Leviticus 7:33 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:33

He among the sons of Aaron that offereth the blood of the
peace offerings, and the fat
Who sprinkled the blood of them upon the altar round about, and burnt the fat upon it, which were rites enjoined to be observed, ( Leviticus 3:2-5 ) :

shall have the right shoulder for [his] part;
his particular part and share, because of his service: Aben Ezra remarks, that the right shoulder was given to him that sprinkled the blood, and the breast to all the priests; and Jarchi observes, that he that was fit for sprinkling the blood, and burning the fat, and went out an unclean person in the time of sprinkling the blood, or burning the fat, had no part in the flesh.

Leviticus 7:33 In-Context

31 "The priest will burn the fat on the altar. However, the breast will belong to Aaron and his sons.
32 You will also give the priest the right thigh as a contribution.
33 When any of Aaron's sons offer the blood and fat of the fellowship offering, the right thigh will belong to him as his share.
34 From the fellowship offerings of the Israelites, I have taken the breast that was presented [to me] and the thigh from the contribution offering. I have given them to the priest Aaron and his sons. This is a permanent law for generations to come.
35 "This is the share for Aaron and his sons from the sacrifices by fire made to the LORD. It was given to them on the day Moses ordained them to serve the LORD as priests.
