Context — The Priests’ Portion
34I have taken from the sons of Israel the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion from the sons of Israel.’”
35This is the portion of the food offerings to the LORD for Aaron and his sons since the day they were presented to serve the LORD as priests.
36On the day they were anointed, the LORD commanded that this be given them by the sons of Israel. It is a permanent portion for the generations to come.
37This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering, 38which the LORD gave Moses on Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the Wilderness of Sinai.Cross References

Leviticus 7:36 Summary
Leviticus 7:36 tells us that on the day the priests were anointed, the Lord commanded the Israelites to give them a special portion as a permanent provision. This means that God was providing for the priests' needs and setting them apart for His service. Just like the priests, we can trust in God's provision and care for us, as seen in Matthew 6:33, where Jesus teaches us to seek first the kingdom of God. By trusting in God's provision, we can live out our calling to serve Him and others, just as the priests did in the Old Testament.
