This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The heave-offering, i.e. the right shoulder, which was the priest’s.
Of their gift, to wit, of their peace-offerings, as may appear, because here is an enumeration of all that belonged to the priest in the several oblations, and therefore it is not likely that he would omit the peace-offerings, wherein the priest had a share, and the very share here spoken of and called a heave-offering, which was the right shoulder, Lev_7:32, which also might be eaten by the daughters, Lev_7:34 10:14, as is here said. See Num_6:17, &c. The wave-offerings, to wit, the breasts of the peace-offerings, which were waved Lev_7:30,31,34.
With thee, i.e. who are with thee in thy house; for if they were married to strangers, they might not eat of them, Lev_22:12,13.
In thy house, to wit, as fixed members of thy house, though they be bond-slaves; for strangers and hired servants were excepted, Lev_22:10,11.
