Leviticus 7:32

32 And ye shall give unto the priest to be elevated in offering the right shoulder of the sacrifices of your peace.

Leviticus 7:32 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 7:32

And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest [for]
an heave offering
Whether of an ox or a cow, a lamb or a goat:

of the sacrifices of your peace offerings;
which were of either of these creatures; the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it,

``the right arm from the shoulder to the elbow.''

The breast being the seat of wisdom, and the shoulder of strength, some think denote Christ as the wisdom and power of God unto his people, his priests, who have all their knowledge and strength from him, and who bears them on his heart and on his shoulder.

Leviticus 7:32 In-Context

30 his own hands shall bring the offerings which must be burned unto the LORD; he shall bring the fat with the breast that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.

31 And the priest shall incense the fat upon the altar; but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

32 And ye shall give unto the priest to be elevated in offering the right shoulder of the sacrifices of your peace.

33 He among the sons of Aaron that offers the blood of the peace and the fat shall have the right shoulder for his part;

34 for I have taken from the sons of Israel of their sacrifices of peace the breast that is waved and the shoulder that is set apart and have given them unto Aaron, the priest, and unto his sons by a perpetual statute among the sons of Israel.
