Leviticus 10:15 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 10:15

The heave shoulder and wave breast shall they bring
Not the priests, but the owners to the priests, ( Leviticus 7:29 Leviticus 7:30 ) :

with the offerings made by fire of the fat:
upon the inwards, kidneys, and caul of the liver, which was all burnt:

to wave [it] for a wave offering before the Lord,
the shoulder was lifted up, and the breast waved to and fro before the Lord of the whole earth, and towards the several parts of it, to show and own his right to all they had, and then they were given to the priests as a token of it:

and it shall be thine, and thy sons with thee;
both the shoulder and the breast:

by a statute for ever,
to be observed as long as the ceremonial law and Levitical priesthood lasted, even to the end of the Jewish age and economy, and the coming of the Messiah:

as the Lord hath commanded;
( Leviticus 7:33 Leviticus 7:34 ) .

Leviticus 10:15 In-Context

13 Eat it in a holy place; it is the part that belongs to you and your sons from the food offered to the Lord. That is what the Lord commanded me.

14 But you and your families may eat the breast and the hind leg that are presented as the special gift and the special contribution to the Lord for the priests. You may eat them in any ritually clean place. These offerings have been given to you and your children as the part that belongs to you from the fellowship offerings of the people of Israel.

15 They shall bring the hind leg and the breast at the time the fat is presented as a food offering to the Lord. These parts belong to you and your children forever, just as the Lord commanded."

16 Moses asked about the goat for the sin offering and learned that it had already been burned. This made him angry at Eleazar and Ithamar, and he demanded,

17 "Why didn't you eat the sin offering in a sacred place? It is very holy, and the Lord has given it to you in order to take away the sin of the community.
