John Gill Commentary Leviticus 10:14

"And the wave-breast and the heave-thigh shall ye eat in a clean place, thou, and thy sons, and thy daughters with thee: for they are given as thy portion, and thy sons` portion, out of the sacrifices of the peace-offerings of the children of Israel." — Leviticus 10:14 (ASV)

And the wave breast and heave shoulder shall you eat in a
clean place
The breast of the peace offerings that was waved, and the shoulder of them that was heaved before the Lord; these were given by him to the priests, towards the maintenance of their families, (Leviticus 7:34) and they might be eaten anywhere, provided the place was clean from all ceremonial pollution, and in which there were no polluted persons, as leprous ones; they were to be eaten within the camp, as Jarchi observes, where lepers did not come: for, as he adds, the light holy things, such as these were, might be eaten in every city; and so it is said in the Misnah ^F20 , and by the commentators on it:

thou and your sons, and your daughters with you ;
these were not restricted to him and his sons only, as the meat offerings, and the flesh of the sin offerings were, but were common to the whole family:

for [they be] your due, and your sons' due ;
for their service of the sanctuary, and by the appointment and direction of the Lord:

[which] are given out of the sacrifices of peace offerings of the
children of Israel :
of which see (Leviticus 7:1–38) these are said to be "given out" of them, for the whole was not given, only the breast and shoulder; and after the fat was burnt, the rest belonged to the owners, with which they kept a feast of joy and thankfulness.
