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 comedetis autem in loco sancto quod datum est tibi et filiis tuis de oblationibus Domini sicut praeceptum est mihi
14 pectusculum quoque quod oblatum est et armum qui separatus est edetis in loco mundissimo tu et filii tui ac filiae tuae tecum tibi enim ac liberis tuis reposita sunt de hostiis salutaribus filiorum Israhel
15 eo quod armum et pectus et adipes qui cremantur in altari elevaverint coram Domino et pertineant ad te et ad filios tuos lege perpetua sicut praecepit Dominus
16 inter haec hircum qui oblatus fuerat pro peccato cum quaereret Moses exustum repperit iratusque contra Eleazar et Ithamar filios Aaron qui remanserant ait
17 cur non comedistis hostiam pro peccato in loco sancto quae sancta sanctorum est et data vobis ut portetis iniquitatem multitudinis et rogetis pro ea in conspectu Domini
