Leviticus 7:22-32 New International Version (NIV)

22. The Lord said to Moses,

23. “Say to the Israelites: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats.

24. The fat of an animal found dead or torn by wild animals may be used for any other purpose, but you must not eat it.

25. Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which a food offering may be presented to the Lord must be cut off from their people.

26. And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.

27. Anyone who eats blood must be cut off from their people.’ ”

28. The Lord said to Moses,

29. “Say to the Israelites: ‘Anyone who brings a fellowship offering to the Lord is to bring part of it as their sacrifice to the Lord.

30. With their own hands they are to present the food offering to the Lord; they are to bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast before the Lord as a wave offering.

31. The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.

32. You are to give the right thigh of your fellowship offerings to the priest as a contribution.
