Leviticus 7:32

32 The right thigh you shall give to the Kohen for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your shalom 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 With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.

31 The Kohen shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aharon's and his sons'.

32 The right thigh you shall give to the Kohen for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your shalom offerings.

33 He among the sons of Aharon who offers the blood of the shalom offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion.

34 For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Yisra'el out of the sacrifices of their shalom offerings, and have given them to Aharon the Kohen and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Yisra'el.'"
