Bible verse
This shall be the priests’ share from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether a bull or a sheep: the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach.
Deuteronomy 18:3 · BSB
The verses around it, from Deuteronomy 18.
1 The Levitical priests—indeed the whole tribe of Levi—shall have no portion or inheritance with Israel. They are to eat the offerings made by fire to the LORD; that is their inheritance.
2 Although they have no inheritance among their brothers, the LORD is their inheritance, as He promised them.
3 This shall be the priests’ share from the people who offer a sacrifice, whether a bull or a sheep: the priests are to be given the shoulder, the jowls, and the stomach.
4 You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine, and oil, and the first wool sheared from your flock.
5 For the LORD your God has chosen Levi and his sons out of all your tribes to stand and minister in His name for all time.
6 Now if a Levite moves from any town of residence throughout Israel and comes in all earnestness to the place the LORD will choose,
7 then he shall serve in the name of the LORD his God like all his fellow Levites who stand there before the LORD.
