Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 10:14
And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place; thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for [they be] thy due, and thy sons’ due, [which] are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel.
14. For the ‘wave breast’ and the ‘heave thigh’ see Appendix IV, pp. 183 ff.
(6) Aaron’s excuse for not eating the Sin-Offering (16 20)
The Sin-Offering is that of Lev 9:15 which was offered as the first, i.e. as Aaron’s, Sin-Offering, and burnt without the camp (Lev 9:11). This burning (as opposed to eating by the priests) should only have taken place, if (as was not done in this case) the blood had been brought into the ‘tent of meeting.’ Moses is angry with Aaron’s sons, but they acted under direction, and Aaron acknowledges his responsibility by replying.

In a clean place; in any of your dwellings, or any place in the camp, which he supposeth to be kept clean from all ceremonial defilement, as they ought to be; whence the lepers were put out of the camp. See Num 5:1-3. In any place where the women as well as the men might come, for the daughters of the priests might eat these as well as their sons, as it here follows.
And thy daughters, to wit, if they were maids, or widows, or divorced, Lev 22:11-13.

And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall ye eat in a clean place,…. The breast of the peace offerings that was waved, and the shoulder of them that was heaved before the Lord; these were given by him to the priests, towards the maintenance of their families, Le 7:34 and they might be eaten anywhere, provided the place was clean from all ceremonial pollution, and in which there were no polluted persons, as leprous ones; they were to be eaten within the camp, as Jarchi observes, where lepers came not: for, as he adds, the light holy things, such as these were, might be eaten in every city; and so it it is said in the Misnah t, and by the commentators on it:
thou and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee; these were not restrained to him and his sons only, as the meat offerings, and the flesh of the sin offerings were, but were common to the whole family:
for [they be] thy due, and thy sons’ due; for their service of the sanctuary, and by the appointment and direction of the Lord:
[which] are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the children of Israel: of which see Le 7:1 these are said to be “given out” of them, for the whole was not given, only the breast and shoulder; and after the fat was burnt, the rest belonged to the owners, with which they kept a feast of joy and thankfulness.

(14) And the wave breast and heave shoulder.That is, of the peace offering which was offered by the nation. (See Lev. 9:18-21.) As they were given to the priests for the maintenance of their families (see Lev. 7:34), these portions might be eaten anywhere within the camp, provided the place was not defiled by ceremonial uncleanness.

Ver. 14. And the wave breast, and heave shoulder. ] These were the priests’ due: teaching them to set breast and shoulder to God’s work: and minding them, that a minister should be both a breast to love, and a shoulder to support the people in their troubles and burdens.

thy daughters. Note this: as well as sons. We must distinguish the privileges confined to males; others are common to all alike. The daughters could not eat of the “sin offering” (Lev 10:17), but could eat of the “meal offering” (Lev 10:14).
