Leviticus 7:34 Summary
In Leviticus 7:34, God is saying that He has taken a special portion of the sacrifices, the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the peace offerings, and given them to Aaron and his sons as a permanent gift. This shows that God cares for and provides for those who serve Him, just like He provides for us, as seen in Matthew 6:25-34. It's a reminder that God is our Provider and Caregiver, and that He wants to take care of all our needs, including our physical and spiritual needs, as seen in Philippians 4:19. By giving this special portion to Aaron and his sons, God is showing us the importance of supporting and caring for those who serve Him and minister to us.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Leviticus 7:34
The breast or heart is the seat of wisdom, and the shoulder of strength for action, and these two may denote that wisdom and virtue or power which was in Christ our High Priest, , and which ought to be in every priest.
Trapp's Commentary on Leviticus 7:34
Leviticus 7:34 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. 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.
Ellicott's Commentary on Leviticus 7:34
(34) By a statute for ever.—That is, the statute that these two parts of the peace offering are to be given to Aaron and his descendants who may officiate at this sacrifice, is binding upon the Israelites as long as the priesthood lasts.
