Leviticus 7:34

34 " 'I, the Lord, have taken the breast that is waved and the thigh that is given. I have taken them from the friendship offerings of the people of Israel. And I have given them to the priest Aaron and the priests who are in his family line. The offerings are their regular share from the people 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 Give the right thigh from your friendship offerings to the priest as a gift.
33 The priest who offers the blood and fat from the friendship offering must be given the right thigh. It is his share.
34 " 'I, the Lord, have taken the breast that is waved and the thigh that is given. I have taken them from the friendship offerings of the people of Israel. And I have given them to the priest Aaron and the priests who are in his family line. The offerings are their regular share from the people of Israel.' "
35 That is the part of the offerings that are made to the LORD with fire and given to Aaron and the priests who are in his family line. It was given to Aaron and his sons on the day they were set apart to serve the LORD as priests.
36 On the day they were anointed, the LORD commanded the people of Israel to give that part to them. For all time to come, it will be the regular share of Aaron and the priests who are in his family line.
