Leviticus 7:28-36

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Priest’s Portion of the Fellowship Offering

²⁸ The Lord spoke to Moses ²⁹ and told him to tell the Israelites these things:

Anyone who presents his sacrifice as a fellowship offering to the Lord shall bring some of his fellowship sacrifice as an offering to the Lord. ³⁰ His own hands must bring the gifts made by fire to the Lord. He shall bring the fat on the breast in order to offer the breast as a wave offering to the Lord. ³¹ The priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, but the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons. ³² You shall give the right thigh to the priest as an elevated offering from your fellowship sacrifices. ³³ The right thigh shall be the portion that belongs to the son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering. ³⁴ For from the Israelites I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the elevated offering^[a] from their fellowship sacrifices, and I have assigned them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the Israelites as a perpetual regulation.

³⁵ This is the assigned share for Aaron and the assigned share for his sons from the offerings made to the Lord by fire^[b] from the day when he presents them to serve the Lord as priests. ³⁶ It is the share which the Lord commands the Israelites to give them from the day when he anoints them. It is a permanent regulation throughout their generations.
