Leviticus 7:28-34

Continuation of Peace Offerings. An addition to the provisions of Leviticus 7:8. The breast and the thigh go to the priests, the latter to the officiator, the former to the priests in general (cf. 1 Samuel 2:13; Deuteronomy 18:3); here, a still larger portion is surrendered by the offerer. The breast is to be waved, moved backwards and forwards in the direction of the altar; the thigh is simply heaved, i.e. lifted out of the rest of the offering and laid aside, as in Leviticus 7:14.
