Now, it did not just go to the sons of Aaron, which might be construed as meaning just strictly the priests. But it went to the sons and the daughters, which indicates the family of the priests. I am sure included in that was also the wife of the priest but that was all that God needed to put in there so that would be clear to us.

Again, remember I Peter 2:5 and 9, that we are a holy priesthood. Now, what he is talking about here is that we, the church, are to eat of the food of the altar. Spiritually, of course, this is the Word of God that we are to eat of. The altar represents God's table and we are to eat of that. What that means then, since we are eating from the table of God, of the offerings of the children of Israel, that we are, as a priesthood, in communion with God. And we are seen here as doing or having a portion in the work of the priest. It shows, then, that we have a claim on the sacrifice.

Today, all who have communion with God, all who have fellowship with God, all who are in union with God (I want to put this in as many ways as I possibly can so that you can get the picture), must share that communion with God's priests and with His children, which is the rest of the church, your brethren. If you brought an offering you shared in that offering.
