Leviticus 10:1

Leviticus 10:1 says, And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took either of them his censer, and put fire therein, and put incense thereon, and offered strange fire before the LORD, which he commanded them not.  Two of Aarons sons offered a strange burnt offering to the LORD, one that He had not commanded them to offer.  We today cannot just assume that we can offer things to God without first making sure that what we are doing is in accordance with His will.  Verse two adds, And there went out fire from the LORD, and devoured them, and they died before the LORD.  God destroyed them with fire.  God has offered us one way to salvation today, and that is through faith in Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, and if we attempt to find salvation by any other method, we will one day find ourselves in the fiery pits of hell.  Verse three continues, Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that the LORD spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.  Moses told Aaron that this was but a fulfillment of God's word.  God had said that He would sanctify those that came near Him, and when Nadab and Abihu did not come under the sanctification of God, they were destroyed.  We cannot come into the presence of God without being sanctified, and we can only be sanctified through the blood of Christ. Then we are told that Aaron held his peace.  If we see something removed from our Christian life that has been bringing dishonor to God, no matter how much we may have valued it, we can only hold our peace.  Verse four states, And Moses called Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel the uncle of Aaron, and said unto them, Come near, carry your brethren from before the sanctuary out of the camp.  Moses called on two of Aaron's cousins to carry the bodies of Nadab and Abihu from the camp.  Those things that corrupt the worship of God cannot be allowed to continue to stay in God's presence.  Of course, we could say that God is present everywhere, which is true, but some places are known as places where He is worshipped, and they certainly cannot be allowed to have things present which do not honor God.  Verse five adds, So they went near, and carried them in their coats out of the camp; as Moses had said.  Mishael and Elzaphan did as Moses had instructed them to do, just as we must do as God instructs us to do today.  Verse six continues, And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, Uncover not your heads, neither rend your clothes; lest ye die, and lest wrath come upon all the people: but let your brethren, the whole house of Israel, bewail the burning which the LORD hath kindled.  Aaron and his sons were forbidden to publicly mourn since they represented God, and it was God who had destroyed the two sons and brothers.  When we are representing God, which as Christians we should do at all times, we should not mourn when God deals with sin, even if it hits close to home.  The people were to mourn the loss of two of their priests, I believe because of the reason for their death. We need to take our relationship with God very seriously.  Verse seven says, And ye shall not go out from the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: for the anointing oil of the LORD is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.  Aaron and his sons, the priests, were forbidden from going out of the tabernacle since God' anointing oil was upon them.  Verse eight adds, And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,  Now, God spoke directly to Aaron without going through Moses.  God speaks directly to us as followers of Christ, though He may speak to us through others as well as we grow in discipleship.  Verse nine continues, Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:  Aaron and his sons were warned to not go into the tabernacle of the congregation if they had been drinking strong drinks.  This could be viewed as a prohibition for the priests to not drink, or as a prohibition for the priest on duty to not drink.  The best way to be sure would be for Aaron and his sons to just not drink strong drinks.  We certainly should never come into God's presence under the influence of any alcohol or drugs, and we most definitely should not attempt to carry out our calling as Christians while we are.  Verse ten states, And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;  God told Aaron that the prohibition of drinking strong drinks was so that they would be able to tell the difference between the holy and the unholy and between the clean and the unclean.  We today should remain clear minded so that we can tell the difference between what God calls us to do and what we might do and what we are not to do as His followers.  Verse eleven adds, And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.  Aaron and his sons had the responsibility to teach the people of Israel all of God's statutes.  We today have the responsibility to teach the world about God, and we can do so much more effectively when we are of a clear mind.

