This is the portion
The phrase "This is the portion" signifies a specific allocation or share designated for a particular purpose. In the Hebrew context, the word "portion" (חֵלֶק, chelek) often denotes an inheritance or a rightful share. This reflects the divine provision and the sacred duty bestowed upon the priestly line. It underscores the idea that God provides for those who serve Him, ensuring that their needs are met through the offerings of the people.

of the offerings for the LORD made by fire
The "offerings for the LORD made by fire" refers to the sacrificial system established by God for the Israelites. The Hebrew word for offerings, קָרְבָּן (korban), implies something brought near or presented. These offerings were a means of worship and atonement, symbolizing the people's devotion and obedience to God. The fire represents purification and the divine presence, as sacrifices were consumed on the altar, transforming the physical into a spiritual act of worship.

that was allotted to Aaron and his sons
The phrase "that was allotted to Aaron and his sons" highlights the divine appointment and provision for the priestly family. Aaron, the first high priest, and his descendants were chosen by God to serve in the tabernacle, a role that required dedication and holiness. The Hebrew root for "allotted" (נָתַן, natan) means to give or bestow, indicating that this portion was a gift from God, ensuring the priests could focus on their sacred duties without concern for their sustenance.

on the day they were presented
"On the day they were presented" refers to the consecration of Aaron and his sons into the priesthood. This was a significant event, marked by rituals and sacrifices, symbolizing their sanctification and readiness to serve. The Hebrew word for "presented" (מִלּוּא, millu) can also mean to fill or fulfill, suggesting that their presentation was the fulfillment of God's command and the beginning of their lifelong service.

to serve the LORD as priests
The phrase "to serve the LORD as priests" encapsulates the primary role and responsibility of Aaron and his sons. The Hebrew word for "serve" (שָׁרַת, sharath) implies ministering or attending to duties with devotion. As priests, they acted as mediators between God and the people, performing sacrifices, teaching the law, and maintaining the sanctity of the tabernacle. This service was not just a duty but a calling, reflecting a life dedicated to worship and obedience to God.

(35) This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron and of the anointing of his sons.--Better, this is the share of Aaron and the share of his sons. That is, the wave breast and the heave shoulder.

Verses 35, 36. - Conclusion of the section. This is the portion of the anointing of Aaron, and of the anointing of his sons, may be translated simply, This is the portion of Aaron, and the portion of his sons, as the word "mischah" will bear the meaning of portion as well as of anointing. This rendering, however, is not necessary, as it was the anointing of Aaron and his sons that entitled them to these portions.
