תְּנוּפָה30 H8573
A wave-offering presented ritually before the LORD; also the physical act of brandishing or waving.
Primarily a technical cultic term for the wave-offering in Levitical sacrifice, where portions of meat, grain, or even the Levites themselves were ritually presented before the LORD by a waving motion (Exod 29:24-27). The word תְּנוּפָה appears almost exclusively in Priestly legislation. Outside the cult, Isaiah twice uses it for the terrifying brandishing of God's hand against Egypt (Isa 19:16) and weapons of divine warfare (Isa 30:32), revealing that the root sense of vigorous, purposeful motion underlies both usages.
Senses
1. wave-offering (ritual) — The ritual wave-offering (28x), a technical term from the Priestly source for portions of sacrifice waved before the LORD. Spanish "ofrenda mecida" (swung offering) and German "Webeopfer" (wave-sacrifice) each capture the kinetic dimension of the rite. Key passages include the ordination offering (Exod 29:24), the gold of the tabernacle (Exod 35:22), and the remarkable waving of the Levites themselves as a living offering (Num 8:11, 13, 15). 28×

2. waving, brandishing — A non-cultic sense (2x) denoting aggressive waving or brandishing. In Isa 19:16 it describes the terrifying brandishing of the LORD's hand over Egypt, and in Isa 30:32 it refers to battles fought with brandished weapons. Spanish "agitación" (agitation) and the Hebrew root's kinetic energy show continuity with the cultic waving — the same vigorous motion, now turned to warfare. 2×
