THE PRIESTS AND THE OFFERINGS
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘You shall not eat any fat from an ox, a sheep, or a goat.
The fat of an animal which dies [of natural causes] and the fat of one which is torn [to pieces by a predator] may be put to any other use, but under no circumstances are you to eat it.
For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which an offering by fire is presented to the LORD, that person who eats shall be cut off from his people [excluding him from the atonement made for them].
Moreover, you are not to eat any blood [of any kind], whether of bird or animal, in any of your dwelling places.
Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.'”
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the LORD shall bring his offering to the LORD from the sacrifice of his peace offerings.
With his own hands he is to bring offerings by fire to the LORD; he shall bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be presented as a wave offering before the LORD.
The priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.
You shall give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
The son of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat shall have the right thigh as his portion.
For I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering from the Israelites, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their perpetual portion from the Israelites.
‘This is the consecrated portion from the offerings by fire to the LORD that was designated for Aaron and his sons on the day he presented them to serve as priests to the LORD.
The LORD commanded this to be given to the priests by the Israelites on the day that He anointed them. It is their portion perpetually throughout their generations.'”
This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the consecration (ordination) offering, and the sacrifice of peace offerings,
which the LORD commanded Moses at Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD, in the Wilderness of Sinai.

THINGS FORBIDDEN; THE PORTION OF THE PRIESTS
The eating of the fat and the blood was prohibited; the first probably during the pilgrimage, the latter in perpetuity. See Lev_3:17. When we are told that the disobedient soul must be cut off, it refers probably to the excommunication which the priest pronounced until the offender had repented and was reinstated in the privileges of God’s house. The waving of parts of the victim consisted in the priest placing his hands beneath those of the offerer, who held the piece to be waved, and moving them slowly backward and forward before the Lord, to and from the altar. The heaving was performed by slowly lifting the pieces upward and downward. These movements signified that the pieces, though not burned at the altar, were specially consecrated to God’s service. The shoulder is the emblem of government and strength; the breast of the affections. We specially need to meditate on these aspects of our Lord’s character. It may be that the action referred to in Act_13:3 meant that the Church waved the two first missionaries as a votive-offering to God.
