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 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 29 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh out of the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 30 With his own hands he shall bring the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before Yahweh. 31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. 32 The right thigh you shall give to the priest for a heave offering out of the sacrifices of your peace offerings. 33 He among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings, and the fat, shall have the right thigh for a portion. 34 For the waved breast and the heaved thigh I have taken from the children of Israel out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their portion forever from the children of Israel.’”

35 This is the consecrated portion of Aaron, and the consecrated portion of his sons, out of the offerings of Yahweh made by fire, in the day when he presented them to minister to Yahweh in the priest’s office; 36 which Yahweh commanded to be given them of the children of Israel, in the day that he anointed them. It is their portion forever throughout their generations.
