As for all the sacred offerings of the Israelites, I have given them to you and your sons as a portion and a permanent statute. A portion of the most holy offerings reserved from the fire will be yours. From all the offerings they render to Me as most holy offerings, whether grain offerings or sin offerings or guilt offerings, that part belongs to you and your sons.

Leviticus 7:35 Summary
Leviticus 7:35 is talking about the special food that the priests, Aaron and his sons, got to eat from the sacrifices people made to God. This food was like a paycheck for them, because they didn't get to own any land or have other jobs. It's like how we trust that God will take care of us when we serve Him (Matthew 6:33, Philippians 4:19). This verse reminds us that God provides for those who serve Him, and it encourages us to trust in His goodness and care.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 7:35
Of the anointing, i.e. of the priesthood; the sign put for the thing signified; and the anointing by a like figure is put for the right, or part of the sacrifices belonging to the priest by virtue of his anointing, as plainly appears from the words here following, out of the offering, & c. In the day when he presented them: this was their portion appointed them by God in that day, and therefore to be given to them in after-ages. Or, from the day, &c., and thenceforward; the Hebrew preposition beth being put for rain, as it is frequently.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 7:35
Leviticus 7:35 This [is the portion] of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, out of the offerings of the LORD made by fire, in the day [when] he presented them to minister unto the LORD in the priest’ s office;Ver. 35. This is the portion of the anointing.] That is, Of the anointed priests; and that because they were anointed to the office. Here Origen, according to his manner, turns all into allegories and mysteries, and tells us of a threefold sense of Scripture, (1.) Literal; (2.) Moral; (3.) Mystical: comparing them to the gridiron, frying pan, and oven, used in dressing the meat offering. Leviticus 7:9 But this itch of allegorising dark and difficult texts hath no small danger in it. And I may doubt of Origen, as one doth of Jerome, Utrum plus boni peritia linguarum, qua excelluit, an mali suis allegoriis, in quibus dominatus fuit, ecclesiae Dei attulerit; whether he did more harm or good to the Church. Allegorias spumam scripturae vocat Luth., in Gen. iii., p. 67. Amama, Antibarb.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 7:35
(35) This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron and of the anointing of his sons.—Better, this is the share of Aaron and the share of his sons. That is, the wave breast and the heave shoulder.

SUMMARY OF LAWS, Leviticus 7:35-38.35. This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron — This is the provision made for those who are anointed priests — the perquisite by virtue of the holy office.
