Leviticus 7:11-38

11“And this is the law of the sacrifice of peace offerings that one may offer to the Lord. 12If he offers it for a thanksgiving, then he shall offer with the thanksgiving sacrifice dunleavened loaves mixed with oil, unleavened wafers smeared with oil, and loaves of fine flour ewell mixed with oil. 13 fWith the sacrifice of his peace offerings for thanksgiving he shall bring his offering with loaves of leavened bread. 14And from it he shall offer one loaf from each offering, as a ggift to the Lord. hIt shall belong to the priest who throws the blood of the peace offerings. 15And the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offerings ifor thanksgiving shall be eaten on the day of his offering. He shall not leave any of it until the morning. 16But jif the sacrifice of his offering is a vow offering or a freewill offering, it shall be eaten on the day that he offers his sacrifice, and on the next day what remains of it shall be eaten. 17But what remains of the flesh of the sacrifice on the third day shall be burned up with fire. 18If any of the flesh of the sacrifice of his peace offering is eaten on the third day, he who offers it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be credited to him. It is ktainted, and he who eats of it shall bear his iniquity.

19Flesh that touches any unclean thing shall not be eaten. It shall be burned up with fire. All who are clean may eat flesh, 20but the person who eats of the flesh of the sacrifice of the Lord’s peace offerings lwhile an uncleanness is on him, that person shall be cut off from his people. 21And if anyone touches an unclean thing, whether mhuman uncleanness or an nunclean beast or any ounclean detestable creature, and then eats some flesh from the sacrifice of the Lord’s peace offerings, that person shall be cut off from his people.”

22The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 23Speak to the people of Israel, saying, pYou shall eat no fat, of ox or sheep or goat. 24The fat of an animal qthat dies of itself and the fat of one that is torn by beasts may be put to any other use, but on no account shall you eat it. 25For every person who eats of the fat of an animal of which a food offering may be made to the Lord shall be cut off from his people. 26Moreover, ryou shall eat no blood whatever, whether of fowl or of animal, in any of your dwelling places. 27Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.”

28The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 29Speak to the people of Israel, saying, sWhoever offers the sacrifice of his peace offerings to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offerings. 30 tHis own hands shall bring the Lord’s food offerings. He shall bring the fat with uthe breast, that the breast may be waved as a wave offering before the Lord. 31 vThe priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but wthe breast shall be for Aaron and his sons. 32And xthe right thigh you shall give to the priest as a contribution from the sacrifice of your peace offerings. 33Whoever among the sons of Aaron offers the blood of the peace offerings and the fat shall have the right thigh for a portion. 34For the breast that is ywaved and the thigh that is zcontributed I have taken from the people of Israel, out of the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and aahave given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a perpetual due from the people of Israel. 35This 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. 36The Lord commanded this to be given them by the people of Israel, abfrom the day that he anointed them. It is a perpetual due throughout their generations.”

37This is the law acof the burnt offering, of the grain offering, of the sin offering, adof the guilt offering, aeof the ordination offering, and afof the peace offering, 38which the Lord commanded Moses on Mount Sinai, on the day that he commanded the people of Israel agto bring their offerings to the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai.
