Selected verse

Verse 15. The heave shoulder and the wave breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to wave it for a wave offering before the LORD; and it shall be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by a statute for ever; as the LORD hath commanded.

This verse repeats the presentation and enduring allocation of breast and thigh.

  • Leviticus 10:12-20

Place Leviticus 10:15 inside 10:12-20. This verse repeats the presentation and enduring allocation of breast and thigh. Its surrounding procedure or case makes the larger point: Moses directs priestly eating, becomes angry when the goat is burned, hears Aaron's grief-shaped reasoning, and accepts the explanation.

Why It Needs Context

The verse repeats the presentation and enduring allocation of breast and thigh. Follow Leviticus 10:12-20 before drawing an enduring truth, since the surrounding case determines what this detail does and does not establish.
