22. The Lord said to Moses,
23. “Tell the Israelites: You must not eat any fat from your cattle, sheep, or goats.
24. You may use the fat from any animal that has died by itself or was torn by other animals, but you must never eat it.
25. Whoever eats the fat from an animal that was offered as a gift to the Lord must be separated from their people.
26. “No matter where you live, you must never eat blood from any bird or any animal.
27. Anyone who eats blood must be separated from their people.”
28. The Lord said to Moses,
29. “Tell the Israelites: If you bring a fellowship offering to the Lord, you must present that gift to the Lord yourself.
30. You must bring the fat and the breast of the animal to the priest. Then he will lift up the breast in front of the Lord to show it was presented to God.
31. The priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast of the animal will belong to Aaron and his sons.
32. You must also give the right thigh from the fellowship offering as a gift to the priest.
33. That part of the fellowship offering will belong to the priest who carries the blood and fat to the altar.
34. I will accept the breast that was lifted up and the gift of the right thigh from the Israelites. Then I will give these things to Aaron and his sons. This is their share from the fellowship offerings of the Israelites forever.”
35. Those parts from the gifts offered to the Lord were given to Aaron and his sons. Whenever Aaron and his sons serve as the Lord’S priests, they get that share of the sacrifices.
36. The Lord commanded the Israelites to give those parts to the priests once they have been anointed. That will be their share from the Israelites forever.
