Leviticus 7:33-36

7:33 The one from Aaron’s sons who presents the blood of the peace offering and fat will have the right thigh as his share, 7:34 for the breast of the wave offering and the thigh of the contribution offering I have taken from the Israelites out of their peace offering sacrifices and have given them to Aaron the priest and to his sons from the people of Israel as a perpetual allotted portion.’” ¹ 

7:35 This is the allotment of Aaron and the allotment of his sons from the Lord’s gifts on the day Moses ²  presented them to serve as priests ³  to the Lord. 7:36 This is what the Lord commanded to give to them from the Israelites on the day Moses ⁴  anointed them ⁵  – a perpetual allotted portion throughout their generations. ⁶ 

[7:34]  ¹ tn Or “a perpetual regulation”; cf. NASB “as their due forever”; NRSV “as a perpetual due”; NLT “their regular share.”

[7:35]  ¹ tn Heb “the day he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:35]  ² tn Heb “in the day of he presented them to serve as priests to the Lord.” The grammar here is relatively unusual. First, the verb “presented” appears to be in the perfect rather than the infinitive (but see GKC 531), the latter being normal in such temporal expressions. Second, the active verb form appears to be used as a passive plural (“they were presented”). However, if it is translated active and singular then Moses would be the subject: “on the day he [Moses] offered them [Aaron and his sons].”

[7:36]  ¹ tn Heb “the day he”; the referent (Moses) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[7:36]  ² tn Heb “which the Lord commanded to give to them in the day he anointed them from the children of Israel.” Thus v. 36 is tied syntactically to v. 35 (see the note there).

[7:36]  ³ tn Heb “for your generations”; cf. NIV “for the generations to come”; TEV “for all time to come.”