Leviticus 9:8

Leviticus 9:8 says, Aaron therefore went unto the altar, and slew the calf of the sin offering, which was for himself.  Aaron killed the calf at the altar to make the sin offering for himself.  Before we can offer spiritual help to others, we must first accept the sacrifice of Christ for our sins.  Verse nine adds, And the sons of Aaron brought the blood unto him: and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood at the bottom of the altar:  Aaron's sons, the other priests were also involved in the sacrifice.  Though we come to Christ alone for salvation, we are all as followers of Christ involved together in carrying out God's work.  Verse ten continues, But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver of the sin offering, he burnt upon the altar; as the LORD commanded Moses.  Then verse eleven concludes, And the flesh and the hide he burnt with fire without the camp.  Aaron and his sons were simply carrying out the instructions of God concerning the sacrifice, the same as we are to carry out God's instructions by the leadership and empowerment of the Holy Spirit in our lives today.  Verse twelve states, And he slew the burnt offering; and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled round about upon the altar.  Next, Aaron and his son's presented the burnt offering.  Verse thirteen adds, And they presented the burnt offering unto him, with the pieces thereof, and the head: and he burnt them upon the altar.  Verse fourteen continues, And he did wash the inwards and the legs, and burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar.  This was also done in accordance with God's instructions.  Verse fifteen says, And he brought the people’s offering, and took the goat, which was the sin offering for the people, and slew it, and offered it for sin, as the first. Next, Aaron offered a sin offering for the people of Israel.  Though we cannot offer a sacrifice for the sins of anyone else, once we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord, we must help others to know about Him so that they might accept His forgiveness for their sins as well.  Verse sixteen adds, And he brought the burnt offering, and offered it according to the manner.  Aaron then brought the burnt offering and offered it in the manner proscribed by God.  Verse seventeen continues, And he brought the meat offering, and took an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, beside the burnt sacrifice of the morning.  Next, Aaron offered the meat offering.  Verse eighteen states, He slew also the bullock and the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings, which was for the people: and Aaron’s sons presented unto him the blood, which he sprinkled upon the altar round about,  Then, Aaron killed a bullock for the peace offering for the people of God.  Accepting Christ as our Savior and Lord should bring us peace in life today.  Verse nineteen adds, And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the kidneys, and the caul above the liver:  Verse twenty continues, And they put the fat upon the breasts, and he burnt the fat upon the altar:  Once more, Aaron was carrying out the instructions for the sacrifice that had been given by God.  We today must carry out God's instructions once we become a follower of Christ.  Verse twenty-one concludes, And the breasts and the right shoulder Aaron waved for a wave offering before the LORD; as Moses commanded.  Aaron offered the breasts and right shoulder for a wave offering, as God had instructed Moses to have him do.  Verse twenty-two declares, And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, and blessed them, and came down from offer offering of the sin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings.  Aaron then blessed the people and came down from the altar.  After we accept Christ as our Savior, placing our lives on the altar for him, then we must come down from the altar and live our lives with Him as our Lord.  This can only be done by relying on the leadership of the Holy Spirit.  Verse twenty-three adds, And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of the congregation, and came out, and blessed the people: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto all the people.  Moses and Aaron both went into the tabernacle and then came back out, and the glory of the Lord appeared to the people.  There could be no doubt that God was behind the worship experience, just as there should be no doubt that God is behind our worship experiences today.  Verse twenty-four concludes, And there came a fire out from before the LORD, and consumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: which when all the people saw, they shouted, and fell on their faces.  God sent a fire to consume the offering on the altar, and the people shouted and fell on their faces before Him.  If not literally, then at least spiritually, we should fall on our faces before God when we worship Him.

