²⁹Speak to the children of Israel, saying: He that offereth a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him offer therewith a sacrifice also, that is, the libations thereof.

³⁰He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. And when he hath offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,

³¹Who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.

³²The right shoulder also of the victim, of peace offerings shall fall to the priest for firstfruits.

³³He among the sons of Aaron, that offereth the blood, and the fat: he shall have the right shoulder also for his portion.

³⁴For the breast that is elevated and the shoulder that is separated I have taken of the children of Israel, from off their victims of peace offerings: and have given them to Aaron the priest, and to his sons, by a law for ever, from all the people of Israel.

³⁵This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, in the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, that they might do the office of priesthood,

³⁶And the things that the Lord commanded to be given them by the children of Israel, by a perpetual observance in their generations.
