Bible verse
The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.
Leviticus 7:31 · BSB
The verses around it, from Leviticus 7.
27 If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.’”
28 Then the LORD said to Moses,
29 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Anyone who presents a peace offering to the LORD must bring it as his sacrifice to the LORD.
30 With his own hands he is to bring the offerings made by fire to the LORD; he shall bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the LORD.
31 The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.
32 And you are to give the right thigh to the priest as a contribution from your peace offering.
33 The son of Aaron who presents the blood and fat of the peace offering shall have the right thigh as a portion.
34 I have taken from the sons of Israel the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and his sons as a permanent portion from the sons of Israel.’”
35 This is the portion of the offerings made by fire to the LORD for Aaron and his sons since the day they were presented to serve the LORD as priests.
