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 Then he took the fat of the bull and the ram—the fat of the broad tail and from around the internal organs—along with the kidneys and the long lobes of the livers.

20 He placed these fat portions on top of the breasts of these animals and burned them on the altar.

21 Aaron then lifted up the breasts and right thighs as a special offering to the LORD, just as Moses had commanded.

22 After that, Aaron raised his hands toward the people and blessed them. Then, after presenting the sin offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offering, he stepped down from the altar.

23 Then Moses and Aaron went into the Tabernacle, and when they came back out, they blessed the people again, and the glory of the LORD appeared to the whole community.
