Albert Barnes Commentary
"his own hands shall bring the offerings of Jehovah made by fire; the fat with the breast shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave-offering before Jehovah. And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar; but the breast shall be Aaron`s and his sons`. And the right thigh shall ye give unto the priest for a heave-offering out of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings." — Leviticus 7:30-32 (ASV)
Wave-offering ... heave-offering - The latter appears to be used (like קרבן qorbân—Leviticus 1:2) for offerings in general. Waving (a moving to and fro, repeated several times) or heaving (a lifting up once) the offering was a solemn form of dedicating a thing to the use of the sanctuary.
