Priestly Portions of Peace Offerings Then 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.

30

With 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,

31

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

32

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

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

34

for 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.’”
