Wave-offering ... heave-offering - The latter appears to be used (like קרבן qorbân, Lev 1:2) for offerings in general. Waving (a moving to and fro, repeated several times) or heaving (a lifting up once) the offering was a solemn form of dedicating a thing to the use of the sanctuary.
This site's exposition
Then the LORD said to Moses
on Leviticus 7:28-34
The breast goes to Aaron and his sons, and the right thigh to the priest who presents the blood and fat. Verse 34 says the LORD took those parts from the sons of Israel and gave them to the priests, so their food is His gift.
This site's exposition
With his own hands he is to bring
John Wesley describes the sequence: after the animal was killed and cut up, the priest put the fat and the breast into the offerer's hands. The breast is waved before the LORD while the fat goes to the altar.
The record, by era
The Puritans and the Awakening3 voices
His own hands - After the beast was killed, and the parts of it divided, the priest was to put the parts mentioned into the hands of the offerer. Offerings made by fire - So called, not strictly, as burnt-offerings are, because some parts of these were left for the priest, but more largely, because even these peace-offerings were in part, tho' not wholly, burnt.
His own hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire,....
Jesus Christ is our great peace-offering; for he made himself a sacrifice, not only to atone for sin, and so to save us from the curse, but to purchase a blessing for us, and all good. By our joyfully partaking of the benefits of redemption we feast upon the sacrifice, to signify which the Lord's supper was instituted.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)
He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the Lord--In order to show that the sacrifice was voluntary, the offerer was required to bring it with his own hands to the priest.
Wave-offering - See Clarke on Exo 29:27 (note).
