Commentary on Numbers 18:11

Theological / Devotional

And this is thine. “This” refers to the less holy things.

The heave offering. The breast of the peace offerings was waved before the Lord, and the right shoulder (or thigh) was heaved before Him (see on Ex. 29:27 and Lev. 7:14). Both became the priests’ (Lev. 7:30-34). This was also true of the right shoulder of the ram offered for a Nazirite (Num. 6:19, 20).

And to thy daughters. These gifts were not exclusively for the use of the males (Lev. 10:14; 22:13). The eating was to be done, however, in a clean place (Lev. 10:14) within the camp (Deut. 12:6, 7, 17, 18), and no unclean person was allowed to be a partaker (Lev. 7:20, 21 ; 22:4).