Leviticus 9:1

Leviticus 9:1 says, And it came to pass on the eighth day, that Moses called Aaron and his sons, and the elders of Israel;  A week had passed culminating with the consecration of Aaron and his sons into the priesthood, and Moses called Aaron and his sons and the elders of Israel together.  Today, at times we must spend some time getting ready to do what God has called us to do.  Verse two adds, And he said unto Aaron, Take thee a young calf for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, without blemish, and offer them before the LORD.  Though we are told Moses instructed Aaron about what to do, we can be certain that this was what God had first instructed Moses to do.  Moses was still God's spokesman.  When God speaks to us through another person, I believe the Holy Spirit will allow us to know that it is God's word that is being spoken.  Aaron was to offer a young calf for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering, both without blemish.  Now that Aaron had been consecrated, it was time to go to work in his position as priest.  When God calls us for a purpose and we have prepared to fulfill that purpose, it is time to go to work.  Verse three continues, And unto the children of Israel thou shalt speak, saying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a sin offering; and a calf and a lamb, both of the first year, without blemish, for a burnt offering;   Moses then told Aaron what to say to the people of Israel.  This had been the method that God's word had been given to the people all along.  God would tell Moses who would then tell Aaron.  The people were also to bring a calf and a lamb for a burnt offering.  The people were to be involved in the service as well.  Aaron and his sons were now to be the ones that the people came to for religious celebrations.  Verse four states, Also a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to sacrifice before the LORD; and a meat offering mingled with oil: for to day the LORD will appear unto you.  The people were also to bring a bullock  and a ram for a peace offering, and a meat offering mingled with oil.  Then, Moses said that that day the LORD would appear to them.  When we accept Christ as our Savior and Lord, God appears to us spiritually.  We offer Him the only sacrifice that we can, which is our self.  Verse five adds, And they brought that which Moses commanded before the tabernacle of the congregation: and all the congregation drew near and stood before the LORD.  The people obeyed by doing what Moses had commanded them to do.  They still viewed Moses as the one who was giving the command, even though we are told that Aaron had actually been the one to speak to the people.  As stated, this had been the way that things had been done all along, with Aaron being Moses' spokesman.  We may come to Christ from the witness of someone else, but we need to realize that once we accept salvation, then God speaks to us directly to let us know what He wants us to do.  Verse six continues, And Moses said, This is the thing which the LORD commanded that ye should do: and the glory of the LORD shall appear unto you.  Moses told them that this was what God had told them to do.  Verse seven concludes, And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, and offer thy sin offering, and thy burnt offering, and make an atonement for thyself, and for the people: and offer the offering of the people, and make an atonement for them; as the LORD commanded.  Moses then told Aaron to go to the altar and make the sacrifice for the people and himself.  When we come to Christ by faith in Him as our Savior and Lord, then He is our sacrifice for all our sins for all time.  Unlike the people of Israel who had to go through Aaron and do so continually to find forgiveness, we come to Christ once and for all time. 

