Leviticus 7:32

32 armus quoque dexter de pacificorum hostiis cedet in primitias sacerdotis

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 tenebit manibus adipem hostiae et pectusculum cumque ambo oblata Domino consecrarit tradet sacerdoti

31 qui adolebit adipem super altare pectusculum autem erit Aaron et filiorum eius

32 armus quoque dexter de pacificorum hostiis cedet in primitias sacerdotis

33 qui obtulerit sanguinem et adipem filiorum Aaron ipse habebit et armum dextrum in portione sua

34 pectusculum enim elationis et armum separationis tuli a filiis Israhel de hostiis eorum pacificis et dedi Aaron sacerdoti ac filiis eius lege perpetua ab omni populo Israhel
