New King James Version
Leviticus 7:20-34
20But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord, while he is unclean, that person shall be cut off from his people.
21Moreover the person who touches any unclean thing, such as human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any abominable unclean thing, and who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of the peace offering that belongs to the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
22And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
23“Speak to the children of Israel, saying: ‘You shall not eat any fat, of ox or sheep or goat.
24And the fat of an animal that dies naturally, and the fat of what is torn by wild beasts, may be used in any other way; but you shall by no means eat it.
25For whoever eats the fat of the animal of which men offer an offering made by fire to the Lord, the person who eats it shall be cut off from his people.
26Moreover you shall not eat any blood in any of your dwellings, whether of bird or beast.
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 offering to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offering.
30His own hands shall bring the offerings made by fire to the Lord. The fat with the breast he shall bring, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the Lord.
31And the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
32Also 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 the 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.’ ”
