12 ¶ Then Moses said unto Aaron and unto Eleazar and to Ithamar his sons that were left, Take the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and eat it without leaven beside the altar: for it is most holy:

13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, because it is thy duty and thy son’s duty of the offerings of the Lord made by fire: for so I am commanded.

14 Also the (A)shaken breast and the [heave] shoulder shall ye eat in a [a]clean place: thou, and thy sons, and thy [b]daughters with thee: for they are given as thy [c]duty and thy son’s duty, of the peace offerings of the children of Israel.

15 The heave shoulder, and the shaken breast shall they bring with the offerings made by fire of the fat, to shake it to and fro before the Lord, and it shall be thine and thy sons with thee by a law forever, as the Lord hath commanded.

12 Moses said to Aaron and his remaining sons, Eleazar and Ithamar, “Take the grain offering(A) left over from the food offerings prepared without yeast and presented to the Lord and eat it beside the altar,(B) for it is most holy. 13 Eat it in the sanctuary area,(C) because it is your share and your sons’ share of the food offerings presented to the Lord; for so I have been commanded.(D) 14 But you and your sons and your daughters may eat the breast(E) that was waved and the thigh that was presented. Eat them in a ceremonially clean place;(F) they have been given to you and your children as your share of the Israelites’ fellowship offerings. 15 The thigh(G) that was presented and the breast that was waved must be brought with the fat portions of the food offerings, to be waved before the Lord as a wave offering.(H) This will be the perpetual share for you and your children, as the Lord has commanded.”
