Context of Leviticus 7:29
27Anyone who consumes blood will be cut off from the community.” 28Then the Lord said to Moses, “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. When you present a peace offering to the Lord, bring part of it as a gift to the Lord. 30Present it to the Lord with your own hands as a special gift to the Lord. Bring the fat of the animal, together with the breast, and lift up the breast as a special offering to the Lord. 31Then the priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his descendants.
