Leviticus 7:23-32 New Living Translation (NLT)

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.
