The breast of the animal is a special gift, and the right hind leg is a special contribution that the LORD has taken from the people of Israel and given to the priests. This is what the people of Israel must give to the priests for all time to come.

But you and your families may eat the breast and the hind leg that are presented as the special gift and the special contribution to the LORD for the priests.
