Leviticus 7:28-35

Common English Bible

²⁸ The Lord said to Moses: ²⁹ Say to the Israelites: If you wish to offer a communal sacrifice of well-being to the Lord, you are allowed to bring your offering to the Lord as your communal sacrifice of well-being.^{[a] 30} Your own hands must bring the Lord’s food gifts. You will bring the fat with the breast so that the breast can be lifted as an uplifted offering before the Lord. ³¹ The priest will completely burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will go to Aaron and his sons. ³² You will give the right thigh of your communal sacrifice of well-being to the priest as a gift. ³³ The right thigh will belong to the son of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the well-being offering. ³⁴ I have taken the breast of the uplifted offering and the thigh that is given by the Israelites from their communal sacrifices of well-being, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as a permanent portion from the Israelites.

³⁵ This is what Aaron and his sons are allotted from the Lord’s food gifts once they have been presented to serve the Lord as priests.
