Numbers 18:18 Meaning and Commentary

Numbers 18:18

And the flesh of them shall be thine
For him and his family to eat of, whether blemished or perfect the Jews say ^F12:

as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine:
which were his part of the peace offerings, for him and his sons to eat of, ( Leviticus 7:34 ) ; and the Jews observe ^F13, that as the wave breast and heave shoulder of the peace offerings might be eaten in two days and one night, so might those of the firstlings.

Numbers 18:18 In-Context

16 When the firstborn is a month old it must be redeemed at the redemption price of five shekels of silver, using the standard of the Sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs.

17 "On the other hand, you don't redeem a firstborn ox, sheep, or goat - they are holy. Instead splash their blood on the Altar and burn their fat as a Fire-Gift, a pleasing fragrance to God.

18 But you get the meat, just as you get the breast from the Wave-Offering and the right thigh.

19 All the holy offerings that the People of Israel set aside for God, I'm turning over to you and your children. That's the standard rule and includes both you and your children - a Covenant-of-Salt, eternal and unchangeable before God."

20 God said to Aaron, "You won't get any inheritance in land, not so much as a small plot of ground: I am your plot of ground, I am your inheritance among the People of Israel.
