Leviticus 7:22-35 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

22. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

23. “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘You must not eat any fat of ox, or sheep, or goat;

24. and a dead body’s fat or mangled carcass’s fat may be used for any purpose, but you certainly must not eat it.

25. When anyone eats fat from the domestic animal from which he presented an offering made by fire for Yahweh, then that person who ate shall be cut off from his people.

26. And in any of your dwellings, you must not eat any blood belonging to birds or domestic animals.

27. Any person who eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”

28. Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

29. “Speak to the Israelites, saying, ‘The one who presents his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice for Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice.

30. His own hands must bring Yahweh’s offerings made by fire. He must bring the fat in addition to the breast section to wave the breast section as a wave offering before Yahweh,

31. and the priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, and the breast section shall be for Aaron and his sons.

32. And the right upper thigh you must give as a contribution for the priest from your fellowship offerings’ sacrifice.

33. As for the one from Aaron’s sons who presents the blood of the fellowship offerings and the fat, the right upper thigh shall belong to him as his share,

34. because I have taken the wave offering’s breast section and the contribution offering’s upper thigh from the Israelites out of their fellowship offerings’ sacrifices, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons from the Israelites as a lasting rule.’ ”

35. This is Aaron’s allotted portion and his sons’ allotted portion from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire when he brought them forward to serve as priests for Yahweh.
