The heave-offering, i.e. the right shoulder, which was the priests.
Of their gift, to wit, of their peace-offerings, as may appear, because here is an enumeration of all that belonged to the priest in the several oblations, and therefore it is not likely that he would omit the peace-offerings, wherein the priest had a share, and the very share here spoken of and called a heave-offering, which was the right shoulder, Lev 7:32, which also might be eaten by the daughters, Lev 7:34; 10:14, as is here said. See Num 6:17, &c. The wave-offerings, to wit, the breasts of the peace-offerings, which were waved Lev 7:30,31,34.
With thee, i.e. who are with thee in thy house; for if they were married to strangers, they might not eat of them, Lev 22:12,13.
In thy house, to wit, as fixed members of thy house, though they be bond-slaves; for strangers and hired servants were excepted, Lev 22:10,11.

And this [is] thine,…. What follow, which appertained to the priests, are the less or lighter holy things:
the heave offering of their gift: the right shoulder, given to the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of peace offerings, Le 7:32; according to Jarchi, it was what was lifted up or heaved from the thank offering, the peace offerings, and the ram of the Nazarites, see Le 7:14;
with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel; which were waved to and fro before the Lord, as the breast of the peace offerings, called therefore the wave breast, Le 7:30;
I have given them unto thee, and to thy sons, and to thy daughters with thee, by a statute for ever; for these were to be eaten in their own houses, and by their families, wives, children, and servants bought with their money, or born in their houses; but not hired servants, nor sojourners, nor strangers; nor their daughters married to strangers though, if widows, or divorced, and without children, and returned to their father’s house, they might eat of them, Le 22:10; thus a provision was made for the maintenance of the priests of the Lord and their families, until the Messiah should come; who has also appointed that they that preach the Gospel should live of it, 1Co 9:13;
everyone that is clean in thy house shall eat of it: that was clean in a ceremonial sense; had not touched a dead body, c. Jarchi says, this is said to comprehend his wife but that might be concluded from what is said before, for if his children, much more might his wife eat of it.

11. The wave offerings The waving or moving to and fro of sacrifices was a sign of dedication. This was done in the case of the thank offering with the breast and right shoulder, Lev 9:21; Lev 10:15, and in the case of the Nazarite’s meat offering, Num 6:20. See Lev 7:30; Lev 23:20, notes.
Sons and daughters All the members of the priestly families, both male and female, including the bought and house-born servants, (Deu 12:12,) ceremonially clean, (Lev 22:3,) might eat the following holy things: The heave and wave offerings, the firstfruits, all the fat (best) of (olive) oil, new wine, and corn, and every clean thing devoted or placed under the ban. To the priest also belonged every firstborn of man and beast, all of which were redeemable except the perfect firstborn of the sacrificial animals. See Num 5:9, note.
