Leviticus 9:21 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 9:21

And the breasts and the right shoulder
The breasts of the bullock and the ram, and the right shoulders of them both:

Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord;
which was given to him as his part of the peace offerings, after they had been thus waved before the Lord; whereby an acknowledgment was made that he was Lord of all, and had a right to all they had; in token of which these parts were given to his priests towards their maintenance:

as Moses commanded;
see ( Exodus 29:27 Exodus 29:28 ) ( Leviticus 7:34-36 ) .

Leviticus 9:21 In-Context

19 They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram-the fat tail, the [fat] surrounding [the entrails], the kidneys, and the fatty lobe of the liver-

20 and placed these on the breasts. Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar,

21 but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a presentation offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.

22 Aaron lifted up his hands toward the people and blessed them. He came down after sacrificing the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the fellowship offering.

23 Moses and Aaron then entered the tent of meeting. When they came out, they blessed the people, and the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people.
