And thou shall sanctify the breast of the wave offering, etc.] Set it apart for the use of the priest in all succeeding ages: and the shoulder of the heave offering: as the breast was waved from one hand to another, or cast from the hand of one to the hand of another; the shoulder was heaved up, or cast up and caught again: this also was to be sanctified or set apart for the priest’s use, (<030732>Leviticus 7:32-34), which is waved, and which is heaved up of the ram of the consecration: the breast was waved and the shoulder heaved: even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons; as these two parts before mentioned in peace offerings were.
