Leviticus 7:25-35

25 For whoever eats the fat of animals of the kind used in presenting an offering made by fire to ADONAI will be cut off from his people.
26 You are not to eat any kind of blood, whether from birds or animals, in any of your homes.
27 Whoever eats any blood will be cut off from his people.'"
28 ADONAI said to Moshe,
29 "Say to the people of Isra'el, 'A person who offers his sacrifice of peace offerings to ADONAI is to bring part of his sacrifice of peace offerings as his offering for ADONAI.
30 He is to bring with his own hands the offerings for ADONAI made by fire - he is to bring the breast with its fat. The breast is to be waved as a wave offering before ADONAI.
31 The cohen is to make the fat go up in smoke on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aharon and his descendants.
32 You are to give the right thigh from your sacrifices of peace offerings to the cohen as a contribution.
33 The descendant of Aharon who offers the blood of the peace offerings is to have the right thigh as his share.
34 For the breast that has been waved and the thigh that has been contributed I have taken from the people of Isra'el out of their sacrifices of peace offerings and given them to Aharon the cohen and to his descendants as their share forever from the people of Isra'el.'"
35 On the day when Aharon and his sons were presented to serve ADONAI in the office of cohen, this portion was set aside for him and his descendants from the offerings for ADONAI made by fire.
