Leviticus 7:28-36

International Standard Version

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.
