Contextual Overview

8 And Jehovah spoke to Aaron, saying, And I, behold, I have given to you the charge of My heave offerings, of all the dedicated things of the sons of Israel. I have given them to you for the anointing, and to your sons, by a never ending statute. 9 This shall be yours of the most holy things, from the fire: every offering of theirs, even every food offering of theirs, and every sin offering of theirs, and every guilt offering of theirs, which they may render to Me; it shall be most holy to you, and to your sons. 10 You shall eat it in the Holy of Holies; every male shall eat it; it shall be holy to you. 11 And this is yours, the heave offering of their gift with all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel. I have given them to you, and to your sons, and to your daughters with you, by a neverending statute; every clean one in your houseshall eat it. 12 All the best of the oil, and all the best of the new wine, and wheat, the first fruits of them which they give to Jehovah, I have given to you. 13 The firstfruits of all that is in their land, which they bring in to Jehovah shall be yours; every clean one in your house shall eat it; 14 every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours; 15 every one opening a womb of all flesh which they offer to Jehovah, among man and among animal, shall be yours. Only, you shall certainly redeem the first-born of man, and you shall redeem the firstling of the unclean beasts. 16 And their redeemed ones, from a month old, you shall redeem with your valuation of silver, five shekels, by the shekel of the sanctuary; it is twenty gerahs. 17 But the firstling of an ox, or the firstling of a sheep, or the firstling of a goat, you shall not redeem; they are holy. You shall sprinkle their blood on the altar, and you shall burn their fat as incense, a fire offering of soothing fragrance to Jehovah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the flesh of them shall be thine,.... For him and his family to eat of, whether blemished or perfect the Jews say l:

as the wave breast and as the right shoulder are thine: which were his part of the peace offerings, for him and his sons to eat of, Leviticus 7:34; and the Jews observe m, that as the wave breast and heave shoulder of the peace offerings might be eaten in two days and one night, so might those of the firstlings.

l Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Becorot, c. 4. sect. 2. & 5. 2. m Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Zebachim, c. 5. sect. 8.
