The heave-shoulder was the ordinary perquisite of the officiating priest, but the wave-breast appears to have been awarded to Moses as the servant of Yahweh now especially appointed for the priestly service.
And Moses took the breast,.... Of the ram of consecration:
and waved it for a wave offering before the Lord; this Moses seems to have waved with his own hands, and not upon the hands of Aaron and his sons, putting his under them, as in the wave offering of the fat, shoulder, and cakes, and for which the following words seem to give a reason:
for of the ram of consecration it was Moses's part; the breast of it was his:
as the Lord commanded Moses; see Exodus 29:26.
Moses's part - Who at this time administering the priest's office was to receive the priest's wages.
