26 aMoreover you shall not eat any blood in any of your dwellings, whether of bird or beast.
27 Whoever eats any blood, that person shall be cut off from his people.’ ”
The Portion of Aaron and His Sons
28 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
29 “Speak to the children of Israel, saying: a‘He who offers the sacrifice of his peace offering to the Lord shall bring his offering to the Lord from the sacrifice of his peace offering.
30 aHis own hands shall bring the offerings made by fire to the Lord. The fat with the breast he shall bring, that the bbreast may be waved as a wave offering before the Lord.
31 aAnd the priest shall burn the fat on the altar, but the bbreast shall be Aaron’s and his sons’.
32 aAlso the right thigh you shall give to the priest as a heave offering from the sacrifices of your peace offerings.
33 He among the sons of Aaron, who offers the blood of the peace offering and the fat, shall have the right thigh for his part.
34 For athe breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the heave offering I have taken from the children of Israel, from the sacrifices of their peace offerings, and I have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the children of Israel by a statute forever.’ ”

Leviticus 7:28-32
Let us gather this all together. The fat, the entrails—those things that we would not ordinarily eat—those things were burned on the fire. That was God's portion of the offering. The brisket and the right thigh, that went to the priest. The rest of the animal belonged to the offeror.
