What Does Exodus 29:22 Mean?
From the ram of consecration, the fat, rump, and the fat covering the inward parts, the caul above the liver, the two kidneys with their fat, and the right shoulder are separated. These choice portions represent the richest parts.
The right shoulder holds special significance as the priestly portion, distinguishing this offering from the purely burnt offering—here, portions will be shared among the priests themselves.
