²⁹“Speak to the people of Israel. Tell them, ‘Suppose a person brings a friendship offering to the Lord. Then he must bring part of it as his special gift to the Lord. ³⁰He must bring it with his own hands. It is an offering that is made to the Lord with fire. He must bring the fat together with the breast. He must lift the breast up and wave it in front of the Lord as a wave offering. ³¹The priest will burn the fat on the altar.

“ ‘But the breast belongs to Aaron and the priests who are in his family line. ³²Give the right thigh from your friendship offerings to the priest as a gift. ³³The priest who offers the blood and fat from the friendship offering must be given the right thigh. It is his share.

³⁴“ ‘I, the Lord, have taken the breast that is waved and the thigh that is given. I have taken them from the friendship offerings of the people of Israel. And I have given them to the priest Aaron and the priests who are in his family line. The offerings are their regular share from the people of Israel.’ ”
