Exodus 29:27

And thou shalt sanctify both the consecrated breast, and the shoulder that thou didst separate of the ram,

Douay-Rheims 1899

In The King James Version

In Context

28Wherewith Aaron was consecrated and his sons, and they shall fall to Aarons share and his sons' by a perpetual right from the children of Israel: because they are the choicest and the beginnings of their peace victims which they offer to the Lord.
