Sacrificial ritual: an example

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying: Speak to the people of Israel, saying: Anyone who would offer to the Lord a sacrifice of well-being must himself bring to the Lord his offering from his sacrifice of well-being. His own hands shall bring the Lord’s offering by fire; he shall bring the fat with the breast, so that the breast may be raised as an elevation offering before the Lord. The priest shall turn the fat into smoke on the altar, but the breast shall belong to Aaron and his sons. And the right thigh from your sacrifices of well-being you shall give to the priest as an offering; the one among the sons of Aaron who offers the blood and fat of the offering of well-being shall have the right thigh for a portion. For I have taken the breast of the elevation offering, and the thigh that is offered, from the people of Israel, from their sacrifices of well-being, and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons, as a perpetual due from the Israelites. (Lev. 7:28–34)
