At the broad bronze altar, a white-linen priest places only the pale fat portions on the low fire. Beside him, Aaron and his adult sons receive the cooked breast and exactly one right thigh as their permanent priestly portions. Clear separation between what burns and what is retained; no whole carcass, blood, gore, duplicate thighs, or feast scene.

31The priest shall burn the fat on the altar, and the breast shall belong to Aaron and to his sons.

32And you shall give the right thigh as a contribution to the priest from your sacrifices of peace offerings.

33The one from among the sons of Aaron who presents the blood of the peace offerings and the fat—to him the right thigh shall belong as his portion.

34For I have taken the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution from the sons of Israel, from their sacrifices of peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons as a permanent statute from the sons of Israel.
