Commentary
5 notes on this verseIn a clean place - In any of your dwellings, or any place in the camp, which was kept clean from all ceremonial defilement. In any place where the women as well as the men might come, for the daughters of the priest might eat these as well as their sons, if they were maids, or widows, or divorced, chap. xxii, 11-13.
This site's exposition
the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat
on Leviticus 10:14-15
The chapter names two portions and two places to eat them. The meat offering is most holy and is eaten beside the altar, while the wave breast and heave shoulder out of the peace offerings are eaten in any clean place by the priest's sons and daughters together. Holiness is graded here by who may eat and where he stands, and Leviticus 22:12 sets a limit on which daughters keep the right.

proposed
Moses spake unto Aaron, &c.--This was a timely and considerate rehearsal of the laws that regulated the conduct of the priests. Amid the distractions of their family bereavement, Aaron and his surviving sons might have forgotten or overlooked some of their duties.
Wave-breast and heave-shoulder - See Leviticus 7 (note), and Exo 29:27 (note).
