¹⁹They also brought the fat portions from the ox and the ram—the fat tail, the fat covering the entrails, the kidneys, and the lobe of the liver—²⁰and placed these on the breasts. Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar,²¹but he waved the breasts and the right thigh as a wave offering before the LORD, as Moses had commanded.

This act symbolizes the atonement for sin and the restoration of the relationship between the Israelites and God. The meticulous observance of rituals and ceremonies underscores the importance of obedience and reverence in approaching the Lord. Through these sacrifices, the Israelites seek forgiveness and seek to honor God with their offerings. This verse highlights the significance of the sacrificial system in the Old Testament as a means of seeking reconciliation with God.

John Gill Bible Commentary

And the breasts and the right shoulder,.... The breasts of the bullock and the ram, and the right shoulders of them both: Aaron waved for a wave offering before the Lord; which was given to him as his part of the peace offerings, after they had been thus waved before the Lord; whereby an acknowledgment was made that he was Lord of all, and had a right to all they had; in token of which these parts were given to his priests towards their maintenance: as Moses commanded; see Exo 29:27.
