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 adipes autem bovis et caudam arietis renunculosque cum adipibus suis et reticulum iecoris
20 posuerunt super pectora cumque cremati essent adipes in altari
21 pectora eorum et armos dextros separavit Aaron elevans coram Domino sicut praeceperat Moses
22 et tendens manum contra populum benedixit eis sicque conpletis hostiis pro peccato et holocaustis et pacificis descendit
23 ingressi autem Moses et Aaron tabernaculum testimonii et deinceps egressi benedixerunt populo apparuitque gloria Domini omni multitudini
