Leviticus 7:26-36

26 No matter where the Israelites live, they must never use the blood of birds or animals for food. 1
27 Anyone who breaks this law will no longer be considered one of God's people.
28 The Lord gave Moses the following regulations
29 for the people of Israel. When any of you offer a fellowship offering you must bring part of it as a special gift to the Lord,
30 bringing it with your own hands as a food offering. You shall bring the fat of the animal with its breast and present it as a special gift to the Lord.
31 The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the breast shall belong to the priests.
32 The right hind leg of the animal shall be given as a special contribution
33 to the priest who offers the blood and the fat of the fellowship offering.
34 The breast of the animal is a special gift, and the right hind leg is a special contribution that the Lord has taken from the people of Israel and given to the priests. This is what the people of Israel must give to the priests for all time to come.
35 This is the part of the food offered to the Lord that was given to Aaron and his sons on the day they were ordained as priests.
36 On that day the Lord commanded the people of Israel to give them this part of the offering. It is a regulation that the people of Israel must obey for all time to come.
