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 His own hands will bring the fire offerings to the Lord. He will bring the fat together with the breast. The breast is to be waved as a presentation offering before the Lord.

31 The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.

32 You are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your fellowship sacrifices.

33 The son of Aaron who presents the blood of the fellowship offering and the fat will have the right thigh as a portion.

34 I have taken from the Israelites the breast of the presentation offering and the thigh of the contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, and have assigned them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion from the Israelites."
