11 'Now this is the law of the 1sacrifice of peace offerings which shall be presented to the LORD.
12 'If he offers it by way of 2thanksgiving, then along with the sacrifice of thanksgiving he shall offer 3unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and unleavened wafers spread with oil, and cakes of well stirred fine flour mixed with oil.
13 'With the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving, he shall present his offering with cakes of 4leavened bread.
14 'Of this he shall present one of every offering as a contribution to the LORD; 5it shall belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the peace offerings.
15 '6Now as for the flesh of the sacrifice of his thanksgiving peace offerings, it shall be eaten on the day of his offering; he shall not leave any of it over until morning.
16 'But if the sacrifice of his offering is a 7votive or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day what is left of it may be eaten;
17 8but what is left over from the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned with fire.
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 9offensive 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 '10But the person who eats the flesh of the sacrifice of peace offerings which belong to the LORD, in his uncleanness, that person 11shall be cut off from his people.
21 '12When 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 13any fat from an ox, a sheep or a goat.
24 'Also the fat of an animal which dies and the fat of an animal 14torn 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 '15You 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 16the 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 17breast may be presented as a wave offering before the LORD.
31 'The priest shall offer up the fat in smoke on the altar, but 18the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons.
32 'You shall give 19the 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.
34 'For I have taken 20the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution from the sons of Israel from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as their due forever from the sons of Israel.
35 'This is that which is consecrated to Aaron and that 21which is consecrated to his sons from the offerings by fire to the LORD, in that day when he presented them to serve as priests to the LORD.
36 'These the LORD had commanded to be given them from the sons of Israel in the day that He 22anointed them. It is their due forever throughout their generations.' "
37 This is the law of the burnt offering, the grain offering and the sin offering and the guilt offering and 23the ordination offering and the sacrifice of peace offerings,
38 24which the LORD commanded Moses at Mount Sinai in the day that He commanded the sons of Israel to present their offerings to the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai.
