Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Leviticus 7:32
And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest [for] a heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
32. the right thigh ] not ‘shoulder’ as mg. The plural ‘ye’ indicates the composite character of this section. The right thigh was a further due of the priests, given to the officiating priest, as well as the breast, which was given to Aaron and his sons for ever ( Lev 7:34).
The priestly dues seem to have gradually increased. According to 1Sa 2:13 ff. the worshipper was apparently allowed to decide for himself how much to give. The priestly portion assigned in 1Sa 9:24 to Saul as a mark of honour was ‘the thigh, and the fat tail.’ (See note on p. 12.) The legislation of Deut. (Deu 18:3) gives the priest ‘the shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw.’ But here (cp. Lev 10:14 f.; Exo 29:27 f.) he was still better off with the wave breast and right thigh.

And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest [for] an heave offering,…. Whether of an ox or a cow, a lamb or a goat:
of the sacrifices of your peace offerings; which were of either of these creatures; the Targum of Jonathan paraphrases it,
“the right arm from the shoulder to the elbow.”
The breast being the seat of wisdom, and the shoulder of strength, some think denote Christ as the wisdom and power of God unto his people, his priests, who have all their knowledge and strength from him, and who bears them on his heart and on his shoulder.
