18. If any of the meat of his fellowship sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presents it; it is repulsive. The person who eats any of it will be responsible for his sin.
19. “Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. Everyone who is clean may eat any other meat.
20. But the one who eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from his people.
21. If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable creature, and eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice, that person must be cut off from his people.”
22. The Lord spoke to Moses:
23. “Tell the Israelites: You are not to eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.
24. The fat of an animal that dies naturally or is mauled by wild beasts may be used for any purpose, but you must not eat it.
25. If anyone eats animal fat from a fire offering presented to the Lord, the person who eats it must be cut off from his people.
26. Wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
27. Whoever eats any blood, that person must be cut off from his people.”
28. The Lord spoke to Moses:
29. “Tell the Israelites: The one who presents a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord must bring an offering to the Lord from his sacrifice.
30. His own hands will bring the fire offerings to the Lord. He will bring the fat together with the breast. The breast is to be waved as a presentation offering before the Lord.
31. The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.
32. You are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your fellowship sacrifices.
33. The son of Aaron who presents the blood of the fellowship offering and the fat will have the right thigh as a portion.
34. I have taken from the Israelites the breast of the presentation offering and the thigh of the contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, and have assigned them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion from the Israelites.”
35. This is the portion from the fire offerings to the Lord for Aaron and his sons since the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests.
36. The Lord commanded this to be given to them by the Israelites on the day He anointed them. It is a permanent portion throughout their generations.
