Leviticus 7:23-33 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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.

33. The one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat, the right thigh shall be his as his portion.
