English: “And the kohen shall take the basket from your hand” — this teaches that the owners hand the basket to the kohen, and the kohen sets it down before the altar. “And set it down” — with tenufah (waving).
In Sifrei / Yerushalmi: The transfer is a formal act: the bringer presents, the kohen receives and places (with the waving rite) before the altar. The verse fixes both the actor and the location.
