Leviticus 7:29-34

Contemporary English Version

^29-30 to say to the people of Israel:

If you want to offer a sacrifice to ask my blessing, you must bring the part to be burned and lay it on the bronze altar. But you must first lift up^[a] the choice ribs with their fat to show that the offering is dedicated to me. ³¹ A priest from Aaron's family will then send the fat up in smoke, but the ribs belong to the priests. ^32-33 The upper joint of the right hind leg is for the priest who offers the blood and the fat of the animal. ³⁴ I have decided that the people of Israel must always give the choice ribs and the upper joint of the right hind leg to Aaron's descendants
