Leviticus 7:28–36

The Portion of Aaron and His Sons

²⁸Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ²⁹“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ^w‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offering to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offering. ^30xHis own hands shall bring the offerings made by fire to the Lord. The fat with the breast he shall bring, that the ^ybreast may be waved as a wave offering before the Lord. ^31zAnd the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the ^abreast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’. ^32bAlso the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings. ³³He among the sons of Aaron, who offers the blood of the peace offering and the fat, shall have the right thigh for his part. ³⁴For ^cthe breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering I have taken from the children of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the children of Israel by a statute forever.’ ”

³⁵This is the consecrated portion for Aaron and his sons, from the offerings made by fire to the Lord, on the day when Moses presented them to ⁵minister to the Lord as priests. ³⁶The Lord commanded this to be given to them by the children of Israel, ^don the day that He anointed them, by a statute forever throughout their generations.
