Commentary on the Bible · Written before 1832.

The breast of the wave-offering, and the shoulder of the heave-offering - As the wave-offering was agitated to and fro, and the heave-offering up and down, some have conceived that this twofold action represented the figure of the cross, on which the great Peace-offering between God and man was offered in the personal sacrifice of our blessed Redeemer.

This site's exposition

take the breast of the ram

on Exodus 29:26-28

Moses takes the breast as his own portion, and he performs every priestly act in this chapter while the office itself passes to his brother. The breast and the shoulder then become a standing share for Aaron and his sons out of the people's peace offerings, and this is the first heave offering in Scripture. The men who stand between the people and God are fed by the people they stand for, which is the beginning of the arrangement Paul argues from at 1 Corinthians 9:13.
