Exegesis
The cognate accusative tenufah {תְּנוּפָ֖ה | tə-nū-pāh} ‘wave offering’ specifies the act, and lifnei {לִפְנֵ֥י | lĭ-p̄nê} ‘before’ + yehovah {יְהוָֽה | yᵊ-hō-wāh} ‘the LORD’ identifies the locus of divine presence. This structure highlights priestly agency and the ritual’s focus on offering before the sovereign deity.
In context — Leviticus 14:24
And the priest shall take the lamb of the guilt offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the LORD .
