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 From the Peace-Offerings of Israel, I'm giving the breast of the Wave-Offering and the thigh of the Contribution-Offering to Aaron the priest and his sons. This is their fixed compensation from the People of Israel."
35 From the day they are presented to serve as priests to God, Aaron and his sons can expect to receive these allotments from the gifts of God.
36 This is what God commanded the People of Israel to give the priests from the day of their anointing. This is the fixed rule down through the generations.
37 These are the instructions for the Whole-Burnt-Offering, the Grain-Offering, the Absolution-Offering, the Compensation-Offering, the Ordination-Offering, and the Peace-Offering
38 which God gave Moses at Mount Sinai on the day he commanded the People of Israel to present their offerings to God in the wilderness of Sinai.
