The Portion of Aaron and His Sons

²⁸ Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁹ “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ^(A)‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offering to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offering. ^30 (B)His own hands shall bring the offerings made by fire to the Lord. The fat with the breast he shall bring, that the ^(C)breast may be waved as a wave offering before the Lord. ^31 (D)And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the ^(E)breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. ^32 (F)Also the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. ³³ He among the sons of Aaron, who offers the blood of the peace offering and the fat, shall have the right thigh for his part. ³⁴ For ^(G)the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering I have taken from the children of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the children of Israel by a statute forever.’ ”

³⁵ This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons, from the offerings made by fire to the Lord, on the day when Moses presented them to ^[a]minister to the Lord as priests. ³⁶ The Lord commanded this to be given to them by the children of Israel, ^(H)on the day that He anointed them, by a statute forever throughout their generations.
