'And the priest hath made perfume with the fat on the altar, and the breast hath been Aaron's and his sons;

And the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.

And the priest shall make the fat smoke upon the altar; but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons'.

Et erit pectusculum illud Aharoni et filiis ejus.

And the priest shall burn the fat upon the altar,.... Of burnt offering, even the fat upon the inwards, the two kidneys, the flanks, the caul, and liver:
but the breast shall be Aaron's and his sons; which being waved before the Lord for a wave offering, was the Lord's, and so was given to his priests to eat of, for the service done by them, it being but reasonable that they that serve at the altar should live of it; and thus, with other things, a maintenance was provided for the priests and their families, as ought also to be for Gospel ministers under the present dispensation.

His sons - The portion of every succeeding high - priest and his family.
