(שׁוֹק תְּרוּמָה, Sept. βραχίων ἀφαιρέματος .) is the name applied to the (right) shoulder that fell to the priests in the presentation of animals as a thank-offering (Leviticus 7:34; Numbers vi. 20; 18:18), which could be eaten only by such of their families as were in a ceremonially clean state (Leviticus 10:14). (See OFFERING).
