Context — The Priests’ Portion
26You must not eat the blood of any bird or animal in any of your dwellings.
27If anyone eats blood, that person must be cut off from his people.’”
28Then the LORD said to Moses,
29“Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘Anyone who presents a peace offering to the LORD must bring it as his sacrifice to the LORD. 30With his own hands he is to bring the food offerings to the LORD; he shall bring the fat, together with the breast, and wave the breast as a wave offering before the LORD.Leviticus 7:28 Summary
