After you take the breast of the ram for Aaron's ordination, wave it before the Lord as a wave offering, and it will be your share. The wave breast — the breast of the ordination ram waved before the Lord — is Moses' portion as the officiating priest. The distribution of the ordination offering's portions begins with Moses receiving the breast. The wave offering that Moses receives establishes the principle that the priest who officiates at sacrifice receives a portion of the offering. This provision for the officiating priest is the beginning of the system by which the priesthood is supported through the offerings: Leviticus 7:31–34 establishes the wave breast and the right thigh as the priests' regular portions.
