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 person must bring the Lord's fire offerings with their own hands—the fat along with the breast meat. They should bring it so the breast can be waved as a special offering before the Lord.
This verse is describing how people must personally bring specific parts of their sacrifice (the fat and breast meat) to be offered to God in a special waving ceremony.
📚 Historical Context
This instruction was part of the detailed sacrificial system God gave to the Israelites through Moses. The 'wave offering' was a ritual where the priest would physically wave certain parts of the sacrifice before the altar as a way of presenting them to God. These specific portions (breast and fat) were considered the choicest parts of the animal and were reserved for the Lord and the priests.