Leviticus 8:25

Leviticus 8:25 says, And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the right shoulder:  Verse twenty-six adds, And out of the basket of unleavened bread, that was before the LORD, he took one unleavened cake, and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put them on the fat, and upon the right shoulder:  Moses was combining some of the ingredients of the sacrifices into one.  Jesus Christ is our complete sacrifice today.  Verse twenty-seven continues, And he put all upon Aaron’s hands, and upon his sons’ hands, and waved them for a wave offering before the LORD.  Moses then put these combined sacrifices on the hands of Aaron and his sons aa a wave offering to the LORD.  Verse twenty- eight states, And Moses took them from off their hands, and burnt them on the altar upon the burnt offering: they were consecrations for a sweet savour: it is an offering made by fire unto the LORD.  Moses then took the things that had been put on the hands of Aaron and his sons back off their hands and offered it as a burnt offering to God.  I believe that this would have signified the transfer and removal or their sins.  Verse twenty-nine adds, And Moses took the breast, and waved it for a wave offering before the LORD: for of the ram of consecration it was Moses’s part; as the LORD commanded Moses.  Moses then offered the breast as a wave offering.  Verse thirty continues, And Moses took of the anointing oil, and of the blood which was upon the altar, and sprinkled it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon his sons’ garments with him; and sanctified Aaron, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.  Moses then sprinkled the oil and blood on Aaron and his sons, sanctifying them.   We today are sanctified by the blood of Jesus, though we do not need to have any real blood sprinkled on us.  Verse thirty-one declares, And Moses said unto Aaron and to his sons, Boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation: and there eat it with the bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I commanded, saying, Aaron and his sons shall eat it.  Moses then instructed Aaron and his sons to boil the flesh at the door of the tabernacle and eat it with the bread in the basket of consecrations.  Moses had been doing everything related to their consecration for them, but now they were to take a more active role.  People may do everything possible to lead us to a right relationship with God, but ultimately each person must accept the sacrifice of Christ for his or her sins individually.  We cannot be saved by proxy.  Vere thirty-two adds, And that which remaineth of the flesh and of the bread shall ye burn with fire.  Anything left over was to be burned.  It couldn't be saved for later, but was to all be consumed or burned at that time.  Salvation today is not something that we can save for later, but we must come when God calls us, and even though we can share the good news of salvation and are even told that we must, we cannot share our individual salvation with others.  Verse thirty-three continues, And ye shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation in seven days, until the days of your consecration be at an end: for seven days shall he consecrate you.  Aaron and his sons were to remain in the tabernacle for seven days until their consecration was complete.  Today, our consecration is complete once we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord.  No waiting is necessary before we can go and tell the world about Him.  Verse thirty-four states, As he hath done this day, so the LORD hath commanded to do, to make an atonement for you.  Moses said this was done under God's direction to make an atonement for Aaron and his sons, just as the death of Christ was done to make atonement for the sins of everyone.  Of course, we have to personally come to Him in faith for the sacrifice, already made, to have an effect in our life.  Verse thirty-five adds, Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation day and night seven days, and keep the charge of the LORD, that ye die not: for so I am commanded.  This was a warning against not following through on the command of God that they stay at the door of the tabernacle day and night for seven days and keep the charge, or command, of the LORD.  This was not the command of Moses, but the command of God that Moses had received.  We today are to follow through on our accepting Christ as our Savior and Lord and do the things that He then calls us to do.  Verse thirty-six concludes, So Aaron and his sons did all things which the LORD commanded by the hand of Moses.  Aaron and his sons did as Moses told them to do, just as we today must do the things that God calls us to do once we have accepted the free gift of salvation.  Salvation does not free us to do anything we desire to do but calls us to live daily under the leadership of the Holy Spirit.

Leviticus 8:13

Leviticus 8:13 says, And Moses brought Aaron’s sons, and put coats upon them, and girded them with girdles, and put bonnets upon them; as the LORD commanded Moses.  Moses simply began to carry out God's instructions concerning Aaron and his sons.  Of course, Aaron and his sons had to do as Moses instructed them, just as we today must do as God instructs us to do.  Verse fourteen adds, And he brought the bullock for the sin offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the bullock for the sin offering.  After Aaron and his sons were dressed in their priestly attire, Moses brought a bullock for a sin offering, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.  Normally, the people brought the sacrifice to Aaron and his sons and the person bringing it laid his hands on the head, but in this case, it was the sins of Aaron and his sons, the priests, that were being sacrificed for.  No matter what our position in the church may be, we all need to confess our sins so that the sacrifice of Christ on the cross may atone for them.  Verse fifteen continues, And he slew it; and Moses took the blood, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at the bottom of the altar, and sanctified it, to make reconciliation upon it.  This time, Moses was doing the job of the priests, since he was God's representative, and the priests could not make atonement for their own sins.  Verse sixteen states, And he took all the fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and Moses burned it upon the altar.  Moses offered the sacrifice on the altar of those things normally offered there.  We today have the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross to atone for our sins, and it is the only way that sin can be atoned for.  Verse seventeen adds, But the bullock, and his hide, his flesh, and his dung, he burnt with fire without the camp; as the LORD commanded Moses.  Moses burned what was left of the bullock outside the camp.  Aaron and his sons did not get what was left in this case, I believe because it would have been them profiting materially from the sacrifice for their sins.  When we come to Christ accepting Him as our Savior and Lord, we do not do so to profit materially.  Verse eighteen continues, And he brought the ram for the burnt offering: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram.  Moses next brought a ram for the burnt offering, and once again Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head as they had done with the bullock.  Verse nineteen says, And he killed it; and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.  Verse twenty adds, And he cut the ram into pieces; and Moses burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat.  Moses was once again the one carrying out the requirements for the sacrifice, just as Jesus Christ carried out the only sacrifice for sin that will ever be acceptable.  We cannot come to God through our own plan, just as Aaron and his sons couldn't make sacrifices for their own sins.  Of course we do not have a Moses, an earthly representative of God, who can sacrifice for us.  Through faith in Christ alone can a person find salvation.  Verse twenty-one continues, And he washed the inwards and the legs in water; and Moses burnt the whole ram upon the altar: it was a burnt sacrifice for a sweet savour, and an offering made by fire unto the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.  Once again, the whole sacrifice was burned, this time on the altar, and it was a sweet savor to the LORD.  Our sacrifice of all that we have to God through our faith in Christ will always be a sweet savor to God.  Verse twenty-two declares, And he brought the other ram, the ram of consecration: and Aaron and his sons laid their hands upon the head of the ram. Then verse twenty-three adds, And he slew it; and Moses took of the blood of it, and put it upon the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.  This was the sacrifice of consecration, and Moses first consecrated Aaron.  As followers of Christ, we must each individually consecrate our self to God.  Verse twenty-four concludes, And he brought Aaron’s sons, and Moses put of the blood upon the tip of their right ear, and upon the thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes of their right feet: and Moses sprinkled the blood upon the altar round about.   Moses did the same with Aaron's sons.  Aaron's consecration did not consecrate his sons, just as the consecration of someone else cannot consecrate us today.  We must all come to Christ individually to be sanctified before God.

