Leviticus 10:15
“The heaved thigh and the waved breast they shall bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before Yahweh: and it shall be yours, and your sons’ with you, as a portion forever; as Yahweh has commanded.””
What does Leviticus 10:15 mean?
After the priests performed specific rituals with animal sacrifices, they received certain portions of the meat as their own food and compensation for their sacred work. This verse describes how the thigh and breast from offerings belonged to the priests and their families as a permanent right, not just a temporary arrangement. God built this provision directly into the system so that those who served in the tabernacle would have their physical needs met. It's a reminder that those dedicated to spiritual service deserve practical support, and that God cares about both the sacred duties people perform and their everyday survival.
