From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Heave offering
      Heb. terumah, (Ex. 29:27) means simply an offering, a present,
      including all the offerings made by the Israelites as a present.
      This Hebrew word is frequently employed. Some of the rabbis
      attach to the word the meaning of elevation, and refer it to the
      heave offering, which consisted in presenting the offering by a
      motion up and down, distinguished from the wave offering, which
      consisted in a repeated movement in a horizontal direction, a
      "wave offering to the Lord as ruler of earth, a heave offering
      to the Lord as ruler of heaven." The right shoulder, which fell
      to the priests in presenting thank offerings, was called the
      heave shoulder (Lev. 7:34; Num. 6:20). The first fruits offered
      in harvest-time (Num. 15:20, 21) were heave offerings.
