“And this shall be the priest’s due from the people, from them that offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep; and they shall give unto the priest the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.”
This shall be the priests' due from the people, from those offering a sacrifice, whether an ox or a sheep: they shall give to the priest the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the stomach — the priestly portions (the shoulder/zeroah, cheeks/lehaim, stomach/keivah) are the specific viscera, establishing a fixed, dignified system of support that honors the priests' role in maintaining covenant.
