Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Leviticus 10:14

And the wave breast and heave shoulder. — That is, of the peace offering which was offered by the nation. (See Leviticus 9:18.) As they were given to the priests for the maintenance of their families (see Leviticus 7:34), these portions might be eaten anywhere within the camp, provided the place was not defiled by ceremonial uncleanness.
