Leviticus 7:18-32 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

18. So if any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings should ever be eaten on the third day, he who offers it will not be accepted, and it will not be reckoned to his benefit. It shall be an offensive thing, and the person who eats of it will bear his own iniquity.

19. 'Also the flesh that touches anything unclean shall not be eaten; it shall be burned with fire. As for other flesh, anyone who is clean may eat such flesh.

20. But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the Lord, in his uncleanness, that person shall be cut off from his people.

21. When anyone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or any unclean detestable thing, and eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the Lord, that person shall be cut off from his people.'"

22. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

23. "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'You shall not eat any fat from an ox, a sheep or a goat.

24. Also the fat of an animal which dies and the fat of an animal torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but you must certainly not eat it.

25. For whoever eats the fat of the animal from which an offering by fire is offered to the Lord, even the person who eats shall be cut off from his people.

26. You are not to eat any blood, either of bird or animal, in any of your dwellings.

27. Any person who eats any blood, even that person shall be cut off from his people.'"

28. Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

29. "Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offerings.

30. His own hands are to bring offerings by fire to the Lord. He shall bring the fat with the breast, that the breast may be presented as a wave offering before the Lord.

31. The priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons.

32. You shall give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
