"This shall be the priests’ due from the people, from those who offer a sacrifice, whether it be ox or sheep, that they shall give to the priest: the shoulder, the two cheeks, and the inner parts."
Key Reflection

These offerings symbolized the people's recognition that the priests acted on behalf of God, ensuring their service was both sustained and respected.
