Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

an heave: Numbers 18:26, Exodus 29:27, Deuteronomy 12:12, Deuteronomy 12:19

Reciprocal: Exodus 29:28 - is an heave Leviticus 7:14 - an heave Numbers 18:19 - the heave Numbers 31:41 - Eleazar 2 Chronicles 15:11 - offered

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And take it of their half,.... Of the half part of the prey divided to the soldiers:

and give it unto Eleazar the priest for an heave offering of the Lord; by way of thanksgiving for the success and victory, God had given them, by means of which so much booty had fallen into their hands.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

An heave-offering - Render simply an offering, and compare Numbers 18:24. The verb from which the word here rendered “heave-offering” is derived, is rightly translated “levy” in Numbers 31:28.
