Leviticus 7:22-38
New American Standard Bible
22 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘You shall not eat (A)any fat from an ox, a sheep, or a goat. 24 Also the fat of an animal which dies and the fat of an animal (B)torn by animals may be put to any other use, but you certainly are not to eat it. 25 For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which [a]an offering by fire is offered to the Lord, the person who eats it shall also be cut off from his people. 26 And (C)you are not to eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your dwellings. 27 Any person who eats any blood, that person shall also be cut off from his people.’”
28 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 29 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers (D)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 (E)breast may be [b]presented as a wave offering before the Lord. 31 And the priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but (F)the breast shall belong to Aaron and to his sons. 32 And you shall give (G)the right thigh to the priest as a [c]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 (H)the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the [d]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 (I)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 [e]These the Lord had commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel on the day that He (J)anointed them. It is their allotted portion forever throughout their generations.’”
37 This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering and the guilt offering, and (K)the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings, 38 (L)which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day that He commanded the sons of Israel to [f]present their offerings to the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.

Eating Fat and Blood Forbidden
22 The Lord said to Moses, 23 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats.(A) 24 The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals(B) may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it. 25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which a food offering may be[a] presented to the Lord must be cut off from their people. 26 And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood(C) of any bird or animal. 27 Anyone who eats blood(D) must be cut off from their people.’”
The Priests’ Share
28 The Lord said to Moses, 29 “Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who brings a fellowship offering to the Lord is to bring part of it as their sacrifice to the Lord. 30 With their own hands they are to present the food offering to the Lord; they are to bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast before the Lord as a wave offering.(E) 31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar,(F) but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.(G) 32 You are to give the right thigh of your fellowship offerings to the priest as a contribution.(H) 33 The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering shall have the right thigh as his share. 34 From the fellowship offerings of the Israelites, I have taken the breast that is waved and the thigh(I) that is presented and have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons(J) as their perpetual share from the Israelites.’”
35 This is the portion of the food offerings presented to the Lord that were allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests. 36 On the day they were anointed,(K) the Lord commanded that the Israelites give this to them as their perpetual share for the generations to come.
37 These, then, are the regulations for the burnt offering,(L) the grain offering,(M) the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering(N) and the fellowship offering, 38 which the Lord gave Moses(O) at Mount Sinai(P) in the Desert of Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelites to bring their offerings to the Lord.(Q)