Leviticus 8:1

Leviticus 8:1 says, And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  Then verse two adds, Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, and the anointing oil, and a bullock for the sin offering, and two rams, and a basket of unleavened bread;  God was now giving Moses instructions on the cleansing of the priests and the things associated with them.  As followers of Christ, we are a priesthood of believers, and I believe that we bound to spiritually cleanse ourselves and everything associated with our lives by placing everything under God's control by our faith in Christ.  Verse three continues, And gather thou all the congregation together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.  The whole congregation of Israel was to gathered together for this ceremony.  The tabernacle was ready, the laws had been given, and now it was time to set aside Aaron and his sons for the office of the priesthood.  When we come to Christ, everything is already in place to enable us to assume our calling as a part of the priesthood of God, and we must simply consecrate our self to fulfilling the role.  Verse four declares, And Moses did as the LORD commanded him; and the assembly was gathered together unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.  The first thing that had to happen was for Moses to do as God commanded, and he did.  The first thing we must do in every situation after we come to Christ as our Savior and Lord is to do what God tells us to do, as we must do in every situation after that, if we are to be successful in doing what God calls us to do.  Verse five adds, And Moses said unto the congregation, This is the thing which the LORD commanded to be done.  Moses first let the congregation know that this was God's instruction and not just his own plan.  We should always know that what we are doing is what God instructs us to do, and we should let others know that we are doing what God has instructed us to do.  If we all know that we are all doing what God calls us to do as His followers, then there should be little reason for dissension among us.  Verse six continues, And Moses brought Aaron and his sons, and washed them with water.  Moses began the purification ceremony for Aaron and his sons, again done before the whole congregation.  There was nothing secretive about this.  We today cannot attempt to do things secretively that would somehow put us in a position of authority over other Christians.  Verse seven says, And he put upon him the coat, and girded him with the girdle, and clothed him with the robe, and put the ephod upon him, and he girded him with the curious girdle of the ephod, and bound it unto him therewith.  Moses then put the priestly garments on Aaron.  Verse eight adds, And he put the breastplate upon him: also he put in the breastplate the Urim and the Thummim.  Moses then began to place the other items associated with the priesthood on Aaron.  Verse nine continues, And he put the mitre upon his head; also upon the mitre, even upon his forefront, did he put the golden plate, the holy crown; as the LORD commanded Moses.  Moses had now dressed Aaron in all the items associated with the priesthood.  Aaron did not just put these things on by himself, but they were put on him by Moses, God's representative to the people of Israel.  We today cannot just assume whatever position we may desire in the church, but we must be called and placed there by the Holy Spirit.  When we do come to Christ, we have all the armor of God that we should put on as we go out into the world to do God's bidding.  Verse ten states, And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them.  Moses then anointed the tabernacle and all that was in it with the anointing oil.  Though Aaron and his sons were being anointed to the priesthood, all of the people of Israel were to be a part of this setting them aside for the priesthood.  I believe that we as Christians are all involved together with the carrying out God's purpose here on earth, and we should all support one another in whatever position God calls us to fill.  Verse eleven adds, And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them. Verse twelve concludes, And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him.  Moses then anointed Aaron with oil, thereby setting him aside for the priesthood.  Today, we should anoint, or set aside for God's use, all that we are or have.

