Leviticus 7:26-38

26And you must not eat any blood of the birds or the domesticated land animals in any of the places where you live.

27Any person who eats any blood – that person will be cut off from his people.’”

28Then the Lord spoke to Moses:

29“Tell the Israelites, ‘The one who presents his peace offering sacrifice to the Lord must bring his offering to the Lord from his peace offering sacrifice.

30With his own hands he must bring the Lord’s gifts. He must bring the fat with the breast to wave the breast as a wave offering before the Lord,

31and the priest must offer the fat up in smoke on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his sons.

32The right thigh you must give as a contribution offering to the priest from your peace offering sacrifices.

33The one from Aaron’s sons who presents the blood of the peace offering and fat will have the right thigh as his share,

34for the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution offering I have taken from the Israelites out of their peace offering sacrifices and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the people of Israel as a perpetual allotted portion.’”

35This is the allotment of Aaron and the allotment of his sons from the Lord’s gifts on the day Moses presented them to serve as priests to the Lord.

36This is what the Lord commanded to give to them from the Israelites on the day Moses anointed them – a perpetual allotted portion throughout their generations.

37This is the law for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the guilt offering, the ordination offering, and the peace offering sacrifice,

38which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day he commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the Lord in the wilderness of Sinai.
