Menachos 5:6-7

Menachos 5:6

These things require waving but not bringing near: the log of oil and the guilt offering of a metzora; first fruits according to the opinion Rabbi Eliezer ben Yaakov; the fats, breast and thigh of private peace offerings by Jewish men or women but not by others; the two loaves and the two lambs of Shavuos. In this case, the kohein places the loaves on the lambs and puts his hands underneath. He then swings them back and forth, up and down, as per Exodus 29:27, “that is waved and heaved up.” Waving was performed on the east side of the altar and bringing near on the west side; waving was performed before bringing near. The flour offerings of the omer and of the sotah require both waving and bringing near, while the showbread and the flour offering of libations require neither.

Menachos 5:7

Rabbi Shimon says that three kinds of offerings require three rituals – two each, but not the third: the peace offerings of an individual and of the community, and the guilt offering of a metzora. The peace offering of an individual requires laying the hands while the animal is alive (semicha) and waving after it has been slaughtered but not waving while it is alive. The peace offerings of the community require waving while the animal is alive and after it has been slaughtered but not laying the hands. The guilt offering of a metzora requires laying the hands and waving while alive, but not waving after slaughter.
