Leviticus 7:36 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:36

Which the Lord commanded to be given them of the children
of Israel
Whenever they brought their offerings to be offered up by them, such parts thereof were ordered to be allowed them as theirs; in the day that he anointed them;
or from the day they were anointed of Moses, by the direction of the Lord, from that time they had a right and claim to the above things, out of the sacrifices brought, so Aben Ezra: and this was by a statute for ever throughout their generations;
in all successive generations, unto the coming of the Messiah, which would put an end to their priesthood. Thus the Lord provided for the maintenance of his ministers, till that time came; and since it has been the ordinance of Christ, that they which preach the Gospel should live of the Gospel, ( 1 Corinthians 9:13 1 Corinthians 9:14 ) .

34 For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Yisra'el out of the sacrifices of their shalom offerings, and have given them to Aharon the Kohen and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Yisra'el.'"

35 This is the anointing portion of Aharon, and the anointing portion of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to the LORD in the Kohen's office;

36 which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Yisra'el, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations.

37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meal offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecration, and of the sacrifice of shalom offerings;

38 which the LORD commanded Moshe in Mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Yisra'el to offer their offerings to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
