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 ) .

Leviticus 7:36 In-Context

34 for I have taken from the sons of Israel of their sacrifices of peace the breast that is waved and the shoulder that is set apart and have given them unto Aaron, the priest, and unto his sons by a perpetual statute among the sons of Israel.

35 This is the anointing of Aaron and the anointing of his sons of the offerings on fire unto the LORD from the day when he brought them in to be priests of the LORD,

36 which portions the LORD commanded to be given to them from the day that he anointed them from among the sons of Israel by a perpetual statute throughout their generations.

37 This is the law of the burnt offering, of the present, of sin, of guilt, of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of peace,

38 which the LORD commanded Moses in Mount Sinai in the day that he commanded the sons of Israel to offer their offerings unto the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai.
