When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling / and plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh. ... 2 Chronicles 31:4-10 Moreover, he commanded the people living in Jerusalem to make a contribution for the priests and Levites so that they could devote themselves to the Law of the LORD. / As soon as the order went out, the Israelites generously provided the firstfruits of the grain, new wine, oil, and honey, and of all the produce of the field, and they brought in an abundance—a tithe of everything. / And the Israelites and Judahites who lived in the cities of Judah also brought a tithe of their herds and flocks and a tithe of the holy things consecrated to the LORD their God, and they laid them in large heaps. ...

The priests' portion in the peace offerings 35. The whole summed up Then the LORD said to Moses, This phrase indicates direct divine communication, a common occurrence in the Pentateuch, where God speaks to Moses as the mediator of His covenant with Israel. This underscores Moses' unique role as a prophet and leader, chosen to convey God's laws and instructions to the Israelites. The phrase emphasizes the authority and divine origin of the instructions that follow, reinforcing the idea that the laws are not human inventions but commands from God Himself. This direct communication is foundational for understanding the covenant relationship between God and Israel, as seen throughout the Torah. It also prefigures the ultimate mediator, Jesus Christ, who is described in the New Testament as the one who perfectly reveals God's will to humanity (Hebrews 1:1-2). Persons / Places / Events 1. The LORD (Yahweh)The covenant God of Israel, who is giving instructions to Moses regarding the offerings and sacrifices. 2. Moses The prophet and leader of the Israelites, who serves as the mediator between God and the people, receiving and conveying God's laws and instructions. 3. Israelites The chosen people of God, who are receiving the laws and instructions for worship and community living. 4. Tabernacle The portable sanctuary where the Israelites worshiped God during their journey in the wilderness, and where the sacrificial system was centered. 5. Sacrificial System The system of offerings and sacrifices instituted by God for the Israelites, which includes various types of offerings such as burnt offerings, peace offerings, and sin offerings. Teaching Points Divine InstructionGod communicates His will and instructions clearly to His people through chosen leaders. We should seek to understand and follow God's guidance in our lives. Role of Mediators Moses serves as a mediator between God and the Israelites, foreshadowing the ultimate mediator, Jesus Christ. We can approach God confidently through Christ, our mediator. Importance of Obedience The detailed instructions for offerings highlight the importance of obedience to God's commands. Our worship and service should be conducted according to God's standards, not our own preferences. Holiness in Worship The sacrificial system underscores the holiness required in approaching God. We are called to live holy lives, set apart for God's purposes. Community and Worship The instructions for offerings were given to the community of Israel, emphasizing the communal aspect of worship. Our faith is lived out in community, and we should encourage and support one another in our spiritual journeys.(28) And the Lord spake unto Moses.--With this formula, which, as we have seen, indicates a fresh communication made by the Lord to the lawgiver, additional precepts are introduced, regulating God's portion of the peace offering.Verses 28-34. - Continuation of the ritual of the peace offerings (see note on Leviticus 3:1). The equal dignity of the peace offerings with the other offerings is vindicated by the command that the offerer shall bring it with his own hands, whereas it might have been regarded as merely the constituent part of a feast, and so sent by the hand of a servant. The breast and the right shoulder were to be waved and heaved (for "heaved" does not merely mean" taken off," as some have said). The waving consisted of the priest placing his hands beneath those of the offerer who held the piece to be waved, and moving them slowly backwards and forwards before the Lord, to and from the altar; the heaving was performed by slowly lifting the pieces heaved upwards and downwards. The movements were made to show that the pieces, though not burnt on the altar, were yet in a special manner consecrated to God's service. The right shoulder was most probably the hind leg, perhaps the haunch. The Hebrew word is generally translated "leg" (Deuteronomy 28:35; Psalm 147:10). This part was the perquisite of the officiating priest; the waved breast was given to the priests' common stock. Afterwards an addition was made to the priests' portion (Deuteronomy 18:3; see 1 Corinthians 9:13). Parallel Commentaries ...
