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.
Ver. 34. For the wave-breast, and the heaveshoulder.] This might further signify, saith one, that Christ Jesus heaved up for us both breast and shoulder - that is, wisdom and strength to all his elect priesthood, whose portion he is. 1Co 1:30 Or it might note, saith another, that ministers should both take care (figured by the breast) and pains (signified by the shoulder). And therefore the high priest did to that end wear the names of the tribes upon his shoulders and upon his breast.
