Rashi
------------------------------------------------------
As can be clearly seen from the alternating
FAT ON BREAST vs BREAST ON FAT, three different
people are involved and each one holds differently
- the OWNER brings the FAT of the animal ON the BREAST
(So the FAT is above and the BREAST is below)
- the 1st PRIEST performs the WAIVING ceremony
with the Breast ON TOP on the FAT on bottom
The Waiving priest delivers to the Offering priest
- The offering priest has the FAT on top ON the
breast on bottom*10 *11
-----------------------------------------------------

*10 The Talmud (Menacoth 62a) explains that the reason
for requiring an owner and two priests is because
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
the honor of the king is in multitude performance
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It is therefore conceivable that the above list
is simply a rabbinic interpretation of the alignment
(not biblical) imposed to beautify the offering
procedure.

If this is so we actually have another Rashi rule--
the rule of LIST ORDERINGS which states as follows
- if throughout the Bible ONE SEQUENCE is used then
the first is the most important, the 2nd is 2nd
important etc

- if however the Bible uses different sequence
orders then they are all equally important.

I would come to the conclusion that the BREAST
and FAT have alternating orders, NOT to indicate
multiple owners but rather to indicate that they
are equally important in the offering procedure.

However the Talmudic Rabbis added this interpretation
of multiple people to implement the verse that
multitudes indicate the honor of the King.

*11 The Talmud and Rashi similarly give operational
details on the interchange between the owner and priest
----------------------------------------------------
First the owner comes with the fat on his hands and
the breast on the fat. The priest places his hands
underneath the owners hands and waives (so that
relative to the priests hands the breasts are first
and then the fat
----------------------------------------------------

As indicated this is simply an operational interpretation
of how these heavy objects were brought and waived.
The main focus in the talmud and Rashi is on the
ALIGNMENT of the phrases BREAST ON FAT vs
FAT ON BREAST.

*1  Here are the full set of verses
---------------------------------------------
Lv07-34 I have given BREAST and FAT to Priest
Lv03-03 Fat is offered on altar Fire
---------------------------------------------

Hence we read Lv07-30 as follows
--------------------------------------------------
Owner brings
the [for-the-altar] fire:
[namely] FAT on breast is brought
to WAIVE IT[that is the BREAST not the FAT]
before God.
--------------------------------------------------



*2 The Minchah Eating rights are as follows
- Sin offerings are never eaten by priests
- Ordinary Minchahs are eaten by Priests
- Minchahs with a Priest owner are not eaten

In short all MINCHAH EATING laws apply.

There is an ironic subtlety here.
The verse says
------------------------------
It will to the PRIEST as a MINCHAH
-------------------------------

Rashi literally says
---------------------------------------------------
If a PRIEST offered it no one would eat it
---------------------------------------------------

It thus APPEARS that Rashi is PUNNING on the
word PRIEST---
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It will be to a PRIEST OWNER like a MINCHAH
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

But this is not necessary. The verse simply
means
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It will be to the PRIEST [offerer] as a MINCHAH
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This implies
----------------------------------
- If it is an ordinary Minchah the
PRIEST OFFERER can eat it
- If it is a PRIEST OWNED Minchah
then no one eats it
----------------------------------

Thus Rashi was not PUNNING but rather
emphasizing one extreme case of the
simple meaning of the text.

Ex25-01:03 states
-----------------------------------
Command the Jews to take DONATIONS
whoever wishes to DONATE.
And these are the DONATIONS you should take
...gold SILVER and COPPER
-----------------------------------

But Ex30-11:13 states
-------------------------------------
When you make a CENSUS people
should give HALF A SHEKEL of silver
-------------------------------------

This is further spelled out at Ex38-25:28
--------------------------------------------
The silver from the half shekels was so much
and so much and used to make the silver stands
for the boards and the curtain hooks
--------------------------------------------

We see the CONTRADICTION: Was the silver a VOLUNTARY
donation or a REQUIRED TAX?

Rashi answers by distinguishing TWO CASES of the silver
-----------------------------------------------------
- There was a REQUIRED TAX of HALF SHEKEL used for the
stands and curtain hooks
- There was an ADDITIONAL VOLUNTARY TAX---the silver
gathered was used to make silver utensils in the
sanctuary
-----------------------------------------------------



*4 PUBLICLY: He disagreed so as not to further inflame
the brothers who hated Joseph

PRIVATELY: He agreed because he believed in the dream
