Leviticus 7:28-36

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.”
