Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew "nuph," the concept of offering and presenting gifts to God can be seen in Greek terms like προσφορά (prosphora, G4376) meaning "offering" or "sacrifice."

Usage: The Hebrew verb "nuph" primarily means to wave or to move something back and forth. It is often used in the context of ritualistic or ceremonial actions, particularly in the waving of offerings before the Lord as a symbolic gesture of dedication and consecration. This action signifies presenting something to God and acknowledging His sovereignty and provision.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite worship, the act of waving offerings was a significant ritual. It was part of the sacrificial system established in the Mosaic Law, where certain offerings, such as the wave offering, were presented before the Lord. This act was not merely a physical gesture but carried deep spiritual significance, symbolizing the offerer's devotion and the sanctification of the offering to God. The waving motion was also seen as a way to present the offering to the divine presence, acknowledging God's role as the ultimate provider and sustainer.

1 wield, move tool to and fro in using it, with עַלֿ of material: כִּי חֵרְבְּךָ הֵנַפְתָּ עָלֶיהָ Exodus 20:25 (E), i.e. over stone, so Deuteronomy 27:5; Joshua 8:31 (D), and Deuteronomy 23:26 a sickle thou shalt not wield over the standing grain of thy neighbour; absolute מְנִיפוֺ Isaiah 10:15 against him that wieldeth it (i.e. a saw), and כְּהָנִיף שֵׁבֶט וְאֶתמְֿרִימוֺ Isaiah 10:15 (read אֶתֿ) like a rod's wielding him that lifteth it.2.Shake or wave the hand;

4 Oft. technical term in P (H), of rite in which originally the priest lifted his share of offering and waved it, i.e. moved it toward altar and back, in token of its presentation to God and its return by him to priest: in H, ׳וְהֵנִיף אֶתהָֿעֹמֶר לִפְנֵי י Leviticus 23:11a compare Leviticus 23:11b; Leviticus 23:12, also Leviticus 23:20 (on text see Di Dr-WhHpt); in P, וְהֵנַפְתָּ֫ אֹתוֺ ׳תְּנוּפָה לִפְנֵי י Exodus 29:26, so Leviticus 7:30; Leviticus 8:29; Leviticus 10:15 (object omitted) Numbers 6:20; thus also Levites are set apart for service of the priests Numbers 8:11 (Di strike out see ), Numbers 8:13; Numbers 8:21, compare Numbers 8:14 (׳לִפְנֵי י omitted); but same phr, of entire lamb, with oil, Leviticus 14:12,24, and of offerings which were burnt, entirely Exodus 29:24 (compare Exodus 29:25), Leviticus 8:27 (compare Leviticus 8:28), or in part Numbers 5:25 (׳הֵנִיף הַמִּנְחָה לִפְנֵי י), — in these the original significance seems lost; so, clearly, of contributions for tabernacle, = offer ׳הֵנִיף תְּנוּפַת זָהָב לְי Exodus 35:22. — compare תְּנוּפָה below

5 Shed abroad (si vera lectio) גֶּשֶׁם נְדָבוֺת תָּנִיף Psalm 68:10 bounteous rain thou didst shed abroad [compare Ecclus 43:17c], but verb not wholly suitable; Lag Gr proposes תַּטִּיף, yet this also questionable.

Hoph`al Perfect3masculine singular הוּנַף, be waved, Exodus 29:27 (P), passive of Hiph`il 4.
