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 Aaron's sons also brought to Aaron the fat of the bull and the male sheep -- the fat tail, the fat covering the inner organs, the kidneys, and the best part of the liver.
20 Aaron's sons put them on the breasts of the bull and the sheep. Then Aaron burned these fat parts on the altar.
21 He presented the breasts and the right thigh before the Lord as the priests' share of the offering, as Moses had commanded.
22 Then Aaron lifted his hands toward the people and blessed them. When he had finished offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the fellowship offering, he stepped down from the altar.
23 Moses and Aaron went into the Meeting Tent. Then they came out and blessed the people, and the Lord's glory came to all the people.
