The wave breast and the heave shoulder were to be the priests', as well as the meat offering (Leviticus 7:10) and other portions. Thus is taught the lesson, enforced by St. Paul (1 Corinthians 9:13, 1 Corinthians 9:14), "Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live of the things of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar? Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel." The adequate maintenance of the Levitical priesthood was carefully provided for under the old dispensation by means of offerings and of tithes; and "the labourer is worthy of his hire" (Luke 10:7), and "let him that is taught in the Word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things" (Galatians 6:6), are principles of the new dispensation likewise.
