The "breasts" were part of the peace offering, which was a communal meal shared between the priests and the offerer, symbolizing fellowship with God. The act of placing these parts on the breasts signifies the separation of portions meant for the priests, as outlined in <a href="/leviticus/7-31.htm">Leviticus 7:31-34</a>. This practice highlights the provision for the priesthood and the importance of sharing in the sacrificial meal, which prefigures the communal aspect of the Lord's Supper in the New Testament (<a href="/1_corinthians/10-16.htm">1 Corinthians 10:16-17</a>).<p><b>Aaron burned the fat portions on the altar,</b><br>The burning of the fat portions on the altar was a critical part of the sacrificial process. In ancient Israelite culture, the fat was considered the best part of the animal and was reserved for God, symbolizing the offering of the best to the Lord. This act of burning the fat was a pleasing aroma to God, as mentioned in <a href="/leviticus/3-16.htm">Leviticus 3:16</a>. The altar, located in the Tabernacle, was the central place of worship and sacrifice, representing God's presence among His people. The burning of the fat portions can be seen as a type of Christ's ultimate sacrifice, where He offered Himself wholly to God, fulfilling the sacrificial system and providing a way for humanity to be reconciled to God (<a href="/hebrews/10-10.htm">Hebrews 10:10-14</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader of the Israelites, who is overseeing the consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron.htm">Aaron</a></b><br>The brother of Moses, who is being consecrated as the high priest.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/a/aaron's_sons.htm">Aaron's Sons</a></b><br>They are being consecrated alongside Aaron to serve as priests.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/i/israelites.htm">Israelites</a></b><br>The people of God, witnessing the consecration ceremony and the offerings being made.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/tabernacle.htm">Tabernacle</a></b><br>The sacred place where the offerings are made, representing God's dwelling among His people.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_importance_of_obedience.htm">The Importance of Obedience</a></b><br>The detailed instructions followed by Moses and Aaron emphasize the importance of obedience to God's commands.