Leviticus 7:22

Leviticus 7:22 says, And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  Verse twenty-three adds, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of sheep, or of goat.  God now began to tell the people of Israel some dietary restrictions, Matthew Henry says since fat was used in the sacrifices to God.  Though we don't have dietary restrictions today, I believe that God still expects us to put every aspect of our lives under His control and to never misuse what He has blessed us with.  Verse twenty-four continues, And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which sacrifices and is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it.  They were allowed to use the fat in other ways, but they were not to eat of it.  Verse twenty-five states, For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people.  Though the people were allowed to eat of the flesh of an animal sacrificed, they were not allowed to eat of the fat.  If they did, they were to be cut off from the rest of God's people.  If we disobey the word of God today, we will be cut off spiritually from God's people.  We cannot disobey God's laws and still maintain a closeness with His people or Him.  Verse twenty-six adds, Moreover ye shall eat no manner of blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any of your dwellings.  The people of Israel were also prohibited from eating any blood in their dwelling.  Again, blood was used in sacrifices to God.  Verse twenty-seven continues, Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any manner of blood, even that soul shall be cut off from his people.  As with the eating of the fat, anyone who ate of the blood was to be cut off from the rest of the people of God.  Verse twenty-eight declares, And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,  Verse twenty-nine adds, Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace offerings unto the LORD shall bring his oblation unto the LORD of the sacrifice of his peace offerings.  This would appear to be a separate time when God spoke to Moses, but could just be a reemphasis that this was God's instructions to Moses.  Verse thirty continues, His own hands shall bring the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the fat with the breast, it shall he bring, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before the LORD.  The man bringing the offering was to kill it and also remove the breast as a wave offering, which could later be used by Aaron and his sons for food.  Verse thirty-one says, And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar: but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons'.  This was what I have just stated.  Verse thirty-two adds, And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the priest for an heave offering of the sacrifices of your peace offerings.  The right shoulder was to used as a heave offering, once again something that was not to be burned.  Verse thirty-three continues, He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right shoulder for his part. The one of Aaron's sons offering the sacrifice of the blood on the altar was to be allowed to keep the right shoulder.  Verse thirty-four states, For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.  God told Moses that He had taken the wave breast and heave shoulder of the peace offerings and had given it to Aaron and his sons by statute.  This was one way God provided for the priests.  Verse thirty-five adds, 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;  God was providing for Aaron and his sons, the priests, but it was still by His plan and authority.  God provides for our needs today as followers of Christ, but it is still under His plan and by His authority.  Verse thirty-six continues, Which the LORD commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them, by a statute for ever throughout their generations.  God told Moses that this wasn't an optional thing but was a statute throughout all the generations.  Verse thirty-seven says, This is the law of the burnt offering, of the meat offering, and of the sin offering, and of the trespass offering, and of the consecrations, and of the sacrifice of the peace offerings;  God then told Moses that these laws applied to the burnt, meat, sin and trespass offerings.  Verse thirty-eight adds. Which the LORD commanded Moses in mount Sinai, in the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations unto the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai. We are then told that these were laws commanded to Moses on Mount Sinai.  This was God's law
