Leviticus 7:28-38 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

28. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

29. Speak to the sons of Israel, saying: Whoever offers a victim of peace offerings to the Lord, let him also offer at the same time a sacrifice, that is, its libations.

30. He shall hold in his hands the fat of the victim, and the breast. And when he will have offered and consecrated both to the Lord, he shall deliver them to the priest,

31. who shall burn the fat upon the altar. But the breast shall be for Aaron and his sons.

32. Likewise also, the right shoulder of the victim of peace offerings shall fall to the priest as first-fruits.

33. Among the sons of Aaron, whoever will have offered the blood and the fat, the same one shall also have the right shoulder for his portion.

34. So then, the breast that is lifted up, and the shoulder that is separated, I have taken from the sons of Israel, from their victims of peace offerings, and I have given these to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a law in perpetuity, from all the people of Israel.

35. This is the anointing of Aaron and his sons, by the ceremonies of the Lord, in the day when Moses offered them, so that they may fulfill the priesthood,

36. and this is what the Lord instructed to be given to them by the sons of Israel, as a perpetual observance in their generations.

37. This is the law of the holocaust, and of the sacrifice for sin, and for transgression, and for consecration, and for the victims of peace offerings,

38. which the Lord appointed to Moses on mount Sinai, when he commanded the sons of Israel to offer their oblations to the Lord in the desert of Sinai.
