Study note
Setting — God addresses Moses regarding the distribution of portions from the peace offering, designating the priestly allotment from Israel's sacrifices.
The words — הַ/מַּקְרִ֞יב (ha./mak.Riv) means 'the one who presents,' and מִ/בְּנֵ֣י אַהֲרֹ֑ן (mi./be.Nei 'a.ha.Ron) translates to 'one of the sons of Aaron.' These terms identify the specific officiant who handles the ritual elements and receives the portion.
The thread — The allocation of the right thigh to the priesthood is established in Leviticus 7:32 and codified in Leviticus 7:34 as a permanent portion for Aaron and his descendants.
Why it lands — The text assigns a specific physical portion to the officiating priest, establishing a concrete provision for those who perform the ritual duties.
