Aaron followed Moses' instructions exactly, presenting specific parts of the sacrifice to God by lifting them up in a ceremonial way.
📚 Historical Context
This occurs during the first sacrificial ceremony performed by Aaron as the newly ordained high priest of Israel. The 'wave offering' was a ritual where the priest would lift portions of the sacrifice toward heaven and then toward the altar, symbolically presenting them to God before they were given to the priests as their portion. This was part of establishing the formal worship system God had commanded for the Israelites after they left Egypt.
