28 ¶ And the Lord talked with Moses, saying,

29 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, He that offereth his peace offerings unto the Lord, shall bring his gift unto the Lord of his peace offerings.

30 His [a]hands shall bring the offerings of the Lord made by fire: even the fat with the breast shall he bring, that the breast may be (A)shaken to and fro before the Lord.

31 Then the Priest shall burn the fat upon the Altar, and the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

32 And the right shoulder shall ye give unto the Priest for an heave offering, of your peace offerings.

33 The same that offereth the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat among the sons of Aaron, shall have the right shoulder for his part.

34 For the breast shaken to and fro, and the shoulder lifted up, have I taken of the children of Israel, even of their peace offerings, and have given them unto Aaron the Priest and unto his sons by a statute forever from among the children of Israel.

35 ¶ This is the [b]anointing of Aaron, and the anointing of his sons, concerning the offerings of the Lord made by fire, in the day when he presented them to serve in the Priest’s office unto the Lord.

36 The which portions the Lord commanded to give them in the day that he anointed them from among the children of Israel, by a statute forever in their generations.
