Leviticus 7:14-31 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

14. From the cakes he must present one portion of each offering as a contribution to the Lord. It will belong to the priest who sprinkles the blood of the fellowship offering; it is his.

15. The meat of his thanksgiving sacrifice of fellowship must be eaten on the day he offers it; he may not leave any of it until morning.

16. “If the sacrifice he offers is a vow or a freewill offering, it is to be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and what is left over may be eaten on the next day.

17. But what remains of the sacrificial meat by the third day must be burned up.

18. If any of the meat of his fellowship sacrifice is eaten on the third day, it will not be accepted. It will not be credited to the one who presents it; it is repulsive. The person who eats any of it will be responsible for his sin.

19. “Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. Everyone who is clean may eat any other meat.

20. But the one who eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice while he is unclean, that person must be cut off from his people.

21. If someone touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable creature, and eats meat from the Lord’s fellowship sacrifice, that person must be cut off from his people.”

22. The Lord spoke to Moses:

23. “Tell the Israelites: You are not to eat any fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

24. The fat of an animal that dies naturally or is mauled by wild beasts may be used for any purpose, but you must not eat it.

25. If anyone eats animal fat from a fire offering presented to the Lord, the person who eats it must be cut off from his people.

26. Wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.

27. Whoever eats any blood, that person must be cut off from his people.”

28. The Lord spoke to Moses:

29. “Tell the Israelites: The one who presents a fellowship sacrifice to the Lord must bring an offering to the Lord from his sacrifice.

30. His own hands will bring the fire offerings to the Lord. He will bring the fat together with the breast. The breast is to be waved as a presentation offering before the Lord.

31. The priest is to burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and his sons.
