Leviticus 7:28-36
Lexham English Bible
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.

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
28 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 29 “Speak to the Israelites: Any one of you who would offer to the Lord your sacrifice of well-being must yourself bring to the Lord your offering from your sacrifice of well-being.(A) 30 Your own hands shall bring the Lord’s offering by fire;[a] you shall bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be raised as an elevation offering before the Lord. 31 The priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, but the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons.(B) 32 And the right thigh from your sacrifices of well-being you shall give to the priest as an offering; 33 the one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the offering of well-being shall have the right thigh for a portion. 34 For I have taken the breast of the elevation offering and the thigh that is offered from the Israelites, from their sacrifices of well-being, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a perpetual due from the Israelites.(C) 35 This is the portion allotted to Aaron and to his sons from the offerings made by fire[b] to the Lord, once they have been brought forward to serve the Lord as priests; 36 these the Lord commanded to be given them, when he anointed them, as a perpetual due from the Israelites throughout their generations.”
