The Hebrew chazeh specifically refers to the breast of a sacrificial animal β the portion of the peace offering that was waved before the LORD and then given to the priests. Leviticus 7:30-31 specifies: 'The breast (chazeh) that is waved and the thigh that is presented, you shall eat in a clean place, you and your sons and daughters with you.' The wave offering was a ritual of dedication before God.
The chazeh β the wave-breast β was the priest's portion of the peace offering. In the sacrificial system, the worshiper brought the offering, the fat was burned for the LORD, the right thigh went to the officiating priest, and the breast was waved before God and shared with all Aaron's sons. This distribution embedded hospitality and community into the act of worship. The sacrificial meal was not merely private devotion but a covenantal feast involving God, the priest, and the worshiper's whole household.
