Leviticus 7:32-38

32 You are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your fellowship sacrifices.

33 The son of Aaron who presents the blood of the fellowship offering and the fat will have the right thigh as a portion.

34 I have taken from the Israelites the breast of the presentation offering and the thigh of the contribution from their fellowship sacrifices, and have assigned them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion^[a] from the Israelites."

35 This is the portion from the fire offerings to the Lord for Aaron and his sons^[b] since the day they were presented to serve the Lord as priests.

36 The Lord commanded this to be given to them by the Israelites on the day He anointed them. It is a permanent portion^[c] throughout their generations.

37 This is the law for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, the restitution offering, the ordination offering,^[d] and the fellowship sacrifice,

38 which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai on the day He^[e] commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the Lord in the Wilderness of Sinai.^[f]
