Context of Exodus 29:26

24Put all of these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, who will offer them to the Lord. 25Then take them from their hands, and burn them on the altar on top of the burnt offering. It’s a soothing aroma in the Lord’s presence, an offering by fire to the Lord. “Take the breast from the ram used for Aaron’s ordination, and present it to the Lord. This will be your share. 27Set apart as holy the breast that is offered to the Lord and the thigh that is the contribution. Both will come from the ram used for the ordination. They both belong to Aaron and his sons. 28It is a permanent law that the Israelites give this portion to Aaron and his sons as a contribution. This will also be their contribution to the Lord from the fellowship offerings.
