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 of Aaron’s ordination

on Exodus 29:26-28

The breast and thigh become a regular share for Aaron and his sons from the people's peace offerings. Those who stand between the people and God are fed by them, the arrangement Paul argues from at 1 Corinthians 9:13.
