Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 18:3

A sacrifice, to wit, a sacrifice of thanksgiving, or a peace-offering, as appears from Leviticus 7:31,Leviticus 7:33, which is ofttimes called simply a sacrifice, as Exodus 18:12; Leviticus 17:5,Leviticus 17:8; Numbers 15:3; Deuteronomy 12:27. The shoulder, and the two cheeks, and the maw. Quest. How doth this agree with other texts, in which the shoulder and the breast, and those parts only, are the priest’s due, not the cheeks and maw?

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Deuteronomy 18:1-22

CRITICAL NOTES.—After speaking of the rulers of the people, Moses now mentions the teachers priests, Levites, and prophets; and what their privileges and position must be in their settlement in Canaan.Deuteronomy 18:3-5.

Deuteronomy 18:1 . They shall eat the offerings of the Lord made by fire. The sin- offerings, except the skin and the fat, which were burnt on the altar. The ecclesiastics having relinquished the two great sources of wealth, lands and trade, it was but common justice that the laymen should give the guardians of the altar a suitable supply of food and raiment for them and their families.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Deuteronomy 18:1-8

THE RIGHTS OF THE PRIESTS AND LEVITES, Deuteronomy 18:1-8. As the tribe of Levi was to have no tribal district allotted, the question would naturally arise, How are they to be supported?
