Leviticus 7:34 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:34

For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of
the children of Israel
These two parts were particularly pitched upon and selected:

from off the sacrifices of their peace offering;
the rest being allowed the owners, besides what were burnt:

and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons, by a
statute for ever from among the children of Israel;
as long as the priesthood lasted, even to the coming of the Messiah, in whom all these sacrifices would have their accomplishment and their end.

Leviticus 7:34 In-Context

32 The right hind leg of the animal shall be given as a special contribution

33 to the priest who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering.

34 The breast of the animal is a special gift, and the right hind leg is a special contribution that the Lord has taken from the people of Israel and given to the priests. This is what the people of Israel must give to the priests for all time to come.

35 This is the part of the food offered to the Lord that was given to Aaron and his sons on the day they were ordained as priests.

36 On that day the Lord commanded the people of Israel to give them this part of the offering. It is a regulation that the people of Israel must obey for all time to come.
