-offering ... heave-offering - The latter appears to be used (like קרבן qorbân, Leviticus 1:2) for offerings in general.
Whedon's Commentary on Leviticus 7:30
30. A wave offering — The rabbies say that the offering was laid upon the hands of the offerer. The priest, putting his hands beneath, moves the offering to and fro horizontally.
