Leviticus 7:20-34

20A person who is not clean might eat the friendship offering to the Lord. If he does, they must send him away from Israel's people.

21A person might touch something that is not clean. He must not eat the meat of the offering to the Lord. That person must not eat it if he has touched an unclean animal or an unclean person. If he does eat it, they must send him away. They must send him away from Israel's people.’

22The Lord said to Moses,

23‘Tell Israel's people this. They must not eat the fat from sheep, cows or goats.

24A person can use the fat of a dead animal that he has found, but he must not eat it.

25They must not eat the fat of an animal that they have burnt as a gift on the Lord's altar. They must send away from God's people anyone who does eat it.

26You must not eat the blood of an animal or of a bird even if you are living in another country.

27You must send away from Israel's people any person who eats blood.’

28The Lord said to Moses,

29‘Say to Israel's people, “When a person gives an animal as a friendship offering, he must bring part of it to the Lord.

30He must carry the offering in his own hands to the fire. He must bring the fat and the meat of the ribs and he must lift the meat to the Lord.

31The priest will burn the fat at the altar. He will lift the meat of the ribs to God. Then Aaron's sons can eat it.

32The top part of the back right leg of the animal is a gift.

33It is for the priest who offers the blood and the fat.

34The ribs and the top part of the right leg are gifts. They are from the friendship offering. God wants Aaron and his sons to have them. People must give these parts of their gift to the priests.
