Here, the breast is the portion of the animal’s flesh consisting of the larger part of the animal’s chest below the region of the neck. The breast and the fat on the breast were considered uniquely choice portions of meat and fat. Consequently, it was dedicated especially to Yahweh. If your language has a special term for this portion of meat and fat, consider using it here. If not, consider using a generic expression. Alternate translation: [the fat that is on the breast meat … the breast meat itself]

Alternate translation: [to lift and show off the breast meat of the sacrifice in Yahweh’s presence” or (2) causing the smell of the sacrifice to waft in Yahweh’s direction, creating a “pleasant smell to Yahweh” that would result in the acceptance of the sacrifice. Alternate translation: [to move the breast meat of the sacrifice back and forth overhead so that the smell of the meat is wafted to Yahweh’s presence]
