Leviticus 7:34 KJV
For the wave breast and the heave shoulder have I taken of the children of Israel from off the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the priest and unto his sons by a statute for ever from among the children of Israel.
In the last couple of weeks I have made mention of the stones that the priest wore on his shoulder, bearing the names of the twelve tribes and of the breastplate of jewels also bearing those names. The priest was to, in symbolic form carry the burdens of the tribes on his shoulders before the Lord and then carry the love for those tribes on his breastplate near his heart.
Here I find the reciprocation. God here gives the priests, from the sacrifices of those people, the wave breast, and the heave shoulder of their peace offerings. The one who bore the spiritual burdens and heart of the people received from them material blessings equal to their responsibility.
God provides for His own. We can trust the Lord to know our needs and to meet them in a way that is more than just.
What a loving and just God have we!
