Leviticus 7:32

32 You will give the right thigh of your communal sacrifice of well-being to the priest as a gift.

Leviticus 7:32 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:32

And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest [for]
an heave offering
Whether of an ox or a cow, a lamb or a goat:

of the sacrifices of your peace offerings;
which were of either of these creatures; the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it,

``the right arm from the shoulder to the elbow.''

The breast being the seat of wisdom, and the shoulder of strength, some think denote Christ as the wisdom and power of God unto his people, his priests, who have all their knowledge and strength from him, and who bears them on his heart and on his shoulder.

Leviticus 7:32 In-Context

30 Your own hands must bring the LORD's food gifts. You will bring the fat with the breast so that the breast can be lifted as an uplifted offering before the LORD.
31 The priest will completely burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will go to Aaron and his sons.
32 You will give the right thigh of your communal sacrifice of well-being to the priest as a gift.
33 The right thigh will belong to the son of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the well-being offering.
34 I have taken the breast of the uplifted offering and the thigh that is given by the Israelites from their communal sacrifices of well-being, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as a permanent portion from the Israelites.
