The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. The division of the fellowship offering after the wave: the fat goes to the altar; the breast goes to Aaron and his sons — the entire priestly family, not just the officiating priest. The breast that was waved before the Lord becomes the priestly community's food. The wave before the Lord and the eating by the priests are inseparable: the presentation to God and the distribution to God's servants are one continuous act of the fellowship offering.
