The son of Aaron
This phrase refers to the descendants of Aaron, the brother of Moses, who were appointed as priests in Israel. The Aaronic priesthood was established by God to serve in the tabernacle and later in the temple. The priests were responsible for performing sacrifices and maintaining the rituals prescribed in the Law. This lineage highlights the hereditary nature of the priesthood, emphasizing the continuity and sanctity of the priestly office.

who presents the blood and fat
In the sacrificial system, the presentation of blood and fat was a critical component. The blood, representing life, was sprinkled on the altar as an atonement for sin, while the fat, considered the best part of the animal, was burned as an offering to God. This act symbolized the offering of the best to God and the purification of the people. The priest's role in this process underscores their mediatory function between God and the Israelites.

of the peace offering
The peace offering, also known as the fellowship offering, was a voluntary sacrifice expressing thanksgiving, fulfillment of a vow, or freewill devotion. It symbolized reconciliation and communion with God, as well as fellowship among the worshipers. Unlike other offerings, a portion of the peace offering was consumed by the offerer, signifying shared fellowship with God.

shall have the right thigh as a portion
The right thigh, or right shoulder, was given to the officiating priest as a portion of the peace offering. This allocation was a provision for the priests, who had no inheritance of land like the other tribes of Israel. The right thigh was considered a choice part of the animal, reflecting the honor and provision given to those serving in the priesthood. This practice also reinforced the principle of sharing the blessings of the offerings with those who ministered before the Lord.
