In ancient Israel, the fellowship offering, also known as the peace offering, was a significant part of the sacrificial system. It was an expression of thanksgiving and communion with God. The priests, descendants of Aaron, played a crucial role in these offerings. They were responsible for performing the rituals and ensuring that the sacrifices were acceptable to God. As part of their compensation, they received specific portions of the offerings. The right thigh was given to the priest who offered the blood and fat, signifying the priest's active participation and service. This allocation was not merely a practical provision but also a symbolic act, reinforcing the idea of shared blessings and responsibilities within the community. The fellowship offering thus served as a reminder of God's provision and the interconnectedness of the people, the priests, and God. It emphasized gratitude, community, and the sacred duty of the priests to serve as intermediaries between the divine and the human.
The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering shall have the right thigh as his share.
