Leviticus 7:29-31
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
29 Tell the Israelites: The person who offers a communion sacrifice to the Lord shall be the one to bring from it the offering to the Lord. 30 The offerer’s own hands shall carry the oblations for the Lord: the person shall bring the fat together with the brisket, which is to be raised as an elevated(A) offering[a] before the Lord. 31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar,(B) but the brisket belongs to Aaron and his sons.

- 7:30 Raised as an elevated offering: these portions of the sacrifices were specially dedicated by lifting them in presentation before God’s abode. The sanctifying effect of this action is clearly seen in 23:17–20; Nm 6:19–20.
