Leviticus 7:28-38

New Catholic Bible

²⁸ Portions for the Priests. And the Lord spoke to Moses saying, ²⁹ “Speak to the children of Israel and tell them, ‘Whoever offers the sacrifice of a peace offering to the Lord shall bring the offering of the sacrifice of the peace offering. ^30 [a]He shall bring the offering to be made by fire to the Lord in his own hands. He shall bring the fat together with the breast, the breast that shall be waved before the Lord as a wave offering. ³¹ The priest shall burn the fat upon the altar, but the breast will be for Aaron and his sons. ³² He will also give the right shoulder of the sacrifice of his peace offering as a wave offering to the priest. ³³ The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the peace offering will receive the right shoulder as his portion. ³⁴ I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the right shoulder that is offered from the sacrifices of the peace offerings of the children of Israel, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons. This is an eternal statute for the children of Israel.

³⁵ “ ‘This is the portion consecrated to Aaron and the portion consecrated to his sons from the offerings made by fire to the Lord. They will receive them on the day that they present them ministering unto the Lord. ³⁶ On the day that he anointed them, the Lord commanded that the children of Israel give this to them. It is a statute from one generation to the next.’ ” ³⁷ These are the statutes concerning the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, the sin offerings, the guilt offerings and the consecration of the sacrifice of the peace offerings. ³⁸ The Lord gave these commands to Moses on Mount Sinai on the day that he commanded the children of Israel to offer their oblations to the Lord when they were in the Desert of Sin.
