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.
