The service of the oblation.

In the service of the oblation of the peace offering there are two actors, viz. the offerer and the priest. These had their respective duties, which are severally brought under our notice in the text. We have—

I. THE DUTY OF THE OFFERER.

1. He had to bring his oblation unto the Lord.

2. He had to bring the fat laid upon the breast.

II. THE DUTY OF THE PRIEST.

1. He had to offer up the oblation.

2. The breast and shoulder were then claimed by the priest.
