Book ◦ Chapter

This will belong to Aaron and his sons
This phrase establishes the priestly entitlement to certain offerings. Aaron and his sons, representing the Levitical priesthood, are set apart for service to God. This provision underscores the principle that those who serve at the altar should share in the offerings (1 Corinthians 9:13). The priesthood of Aaron is a type of Christ's eternal priesthood, as seen inHebrews 7, where Jesus is described as a high priest in the order of Melchizedek.

as a regular portion from the Israelites
The term "regular portion" indicates a perpetual statute, emphasizing the ongoing support for the priesthood. This reflects the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where the people are responsible for sustaining the spiritual leaders. This concept is echoed in the New Testament, where believers are encouraged to support those who teach the Word (Galatians 6:6).

for it is the heave offering
The heave offering, a specific type of offering, involved lifting a portion of the sacrifice as a symbolic gesture of presenting it to God. This act of elevation signifies the offering's dedication to the Lord. The heave offering is part of the broader sacrificial system that points to Christ's ultimate sacrifice, fulfilling the law and the prophets (Matthew 5:17).

the Israelites will make to the LORD
This phrase highlights the communal aspect of worship, where the entire nation participates in offerings to God. It reflects the covenantal identity of Israel as a people set apart for God's purposes. The collective responsibility of the Israelites to make offerings underscores the unity and shared faith of the community, a theme that resonates with the New Testament church as the body of Christ (1 Corinthians 12:12-27).

from their peace offerings
Peace offerings, also known as fellowship offerings, were voluntary sacrifices expressing gratitude and communion with God. They symbolize reconciliation and fellowship, themes central to the New Testament message of peace with God through Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1). The peace offering's role in the sacrificial system foreshadows the ultimate peace brought by Christ's atoning work on the cross.

What Does Exodus 29:28 Mean

This will belong to Aaron and his sons

- God sets apart a tangible, continual gift for the priesthood.

- Earlier verses establish that parts of the ram of ordination are “consecrated” (Exodus 29:26-27), underscoring that the priestly portion is not a human courtesy but a divine decree.

-Numbers 18:8-11 confirms this ongoing pattern: “I have given you charge of My offerings… they are yours, a perpetual allotment.”

- By declaring ownership, God supplies for those who serve at His altar (1 Corinthians 9:13-14).

as a regular portion from the Israelites

- “Regular” signals a standing obligation, not a one-time gift.

-Leviticus 7:34 calls the breast and thigh “a permanent statute for the Israelites,” echoing the language here.

- This rhythm of giving nurtures covenant mindfulness: every generation actively remembers that ministry costs are met by God through His people.

- Practical take-away: worship and support go hand-in-hand (Philippians 4:16-18).

for it is the heave offering

- A heave offering is lifted upward, illustrating open acknowledgment that the rightful Owner is above.

-Numbers 18:24 says the Levites “receive the tithes… as their inheritance in return for the work.” The lift signifies transfer: from Israel’s hands to God’s possession, then to the priests.

- The gesture embodies gratitude; God’s portion is honored before personal use.

-Hebrews 13:15-16 draws the parallel: we still “offer up” sacrifices of praise and generosity.

the Israelites will make to the LORD

- Offerings are first “to the LORD,” not merely to religious leaders.

-Malachi 1:6-8 rebukes half-hearted gifts, reminding us that God discerns motivations behind every offering.

- By directing the gift to Himself, God protects the priesthood from appearing self-serving.

-2 Chronicles 31:4-10 shows the blessing that follows when the people give “to the LORD,” resulting in abundance for both priests and givers.

from their peace offerings

- Peace (or fellowship) offerings celebrate harmony with God (Leviticus 3:1-17).

- A portion feeds the worshiper, another portion is burned, and the priest receives his share—symbolizing shared table fellowship between God, priest, and people.

-Ephesians 2:13-18 points to the ultimate peace offering: Christ, who “is our peace” and who unites God and humanity.

- Every time Israel brought a peace offering, they rehearsed future reconciliation accomplished at the cross.

summary

Exodus 29:28 anchors a perpetual provision: God claims a lifted-up share of every peace offering, then assigns it to Aaron and his sons. This statute underscores three truths—God faithfully sustains His servants, worship involves regular and visible giving, and every offering ultimately belongs to the LORD who grants peace.
