Leviticus 7:28-36
English Standard Version
28 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 29 “Speak to the people of Israel, saying, (A)Whoever offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 30 (B)His own hands shall bring the Lord's food offerings. He shall bring the fat with (C)the breast, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the Lord. 31 (D)The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but (E)the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons. 32 And (F)the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifice of your peace offerings. 33 Whoever among the sons of Aaron offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat shall have the right thigh for a portion. 34 For the breast that is (G)waved and the thigh that is (H)contributed I have taken from the people of Israel, out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and (I)have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a perpetual due from the people of Israel. 35 This is the portion of Aaron and of his sons from the Lord's food offerings, from the day they were presented to serve as priests of the Lord. 36 The Lord commanded this to be given them by the people of Israel, (J)from the day that he anointed them. It is a perpetual due throughout their generations.”

The Portion for the Priests
28 The Lord spoke to Moses: 29 “Tell the Israelites: The one who presents a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord must bring an offering to the Lord from his sacrifice. 30 His own hands will bring the fire offerings to the Lord. He will bring the fat together with the breast. The breast is to be waved as a presentation offering(A) before the Lord. 31 The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. 32 You are to give the right thigh(B) to the priest as a contribution from your fellowship sacrifices. 33 The son of Aaron who presents the blood of the fellowship offering and the fat will have the right thigh as a portion. 34 I have taken from the Israelites the breast of the presentation offering and the thigh of the contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, and have assigned them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion[a](C) from the Israelites.”
35 This is the portion from the fire offerings to the Lord for Aaron and his sons(D) since the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests. 36 The Lord commanded this to be given to them by the Israelites on the day He anointed them.(E) It is a permanent portion[b] throughout their generations.
