Exodus 25 Heave Offering missing in ESV & NASB
Puzzled why the ESV & NASB translators , translate the text "contribution" Darby and KJV use heave offerings , as do most others. Loses the idea of Godward offering, the idea of vertical worship.
The NET bible has this commentary
tn The “offering” (תְּרוּמָה, tÿrumah) is perhaps better understood as a contribution since it was a freewill offering. There is some question about the etymology of the word. The traditional meaning of “heave-offering” derives from the idea of “elevation,” a root meaning “to be high” lying behind the word. B. Jacob says it is something sorted out of a mass of material and designated for a higher purpose (Exodus, 765). S. R. Driver (Exodus, 263) corrects the idea of “heave-offering” by relating the root to the Hiphil form of that root, herim, “to lift” or “take off.” He suggests the noun means “what is taken off” from a larger mass and so designated for sacred purposes. The LXX has “something taken off.”

Or trumah (Deut 12:11) {ter-oo-maw'}; from ruwm; a present (as offered up), especially in sacrifice or as tribute -- gift, heave offering ((shoulder)), oblation, offered(-ing).
