Portions of Fellowship Offerings for Priests

28 Then[a] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 29 “Speak to the Israelites,[b] saying, ‘The one who presents his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice for Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice. 30 His own hands must bring Yahweh’s offerings made by fire. He must bring the fat in addition to the breast section to wave the breast section as a wave offering before Yahweh, 31 and the priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, and the breast section shall be for Aaron and his[c] sons. 32 And the right upper thigh you[d] must give as a contribution for the priest from your[e] fellowship offerings’ sacrifice. 33 As for the one from Aaron’s sons who presents the blood of the fellowship offerings and the fat, the right upper thigh shall belong to him[f] as his share, 34 because I have taken the wave offering’s breast section and the contribution offering’s upper thigh from the Israelites[g] out of their fellowship offerings’ sacrifices, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his[h] sons from the Israelites[i] as a lasting rule.’”

35 This is Aaron’s allotted portion and his sons’ allotted portion from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire when[j] he brought them forward to serve as priests for Yahweh. 36 This is what Yahweh commanded to give them from the Israelites[k] on the day of his anointing them; it is a lasting statute for their generations.

28 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 29 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers (A)the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 30 His own hands are to bring offerings by fire to the Lord. He shall bring the fat with the breast, so that the (B)breast may be [a]presented as a wave offering before the Lord. 31 And the priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but (C)the breast shall belong to Aaron and to his sons. 32 And you shall give (D)the right thigh to the priest as a [b]contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 33 The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, the right thigh shall be his as his portion. 34 For I have taken from the sons of Israel (E)the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the [c]contribution from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their allotted portion forever from the sons of Israel.

35 ‘This is the (F)allotment to Aaron and the allotment to his sons from the offerings by fire to the Lord, on that day when he presented them to serve as priests to the Lord. 36 [d]These the Lord had commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel on the day that He (G)anointed them. It is their allotted portion forever throughout their generations.’”
