19. “Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean may not be eaten; it must be completely burned up. The rest of the meat may be eaten, but only by people who are ceremonially clean.
20. If you are ceremonially unclean and you eat meat from a peace offering that was presented to the lord, you will be cut off from the community.
21. If you touch anything that is unclean (whether it is human defilement or an unclean animal or any other unclean, detestable thing) and then eat meat from a peace offering presented to the lord, you will be cut off from the community.”
22. Then the lord said to Moses,
23. “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. You must never eat fat, whether from cattle, sheep, or goats.
24. The fat of an animal found dead or torn to pieces by wild animals must never be eaten, though it may be used for any other purpose.
25. Anyone who eats fat from an animal presented as a special gift to the lord will be cut off from the community.
26. No matter where you live, you must never consume the blood of any bird or animal.
27. Anyone who consumes blood will be cut off from the community.”
28. Then the lord said to Moses,
29. “Give the following instructions to the people of Israel. When you present a peace offering to the lord, bring part of it as a gift to the lord.
30. Present it to the lord with your own hands as a special gift to the lord. Bring the fat of the animal, together with the breast, and lift up the breast as a special offering to the lord.
31. Then the priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his descendants.
32. Give the right thigh of your peace offering to the priest as a gift.
33. The right thigh must always be given to the priest who offers the blood and the fat of the peace offering.
34. For I have reserved the breast of the special offering and the right thigh of the sacred offering for the priests. It is the permanent right of Aaron and his descendants to share in the peace offerings brought by the people of Israel.
35. This is their rightful share. The special gifts presented to the lord have been reserved for Aaron and his descendants from the time they were set apart to serve the lord as priests.
