Leviticus 7:11-34
11“Now this is the Torah of the sacrifice of fellowship offerings which may be offered to Adonai.
12If he brings it for a thanksgiving, then he is to present with the sacrifice of thanksgiving matzah cakes mixed with oil, matzah wafers anointed with oil, and fine flour cakes mixed with oil.
13He is to present his offering with the sacrifice of his fellowship offerings for thanksgiving along with cakes of bread with hametz.
14From each he is to offer one out of every offering as a gift to Adonai. It will belong to the kohen who sprinkles the blood of the fellowship offerings.
15The meat of the sacrifice of his fellowship offerings for thanksgiving is to be eaten on the day of his offering. He is not to leave any of it until the morning.
16“But if the sacrifice of his offering is a vow or a freewill offering, it is to be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice. On the next day what remains of it may be eaten.
17But what remains of the meat of the sacrifice on the third day is to be burned up with fire.
18If any of the meat of the sacrifice of his fellowship offerings is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted, nor will it be credited to him who offers it. It will be a foul thing—and the soul who eats any from it will bear his own iniquity.
19“The meat that touches any unclean thing is not to be eaten. It is to be burned up with fire. As for the meat, everyone who is clean may eat it,
20but the soul who eats of the meat of the sacrifice of fellowship offerings belonging to Adonai, having his uncleanness on him, that soul is to be cut off from his people.
21If anyone touches any unclean thing, whether the uncleanness of man, or an unclean animal or any unclean detestable thing, and eats some of the meat of the sacrifice of fellowship offerings belonging to Adonai, that soul is to be cut off from his people.”
22Adonai spoke to Moses, saying:
23“Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: You are to eat no fat of a bull or sheep or goat.
24The fat of a dead animal and the fat of a torn animal may be used for any other service, but you must not eat it.
25For if anyone eats the fat of the animal from which an offering is made by fire to Adonai, then the soul who eats it is to be cut off from his people.
26“You are not to eat any blood, whether it is from a bird or an animal, in any of your dwellings.
27Whoever it is who consumes any blood, that soul is to be cut off from his people.’”
28Then Adonai spoke to Moses, saying:
29“Speak to Bnei-Yisrael, saying: Whoever brings the sacrifice of his fellowship offerings to Adonai is to present his offering to Adonai out of the sacrifice of his fellowship offerings.
30With his own hands he is to bring Adonai’s offerings by fire. He is to present the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be waved for a wave offering before Adonai.
31The kohen is to burn up the fat as smoke on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his sons.
32The right thigh you are to give to the kohen for a contribution out of the sacrifices of your fellowship offerings.
33The one among Aaron’s sons who offers the blood of the fellowship offerings and the fat is to have the right thigh for a portion.
34For the breast of the wave offering and the thigh contribution I have taken from Bnei-Yisrael out of the sacrifices of their fellowship offerings and have given them to Aaron the kohen and to his sons as their portion forever from Bnei-Yisrael.”
