“The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the Lord; and it shall be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by a statute for ever; as the Lord hath commanded.”
The thigh that was presented and the breast that was waved must be brought with the fat portions of the food offerings, to be waved before the Lord as a wave offering. This will be the perpetual share for you and your children, as the Lord has commanded. The perpetual share for the priestly family — the wave breast and the presented thigh — is grounded in the divine command. What God commanded as the priestly provision is God's gift to the priestly family for generations. The perpetual provision communicates the perpetual vocation: as long as the priestly ministry continues, the priestly provision continues. The covenant that establishes the priesthood also establishes the priesthood's sustenance.
