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.

The breast also together with the shoulder is assigned to him for eating, that he may learn to immolate to the Giver of all that of himself which he is enjoined to take of the Sacrifice; that he may not only in his breast entertain right thoughts, but with the shoulder of work invite those who behold him to things on high; that he may covet no prosperity of the present life, and fear no adversity; that, having regard to the fear within him, he may despise the charm of the world, but considering the charm of inward sweetness, may despise its terrors.
