Leviticus 7:32

32 And the right shoulder shall ye give to the priest [for] a heave-offering of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings.

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 His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, that shall he bring, that the breast may be waved [for] a wave-offering before the LORD.

31 And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.

32 And the right shoulder shall ye give to the priest [for] a heave-offering of the sacrifices of your peace-offerings.

33 He among the sons' of Aaron that offereth the blood of the peace-offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for [his] part.

34 For the wave-breast and the heave-shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace-offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a statute for ever, from among the children of Israel.
