Leviticus 7:34

34 For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel.

Leviticus 7:34 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:34

For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of
the children of Israel
These two parts were particularly pitched upon and selected:

from off the sacrifices of their peace offering;
the rest being allowed the owners, besides what were burnt:

and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons, by a
statute for ever from among the children of Israel;
as long as the priesthood lasted, even to the coming of the Messiah, in whom all these sacrifices would have their accomplishment and their end.

Leviticus 7:34 In-Context

32 And the right leg you are to give to the priest for an offering to be lifted up out of what is given for your peace-offerings.

33 That man, among the sons of Aaron, by whom the blood of the peace-offering and the fat are offered, is to have the right leg for his part.

34 For the breast which is waved and the right leg which is lifted up on high I have taken from the children of Israel, from their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their right for ever from the children of Israel.

35 This is the holy part given to Aaron and to his sons, out of the offerings made to the Lord by fire, on the day when they were made priests before the Lord;

36 Which the Lord said the children of Israel were to give them, on the day when he made them his priests. It is their right for ever from generation to generation.
