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.
