Numbers18:11

11 And this is thine: the heave-offering of their gift , with all the wave-offerings of the children of Israel: I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters with thee , by a statute for ever: every one that is clean in thy house e shall eat of it.

(i. e.) The right-shoulder, which was the Priests.

To wit, of their peace-offerings, as may appear because here is an enumeration of all that belonged to the Priest in the several oblations, and therefore it is not likely that he would omit the peace-of-ferings, wherein the Priest had a share, and the very share here spoken of and called an heave-offering, which was the right shoulder, Lev. 7. 32. which also might be eaten by the daughters, Lev. 7. 34. and 10. 14. as is here said. See Numb. 6. 17, &c.

To wit, the breasts of the peace-offerings, which were waved, Lev. 7. 30, 31, 34.

(i. e.) Who are with thee in thy house, for if they were married to strangers, they might not eat of them, Lev. 22. 12, 13.

d To wit, as fixed members of thy house, though they be bond-slaves: for strangers and hired servants were excepted, Lev. 22. 10, 11.

Marginal references: Lev. 10. 14. Deut. 18. 3.; Lev. 22. 2.
