You will receive no credit for offering it. By then the meat will be contaminated; if you eat it, you will be punished for your sin.H1320H2077H8002H398H398H7992H3117H7521H2803H7126H6292H5315H398H5375H577119"Meat that touches anything ceremonially unclean may not be eaten; it must be completely burned up.

A Portion for the Priests

28Then the LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H55929"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.H1696H1121H3478H559H7126H2077H8002H3068H935H7133H3068H2077H800230Present 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.H3027H935H801H3068H801H2459H2373H935H2373H5130H8573H6440H306831Then the priest will burn the fat on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his descendants.H3548H6999H2459H4196H2373H175H112132Give the right thigh of your peace offering to the priest as a gift.H3225H7785H5414H3548H8641H2077H800233The right thigh must always be given to the priest who offers the blood and the fat of the peace offering.H1121H175H7126H1818H8002H2459H3225H7785H449034For 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.H8573H2373H8641H7785H3947H1121H3478H2077H8002H5414H175H3548H1121H2706H5769H1121H347835This 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.H4888H175H4888H1121H801H3068H801H3117H7126H3068H354736On the day they were anointed, the LORD commanded the Israelites to give these portions to the priests as their permanent share from generation to generation."H3068H6680H5414H1121H3478H3117H4886H2708H5769H175537These are the instructions for the burnt offering, the grain offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering, as well as the ordination offering and the peace offering.H8451H5930H4503H2403H817H4394H2077H800238The LORD gave these instructions to Moses on Mount Sinai when he commanded the Israelites to present their offerings to the LORD in the wilderness of Sinai.H3068H6680H4872H2022H5514H3117H6680H1121H3478H7126H7133H3068H4057H5514
