Alternate translation: [And the Nazirite shall hand them back to the priest, and the priest shall raise them]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

The expression raised offering is a passive verbal form. If your language would not use that form, you could express the idea in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: [as an offering that the priests raise … the offering that the priests raise]

Yahweh assumes that readers will know that the breast and thigh portions of peace offerings were always given to the priests as their share of the offering. See [Leviticus 7:28–34](../lev/07/28.md) for more information on this. You could say that explicitly if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [upon the breast of the raised offering and upon the thigh of the contribution that are always given to the priest from any peace offering]

The phrase upon the breast … and upon the thigh is a common expression of this culture that means “in addition to the breast and thigh.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly.
