10 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.

Remainder

  

In Leviticus 6:16, 'Aaron and his sons eating the remainder' signifies a person's reciprocation and making something one's own. This represents conjunction by means of love and charity. This is why they were commanded to eat it 'in a holy place.'
