Strong's Lexicon tenuphah: Wave offering Original Word: תְּנוּפָה Word Origin: Derived from the root נוּף (nuwph), meaning "to wave" or "to swing." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tenuphah," the concept of offerings and sacrifices is prevalent in the New Testament, often using terms like θυσία (thusia) for "sacrifice" and προσφορά (prosphora) for "offering." Usage: The term "tenuphah" refers to a specific type of offering in the Hebrew Bible, known as the "wave offering." This offering involved the ceremonial waving of certain sacrifices or portions of sacrifices before the LORD as an act of dedication and consecration. It was a symbolic gesture representing the presentation of the offering to God and His acceptance of it. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite worship, the wave offering was an integral part of the sacrificial system established by God through Moses. It was often associated with peace offerings, thanksgiving offerings, and the consecration of priests. The act of waving the offering signified the acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and the worshiper's gratitude and submission to Him. The wave offering was typically performed by the priest, who would wave the offering in different directions, symbolizing its presentation to God.
