Leviticus 7:28-36
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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.

The Priests’ Portions
28 The Lord told Moses, 29 “Tell the Israelis that whoever brings a peace offering sacrifice to the Lord is to bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 30 He is to bring the offering made by fire with his own hands to the Lord. He is to bring the fat with the breast, since the breast is to be waved as a raised offering to the Lord. 31 The priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons. 32 From the sacrifices of your peace offerings give the right thigh to the priest as a raised offering to the Lord. 33 The descendant of Aaron’s sons who brings the blood and the fat from the peace offering is to keep the right thigh for his own portion, 34 since I’ve taken the breast and the thigh as raised offerings from the sacrifices of peace offerings of the Israelis and have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as their perpetual portion from the Israelis.”
35 This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his descendants from the offerings made by fire to the Lord, the day they were presented to be priests to the Lord. 36 This is what the Lord had commanded to give them the day he anointed them from among the Israelis—a perpetual portion for their generations.
