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 they are one month old, you must make a payment for them of two ounces of silver, as set by the Holy Place measure.

17 "But you must not make a payment for the firstborn ox or sheep or goat. Those animals are holy. Sprinkle their blood on the altar and burn their fat as an offering made by fire. The smell is pleasing to the Lord.

18 But the meat will be yours, just as the breast that is presented and the right thigh will be yours.

19 Anything the Israelites present as holy gifts I, the Lord, give to you, your sons and daughters as your continual portion. This is a last-ing agreement of saltn before the Lord for you and your children forever."

20 The Lord also said to Aaron, "You will not inherit any of the land, and you will not own any land among the other people. I will be yours. Out of all the Israelites, only you will inherit me.
