24 and a dead body’s fat ormangled carcass’s fat may be used for any purpose,butyoucertainly must not eat it.

25 When anyone eats fat from the domestic animal from which he presented an offering made by fire for Yahweh, thenthat personwho ate shall be cut off from his people.

26 And in any of yourdwellings, you must not eat any blood belonging tobirdsordomestic animals.

27 Any personwho eats any blood, that personshall be cut off from his people.’ ”

Portions of Fellowship Offerings for Priests

28 ThenYahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

29 “Speak to the Israelites,saying, ‘The one who presents his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice for Yahweh shall bring his offering to Yahweh from his fellowship offerings’ sacrifice.

30 His own hands must bring Yahweh’s offerings made by fire. He must bring the fat in addition to the breast section to wave the breast section as a wave offering before Yahweh,

31 and the priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, and the breast section shall be for Aaron and hissons.

32 And the right upper thigh youmust give as a contribution for the priest from yourfellowship offerings’ sacrifice.

33 As for the one from Aaron’s sons who presents the blood of the fellowship offerings and the fat, the right upper thigh shall belong to himas his share,

34 because I have taken the wave offering’s breast section and the contribution offering’s upper thigh from the Israelitesout of their fellowship offerings’ sacrifices, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and hissons from the Israelitesas a lasting rule.’ ”

35 This is Aaron’s allotted portion and his sons’ allotted portion from Yahweh’s offerings made by fire whenhe brought them forward to serve as priests for Yahweh.
