Leviticus 7:33-38

33 Whoever among the sons of Aaron offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat shall have the right thigh for a portion.

34 For the breast that is ¹waved and the thigh that is ²contributed I have taken from the people of Israel, out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and ³have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a perpetual due from the people of Israel.

35 This is the portion of Aaron and of his sons from the LORD's food offerings, from the day they were presented to serve as priests of the LORD.

36 The LORD commanded this to be given them by the people of Israel, ⁴from the day that he anointed them. It is a perpetual due throughout their generations."

37 This is the law ⁵of the burnt offering, of the grain offering, of the sin offering, ⁶of the guilt offering, ⁷of the ordination offering, and ⁸of the peace offering,

38 which the LORD commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the people of Israel ⁹to bring their offerings to the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai.
