    what is a heave offering
  • David0921 - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Good morning Adrue1,

    I'm not going to get into specifics, but what I can tell you is that each and every one of the Old Testament Ceremonial Laws, as well as Water Baptism and the Lord's Supper during the Church Age were types and figures teaching some aspect of the Gospel. There was no efficacy or spiritual substance in these; they were signs and shadows to be observed focusing on the very substantive Nature of God's Judgment and Salvation plan.

    Hello Adrue1. A Heave Offering was a part of the other types of offerings that God had appointed for the children of Israel. The heave offering was not really a separate offering but the portion of another offering, given as a present, that was reserved for the use of the priests.

    Exodus 29:27,28: And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons: And it shall be Aaron's and his sons' by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD."

    It seems that it was similar to the Wave Offering, where instead of the offering being waved (moved from side-to-side) before the LORD, the Heave Offering was lifted in an up and down motion before God.

    The heave offering was often given in conjunction with tithes ( Leviticus 7:14,34) as a provision for the Levites, the priestly tribe who did not have land of their own and therefore could not grow their own food. They depended on the LORD's provision through tithes and heave offerings ( Numbers 18:24,29).
