Leviticus 7:26-38

26Moreover, you are not to eat any blood [of any kind], whether of bird or animal, in any of your dwelling places.

27Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

28Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

29“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

30With his own hands he is to bring offerings by fire to the Lord; he shall bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be presented as a wave offering before the Lord.

31The priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.

32You shall give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.

33The son of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat shall have the right thigh as his portion.

34For I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering from the Israelites, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their perpetual portion from the Israelites.

35‘This is the consecrated portion from the offerings by fire to the Lord that was designated for Aaron and his sons on the day he presented them to serve as priests to the Lord.

36The Lord commanded this to be given to the priests by the Israelites on the day that He anointed them. It is their portion perpetually throughout their generations.’ ”

37This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the consecration (ordination) offering, and the sacrifice of peace offerings,

38which the Lord commanded Moses at Mount Sinai on the day He commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the Lord, in the Wilderness of Sinai.
