This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Also thou: Exo 29:13; Lev 8:25-27

the rump: Alyah is the large tail of a species of eastern sheep. "This tail," says Dr. Russell, "is very broad and large, terminating in a small appendix that turns back upon it. It is of a substance between fat and marrow, and is not eaten separately, but mixed with lean meat in many of their dishes, and also often used instead of butter. A common sheep of this sort, without the head, feet, skin, and entrails, weighs about twelve or fourteen Aleppo rotoloes, (a rotoloe is five pounds), of which the tail is usually three rotoloes or upwards; but such as are of the largest breed, and have been fattened, will sometimes weigh about thirty rotoloes, and the tails of these ten." Lev 3:9, Lev 7:3, Lev 9:19

right shoulder: Lev 7:32-33, Lev 9:21, Lev 10:14; Num 18:18
