The meat of his thanksgiving peace offering must be eaten on the day of his offering; he must not set any of it aside until morning.

"‘If his offering is a votive or freewill sacrifice, it may be eaten on the day he presents his sacrifice, and also the leftovers from it may be eaten on the next day,

If some of the meat of his peace offering sacrifice is ever eaten on the third day it will not be accepted; it will not be accounted to the one who presented it, since it is spoiled, and the person who eats from it will bear his punishment for iniquity.

The person who eats meat from the peace offering sacrifice which belongs to the Lord while his uncleanness persists will be cut off from his people.

When a person touches anything unclean (whether human uncleanness, or an unclean animal, or an unclean detestable creature) and eats some of the meat of the peace offering sacrifice which belongs to the Lord , that person will be cut off from his people.'"

If anyone eats fat from the animal from which he presents a gift to the Lord , that person will be cut off from his people.

Any person who eats any blood—that person will be cut off from his people.'"

"Tell the Israelites, ‘The one who presents his peace offering sacrifice to the Lord must bring his offering to the Lord from his peace offering sacrifice.

With his own hands he must bring the Lord 's gifts. He must bring the fat with the breast to wave the breast as a wave offering before the Lord ,

and the priest must offer the fat up in smoke on the altar, but the breast will belong to Aaron and his sons.

The one from Aaron's sons who presents the blood of the peace offering and fat will have the right thigh as his share,

for the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution offering I have taken from the Israelites out of their peace offering sacrifices and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the people of Israel as a perpetual allotted portion.'"

This is the allotment of Aaron and the allotment of his sons from the Lord 's gifts on the day Moses presented them to serve as priests to the Lord .

"Take Aaron and his sons with him, and the garments, the anointing oil, the sin offering bull, the two rams, and the basket of unleavened bread,

So Moses brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them with water.

Finally, he set the turban on his head and attached the gold plate, the holy diadem, to the front of the turban just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Then he brought near the sin offering bull and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the sin offering bull,

and he slaughtered it. Moses then took the blood and put it all around on the horns of the altar with his finger and decontaminated the altar, and he poured out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar and so consecrated it to make atonement on it.

Then he presented the burnt offering ram and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram,

Then he presented the second ram, the ram of ordination, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on the head of the ram
