Leviticus 7:30

The Portion of Aaron and His Sons

28 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

29 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ^a‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offering to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offering.

30 ^aHis own hands shall bring the offerings made by fire to the Lord. The fat with the breast he shall bring, that the ^bbreast may be waved as a wave offering before the Lord.

31 ^aAnd the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the ^bbreast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

32 ^aAlso the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

33 He among the sons of Aaron, who offers the blood of the peace offering and the fat, shall have the right thigh for his part.

34 For ^athe breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering I have taken from the children of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the children of Israel by a statute forever.’ ”

35 This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons, from the offerings made by fire to the Lord, on the day when Moses presented them to¹ minister to the Lord as priests.

36 The Lord commanded this to be given to them by the children of Israel, ^aon the day that He anointed them, by a statute forever throughout their generations.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Leviticus 7:29

Leviticus 7:31 >>

His own hands - After the beast was killed, and the parts of it divided, the priest was to put the parts mentioned into the hands of the offerer. Offerings made by fire - So called, not strictly, as burnt - offerings are, because some parts of these were left for the priest, but more largely, because even these peace - offerings were in part, tho' not wholly, burnt. Waved - To and fro, by his hands, which were supported and directed by the hands of the priest.
